Brad Fielder Named Head Women’s Soccer Coach

MEDIA, Pa. -- Penn State Brandywine Director of Athletics Bobbi Caprice announced that Brad Fielder has been named head coach of the Lions' women's soccer team on Monday.

Fielder spent the 2022 season as an assistant coach for the Brandywine men's soccer team, helping the Lions claim a sixth-straight Penn State University Athletic Conference championship and make an appearance in Virginia Beach at the United States Collegiate Athletic Association National Championship. Fielder's primary responsibility was working with the team's goalkeepers and defenders. The Lions led the USCAA in shutouts with 15, while allowing just 0.60 goals per contest in 23 matches.

Fielder also owns five years of experience as an assistant coach at NCAA Division III Wesley Coach from 2017-21. During his second season with the Wolverines, Wesley tied an NCAA Division III record for largest single-season turnaround by producing an 11-game improvement during the 2018 campaign. Fielder, who served as the goalkeeper's coach, also aided in the Wolverines posting the best goals-against average in the team's history at 1.17 during the same year.

In addition, Fielder brings more than 20 years of club coaching experience. He currently serves as head coach and technical director of Albion SC, a semi-pro club based in Middletown, Del. Fielder's previous club stops include the Delaware Union and the Delaware Revolution. He also owns the Diamond State Goalkeeper Academy, a training center focused on age-appropriate goalkeeping skills.

Fielder, who competed collegiately at Division III La Roche College in Pittsburgh, possesses Level I and II goalkeepers training diplomas from the United Soccer Coaches Association and holds a USSF National D license.
