Emma Webb enters into her third season as the head coach for the women's soccer program at Nyack College. Under Webb's leadership, the program has seen a demonstrated desire to keep a standard of excellence both on and off the field.Â
In her second season at the helm, Webb brought the Warriors to a 3rd place regular-season finish, seven steps higher than the previous season. Webb states, "the desire I see in this group to grow together on and off the field is something really special. This team knows what it means to be a family, and that means pushing each other to accept the challenge and rise to the occasion. I am proud of the togetherness, fight, and ownership I see day in and day out." The Warriors finished the season with the first playoff win in program history and with Webb named CACC Coach of the year.
The Warriors boasted the most wins in program history since 2013 this past season and continued to set the standard in conference play. Webb continues to see a defined culture and saw several players named to player of the week and honorable mention in the conference. Shanice Rapp Academic All-District Team and 11 players were named to the conference All-Academic Team.
Webb is a graduate of Houghton College where she played for four years under head coach David Lewis. During that time the team made four consecutive runs to the NCCAA national tournament, and in 2016 took home the national title. After her active playing career, Webb made the transition into coaching as an assistant coach for the women's program at Eastern Nazarene College (ENC). In her last year at ENC, Webb transitioned as an assistant coach from the women's to the men's program. In that year the men's team saw their most successful season since 1994.
"We are excited to have Emma as part of the Nyack family," said athletic director Keith Davie. "Emma comes from a strong coaching lineage and when you couple that with her character, the Nyack women's soccer program is in good hands. I am excited to see where she takes the program."
Webb holds a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and Communications from Houghton College.Â
