Pasco-Hernando State College has named Stuart Campbell as the new women’s head soccer coach. This fall will be the first year for PHSC’s intercollegiate soccer program that will be held at the Wiregrass Ranch Sports Complex.

“We are excited about Coach Campbell starting our new soccer program,” said PHSC athletic director Steve Winterling. “Stuart brings a wealth of soccer experience and knowledge as a professional player and coach.”

Stuart played professionally from 1996-2013, before serving as the assistant coach for the Tampa Bay Rowdies from 2014-2015 and head coach from 2015-2018.

“It’s a great honor to be named PHSC women’s head soccer coach, since moving to Pasco County from the UK nine years ago,” said Campbell. “I’ve been astounded by the growth in women’s soccer in the area and cannot wait to get started and change the culture of women’s soccer.”

The soccer program will be a member of the National Junior College Athletic Program (NJCAA) and Florida College System Activities Association (FCSAA). It joins PHSC’s other intercollegiate athletics programs that include women’s volleyball, cross country and softball and men’s basketball and baseball.
