Jane Grimley-Gunn

Jane Grimley-Gunn enters her seconc season as the head coach for Missouri S&T's women's soccer program after leading the Miners to a record of 3-8-4 and 3-7-2 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference during the 2022 campaign.


Grimley-Gunn came to Missouri S&T after spending four seasons serving as the associate head coach for the women's soccer program at Goldey-Beacom College. She served in that role after completing her playing career at Goldey-Beacom – an NCAA Division II institution in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference – where she helped lead teams to a 48-24-4 overall record and 34-11-2 mark in conference play during those four seasons.


"I couldn't be more excited for this opportunity. Coming from a program that experienced similar growth, I know this team is on the brink of something special, especially after the most recent season," Grimley said. "It is a critical time for the program and I am honored and thrilled to be the person to take this on, building upon the previous successes to arise as a consistently strong competitor in the Great Lakes Valley Conference."


In her four seasons on the Goldey Beacom staff, the Lightning won at least 10 games in each of them, including a 15-win season in 2018 and reached the semifinals of the CACC Tournament in three of the four seasons. She coached Jenna Fannon, the CACC's Player of the Year and NCAA Division II's top goal scorer in the 2019 campaign as well as two players named as the conference's "Rookie of the Year" and one named as the top defensive player in that league.


Grimley was responsible for numerous duties in her role as associate head coach, including organizing and working practices, recruiting, execution of events such as identification clinics, camps and fundraisers and conducting film sessions. She also helped with pre- and post-game operational duties within the team.


In 2019, Grimley was recognized by the United Soccer Coaches – the national organization for soccer coaches – as a recipient of the "30 Under 30" award. She has her United States Soccer Federation D license and is completing work on her C license, while also completing Part I of her advanced national diploma from the United Soccer Coaches.


Besides her duties on the Goldey Beacom staff, Grimley has also worked with Sporting Delaware as a head coach, where she works with youth club programs in the state and has led the Under-16 team to the fourth-most wins in the Mid-Atlantic region during the 2021 fall season. She has also worked with the Olympic Development Program in Delaware and as a staff coach with the Philadelphia Union youth program, where she has executed camps, clinics and virtual sessions for several age groups and observed the Under-17 Academy boy's program on a recurring basis.


Before going into coaching, Grimley was a four-year player at Goldey-Beacom and in 65 career games, recorded 10 goals – three of which were game-winners – and six assists for 26 points. She earned the CACC's Player of the Week award during her career and was a member of the conference's fall academic Honor Roll. On the field, after her team won two games during her freshman season, Goldey-Beacom improved to a 12-win team by her senior year and following that season was named as the recipient of the team's coaches award.

Robert Cummings

Rob Cummings just completed his fifth season as the head coach of the Missouri S&T men's soccer program and took the Miners to the GLVC Tournament during the 2022 campaign as the team finished with a record of 5-7-5 and 4-4-1 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference.


Cummings had 10 years of experience as a head coach at the collegiate level before taking at S&T in August 2018 as the ninth head coach in the history of the program dating back to 1979. He had previous head coaching experience that includes a six-year stint at California State University, Monterey Bay and two years as the head coach at Saint Joseph's College, a former member of the Great Lakes Valley Conference, in the early 2000s.


In the 2022 season, S&T closed the year with a victory over Indianapolis to reach the conference tournament, then took top-seeded Maryville -- who reached the NCAA Division II quarterfinals -- to penalty kicks before falling to the Saints.


The Miners just missed the GLVC Tournament in 2021 after going 6-8-2 overall and 5-7-2 in the GLVC, which came on the heels of a 2021 spring season when S&T was 5-8-1. S&T finished the 2018 season with a record of 3-13, with one of the victories coming over defending GLVC champion Rockhurst, which was followed by a 5-10-2 season that included a win over GLVC Tournament participant Illinois Springfield.


During his six seasons at Cal State Monterey Bay, Cummings guided the program to its first national rankings, as the Otters were ranked as high as 25th during the 2013 season and again two seasons later. The 2013 season was his most successful at the school, as CSUMB went 11-5-1 – including a record nine wins in the California Collegiate Athletic Association -- and improved its record by eight wins over the previous year that season.


In his tenure, the Otters had players – 11 in all -- named to the All-CCAA team in each of the six seasons he served as head coach. His teams also performed well in the classroom as the squad has been the recipient of the United Soccer Coaches (then known as the National Soccer Coaches Association of America) team academic award and have had several players named to the CCAA's all-academic team.


Prior to taking the position at CSUMB, Cummings served as the associate head coach at Midwestern State in Texas for four seasons. While he was at MSU, the Mustangs won four Lone Star Conference championships and advanced to the NCAA Division II semifinal round in 2007 and 2010.


Midwestern State recorded a record of 69-9-7 during those four years, including a mark of 19-1-2 in 2010 where the loss came in the national semifinals. The Mustangs were ranked among the top five in the nation at the end of two of the four seasons and in 2008, MSU spent three weeks as the top-ranked team in NCAA Division II.


Cummings began his head coaching career at Saint Joseph's (Ind.) in 2003, where he headed both the men's and women's programs, and guided the men's team to its first national ranking in school history during the 2003 season as it set a school record with 51 goals scored. Meanwhile, the women's team made the GLVC Tournament in both seasons, including a season in which it recorded 10 shutouts.


In 2005, Cummings moved on to Bethel College in Tennessee, where he guided the Wildcats to a 26-12-4 record over two seasons and was named as the regional coach of the year in 2006; he was also a finalist for NAIA national coach of the year. The team earned its first-ever top ranking in the region in 2006 and had three first-team all-region selections and honorable mention All-America picks at the NAIA level.


Cummings played collegiately at John Wood Community College in Quincy, Ill., and at Lindenwood University, where he earned his bachelor's degree in Spanish. He went on to earn a Master's degree in international business and marketing from Rockhurst University, where he assisted the women's soccer program for four seasons and helped the Hawks garner a 41-29-2 record during that span. Two players he coached earned All-America honors and another was named as an Academic All-America recipient.
