Josh Green
Assistant Coach
Josh Green is in his third season as an assistant coach for the South Dakota women's soccer team.
South Dakota had the youngest roster in the nation in 2011, with 21 freshmen -- the most in the NCAA -- on its roster. And while there were growing pains with such a young lineup, there were clear signs of growth.
The Coyotes won their first-ever Summit League game, a 2-1 decision over Western Illinois, on Sept. 30, 2011, and also earned ties against Green Bay, North Dakota and IUPUI. Two of the Coyotes' losses came in double overtime, to Creighton and Boise State. South Dakota finished with six one-goal losses on the season. In addition, Makena Cameron was named to the Summit League Freshmen Team after a solid season as one of the team's starting midfielders.
The Coyotes also thrived in the classroom in 2011, with 17 players earning Academic All-Summit League honors.
The Coyotes finished 4-12-2 in 2010, but showed clear signs of improvement. The Coyotes lost four one-goal games on the season in addition to earning two double-overtime ties. The Coyotes also allowed 2.48 goals per game, an improvement of 1.24 from the 2009 season. South Dakota student-athletes also earned six Great West Conference Player of the Week honors in 2009. The Coyotes also earned wins over future Summit League foes Western Illinois and Missouri-Kansas City during the campaign.
Green was an assistant coach at Xavier University (Ohio) in 2009, where he was involved in all aspects of the program. Prior to his time at Xavier, Green was an assistant coach at Loyola Marymount in California in 2008-09, where he helped lead the team to a 10-6-3 record. During that season, Loyola had two NSCAA All-Far West Scholar-Athletes, six All-West Coast Conference Scholar Athletes and six All-West Coast Conference players.
Green was also an graduate assistant at Minnesota State University, Mankato from 2006-08, where he helped the MSU program become a Division II national power. The Mavericks had a 26-9-3 record during that time, and had three All-Central Region players and eight All-North Central Conference players.
From 2004-06, Green was an assistant coach at the University of Iowa, and from 1996-2003, was an assistant at Pepperdine University, where he helped build the program into a Top 25 team. Pepperdine made three appearances in the NCAA tournament from 1996-2003.
Green is a 1994 graduate of California Lutheran University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in physical education. He completed his master's degree in sports psychology from Minnesota State, Mankato in 2008.
Green and his wife, Mandy, have a son, Jack and live in Vermillion.
