7 COACHING STAFF 7 HEAD COACH MATT POTTER Tournament for the first time since After three seasons at the helm of the Oklahoma soccer program, head coach Matt Potter has begun to see his vision for the team take shape. A proven leader and builder of successful programs, Potter arrived at OU in December 2011 with the goal of positioning the Sooners as one of the nation s elite soccer teams. In Potter s third season at Oklahoma, the Sooners took a huge step forward. Despite being picked to finish last in the preseason Big 12 poll, Oklahoma earned 10 wins on the way to its first NCAA Tournament berth under Potter. Oklahoma posted victories over five ranked teams on the season, most notably No. 6 Florida on August 29. The team s strong start led to its highest ranking in program history, a No. 15 spot in the NSCAA poll. After a tough stretch of Big 12 play, the Sooners were able to rally for a Halloween night win over No. 14 Kansas before taking their first two matches of the Big 12 Tournament. They finished as runners-up in Kansas City and earned a trip to the NCAA Perhaps the most impressive thing about Oklahoma s 2014 squad was its youth. The roster was composed of ten freshmen and 12 sophomores, and inexperienced Sooners saw significant playing time. Potter got the most out of his young lineup, and he guided defender Laura Rayfield and midfielder Lizzie Luallin to All-Big 12 Newcomer team honors. In his second season as head coach, the Sooners finished with a record, recording shutouts for all four wins and battlng to a 1-1 tie at Utah. Potter also helped guide two freshmen to solid seasons with midfielders Jemma Cota and Paige Jacobs earning selections to the All-Big 12 Newcomer team. Potter led Oklahoma to a record in his first season as head coach, the most wins by a rookie head coach in Sooner history. Potter s squad also qualified to the program s third consecutive Big 12 tournament, another first for the program. Perhaps one of the crowning moments of the season for his team was a 1-0 upset win over in-state rival and then-no. 3 ranked Oklahoma State in Norman on Sept. 7, In addition to the achievements of the team as a whole, Potter s guidance led to multiple individuals to successful seasons. Senior forward Renae Cuellar had a breakout season at OU after transferring from Arizona. Cuellar was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, the first Sooner in program history to earn the title. Cuellar was also named to the NCAA Division I All-Central Region first team by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and captured first All-Big 12 and Big 12 All-Newcomer team honors. A hallmark of any Potter-led team is achievement in the classroom as well as on the field, and the 2012 Sooners followed suit under his leadership. The squad earned Team Academic Award Recognition from the NSCAA, carrying a team grade point average of In addition, senior Katharine Nutman earned 2012 Capital One Academic All-District 7 Women s Soccer first team honors from the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Prior to his arrival at Oklahoma, Potter established Washington State s program into one of the Pac-12 s elite with a school record 88 wins ( overall) at the helm, including five double-digit win seasons and three appearances in the NCAA tournament. The Cougars advanced into the second round of the NCAA tournament in 2011 and Prior to his arrival, Washington State advanced to three NCAA tournaments since the program s inception in While coaching 32 all-conference selections and seven players that have taken part of national team camps or competitions at Washington State, the program s success in the classroom did not go unnoticed during Potter s tenure. He has helped mentor 108 student-athletes that have earned academic all-conference accolades and Washington State received the NSCAA Team Academic Award in 2011, marking the seventh time the program earned the honor under Potter. Potter took leadership of the Cougar program in July of 2003, just a few months after being named an assistant in February. Potter was in his first season after taking over for Dan Tobias, who took the head coaching job at the University of Arizona in Following his debut season, Potter s Cougar teams rattled off six straight winning seasons and the 2006 squad tied a program record with 10 shutouts. In the past five seasons on the field, Washington State has enjoyed four campaigns with double-digit wins and a combined record. The Cougars were also ranked in the top 25 polls in four of those seasons, including a school record eight straight weeks in Most recently, Washington State returned to the big dance in 2011 and advanced to the second round for the second time in the last three years. The Cougars posted a overall record and a fourth-place finish in the Pac-12 with a program best six wins in conference play (6-3-2 mark). Four Cougars earned all-conference honors and two were named to the coaches association all-region team. The Cougars tied a program record for wins with 14 in 2009 after topping Villanova in the first round of the NCAA tournament. It marked the first back-to-back appearances in the postseason for Washington State. The 2009 club tied WSU s highest finish in the Pac-10 standings (third) with a mark, finished the year THE POTTER FILE HOMETOWN: Mere, England ALMA MATER: West London College of Brunel University, 92 FAMILY: Wife, Olga and daughter, Cassidy Stepchildren: Andrew, Marissa and Valerie COACHING HISTORY 2011-present, Oklahoma Head Coach , Washington State Head Coach 2003, Washington State Assistant Coach , Scottsdale Community College COACHING ACCOMPLISHMENTS Head coach in four NCAA Tournaments (OU: 2014) Led Oklahoma to a program-record ranking of No. 15 in 2014 NCAA second round appearance in 2011 and career D-I coaching victories Coached 39 all-conference selections at OU and WSU Cougar teams set or tied 25 program records Team in 2009 tied program record with 14 wins 2009 squad finished season ranked No. 18 nationally Has led nine teams that have earned NSCAA Team Academic Awards Holds a USSF A license and NSCAA premier license PLAYING EXPERIENCE , West London College U-19 English National Team Watford F.C.
