Jeremy Williams

George Washington Director of Athletics Tanya Vogel proudly announced today the hiring of Jeremy Williams as the new head coach of the university's women's soccer team. Williams comes back to GW after serving a six-year stint as an assistant with the women's soccer team at the University of Miami, having formerly worked at GW for some of the most successful seasons in the history of the program.


"We're really proud to welcome Jeremy back to GW," said Vogel. "Not only has he had success coaching at the very top of the sport, but he's seen specifically at George Washington what it takes to build a winner and thrive in the Atlantic 10. Jeremy has a brilliant tactical mind and is dedicated to the holistic development of our students. I am confident he will build a program that will compete for conference championships."


From 2015-17, Williams was on staff at GW, helping the team secure a 37-17-7 record. In 2015, he was a key factor in the program's first Atlantic 10 regular-season title in 20 years and its first-ever perfect A-10 conference mark at 10-0-0, en route to a 16-5-0 overall record while setting a new school record with 14 consecutive victories.


"I want to thank Tanya Vogel and Chris Hennelly for the opportunity to come back to the George Washington University," said Williams. "I have always been impressed with the success GW student-athletes have had on and off the field, and plan to continue that tradition. I look forward to establishing a culture that emphasizes professionalism and attention to detail and am excited to get to work."


Previously Williams had additional ACC experience through a three-season run at Florida State as a volunteer assistant, with a national title to show for his efforts in 2014. All told, while Williams was with the Seminoles, FSU went 66-7-4 (.883), won 20-plus matches each season on their way to the College Cup, and played for the national crown twice.


Among other accomplishments and accolades, the newest coach of the Revolutionaries also has secured his National 'C' License from the United States Soccer Federation (USSF).
