UCSB women’s soccer adds Calhoun to coaching staff

Former TCU standout Jordan Calhoun has joined the UCSB women’s soccer coaching staff, head coach Paul Stumpf announced.

“A number of people reached out to me about Jordan and it became pretty clear that she would be a great choice to join our coaching staff,” Stumpf said. “Her work-ethic and character are outstanding, and on top of that she was a great college player and understands the game at a very high level.”

Calhoun was a four-year starter at TCU and led the Horned Frogs in goals and points in each of her four seasons, finishing with 36 career goals and 85 total points.

In addition to her exploits on the field, Calhoun was a two-time Academic All-Mountain West and two-time CoSIDA Academic All-District choice. Also, following her senior season, she was selected the Bob Lilly TCU Female Athlete of the Year by the Greater Fort Worth Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

UCSB will preview the 2013 season when it hosts Westmont College in a 7 p.m. scrimmage at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium on Tuesday, Aug. 20. The regular season will kick-off three days later when the Gauchos host Fresno State in a 7 p.m. home match on Friday, Aug. 23.
