New Oregon women’s head soccer coach Tara Erickson announced the hiring of associate head coach Mike Smith and assistant coach Nicole Wilcox to her staff.
Smith was the top assistant coach at Santa Clara for the past three seasons and Wilcox was a volunteer assistant for Erickson last season at Portland State. She was also a standout player at Washington State, earning second-team All-Pacific-10 Conference honors in 2002.
“I think we have an incredible staff,” Erickson said. “Mike and I have worked for each other as region head and assistant coaches and vice versa, so we have an excellent relationship.
“Nicole infuses youth, intelligence and hard work, too,” she continued. “I like the fact that the staff can exchange ideas freely, to optimize a strategy that takes Oregon to a new level.”
