Coaches/Staff

Head Coach: Amanda Cromwell

Assistant Coach: Louise Lieberman

Assistant Coach: Joshua Walters

Goalkeeper Coach (Volunteer): Aline Reis

Director of Soccer Operations: Sam Greene

Cromwell is no doubt a winner. Her UCLA record includes a whooping 51 wins, 12 losses, and 6 ties. Under her leadership, the Bruins earned their first ever NCAA Championship and took home the Pac-12 title in 2013 and 2014.

Last year was rough for the Bruins. Cromwell understood that, so she made necessary changes. She looked for the best talent she could find and brought it to Westwood. Cromwell was also influential in the $5-million dollar donation UCLA Soccer received to update the North Athletic Field. Cromwell knows that UCLA deserves the best, and she is not afraid to go out and get it.

But the coach currently stealing the headlines is goalkeeper coach Aline Reis. Reis was tapped by the Brazil squad to play in Rio. Reis got her first start this week against South Africa, and she was flawless. UCLA can only hope that Reis will come back more experienced and ready to pass on her knowledge to Ervik and Micah.
