Michelle Voiland

Michelle Voiland was hired as head women's soccer coach in 2020. She brings a wealth of experience to the position, largely from her 11 seasons at Division I Oregon State as both associate head coach and interim head coach from 2008-2018. During her time with the Beavers, the team was ranked nationally with numerous wins over Top 20 programs.


In her first full season, Voiland took major strides as the team post several impressive wins. The Blues handed then-undefeated Pacific Lutheran its first conference loss of the season, and closed with results in two of their final three games including a season-finale 1-0 win over Pacific.


Voiland played an integral part in rebuilding the OSU program and with the most successful runs in program history. The 2010 OSU season was a historic one. Ranked as high as 13th nationally, the Beavers finished 17-4-1 and set a school record with 14 shutout wins on their way to advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.


A goalkeeper during her playing career, Voiland played eight seasons for FC Saarbruecken of the German Bundesliga. This followed up four years as a keeper with the Southern California Blues.


Her time professionally came after a successful four-year career at the University of Portland. She graduated as the Pilots' all-time leader in saves after being named All-Conference First Team all four seasons as a keeper.
