Lacey Phillips

Allegheny College tabbed former Division III student-athlete and veteran assistant coach Lacey Phillips as the sixth women's soccer head coach in program history in April of 2021.

Phillips has spent seven seasons in collegiate coaching spanning three divisions. Most recently, she served two seasons assisting with the women's soccer program at NCAA Division I Loyola in Baltimore, Md. Prior to Loyola, she spent one season at Howard Community College in Columbia, Md., and four seasons at NCAA Division III Stevenson in Owings Mills, Md. She completed her playing career as a four-year member of the women's soccer team at NCAA Division III York (Pa.).

At Loyola, Phillips gained experience planning and executing training sessions for both the team and individuals and small groups, while also providing scouting reports on opponents, and assisting with travel logistics, equipment management and game day operations at the Division I level. From the 2018 season to the 2019 season, the Greyhounds saw an improvement from getting results in seven matches to earning a result in 12 matches, including an increase from three to seven results in the Patriot League and improvement from ninth to fourth in the regular season standings. That 2019 season also saw Loyola advance to the Patriot League semifinals where it fell to top-seeded, and eventual conference champion, Navy in penalty kicks.

Phillips started her collegiate coaching career at Stevenson in 2013 and served as an assistant with the Mustangs for four years. In 2014, the Mustangs finished 11-6-5, including a 7-0-1 mark in MAC Commonwealth play, before knocking off No. 1 nationally-ranked Messiah in penalty kicks in the conference championship game and winning an NCAA Division III Women's Soccer Championship match before bowing out to eventual national champion Lynchburg (Va.). All told, the Mustangs qualified for the MAC Commonwealth postseason each year and two Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) postseason tournaments as well as the 2014 NCAA appearance during her tenure.

Since 2017, Phillips has served as head girls club soccer coach for the 2005 (U16) and 2007 (U14) age groups at Ellicott City (Md.) Soccer Club.

Phillips graduated from York (Pa.) in 2012 with a Bachelor's degree in Sport Management. During her career, she appeared in 69 matches while helping the Spartans to the Capital Athletic Conference tournament all four years, including as a captain her senior season in 2011. She received a Master's degree in Business Technology Management from Stevenson in 2016. In April 2019, she attended the NCAA and Women Leaders in College Sports Women's Leadership Symposium and graduated from the NCAA Women Coaches Academy in December 2020. Phillips currently holds a "C" license from the United States Soccer Federation.
