Eddie Radwanski

Eddie Radwanski is in his twelfth year at the helm of the Clemson women’s soccer team.

Beginning in 2014, Radwanski has had nine consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances including an NCAA Round of 16 run in 2016 and NCAA Elite Eight run in 2021.

Prior to arriving at Clemson, Radwanski spent 10 seasons as the head coach at UNC Greensboro, where he amassed a 139-65-13 record and led the Spartans to five NCAA tournament appearances during his tenure.

The Spartans won the Southern Conference regular season and/or tournament championship eight of Radwanski’s 10 seasons, and the team earned the NSCAA Team Academic Award every year from 2001-2010. In his 10 years at UNC Greensboro, Radwanski coached 19 NSCAA Regional All-Americans, 46 All-Southern Conference selections, five SoCon Freshmen of the Year, five SoCon Players of the Year and four SoCon Tournament Most Valuable Players. He was a three-time SoCon Coach of the Year, in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
