Delaware Women’s Soccer Selects Taylor Wilson as Assistant Coach
1/30/2017 6:01:00 PM | Women's Soccer
Mike Barroqueiro began building his coaching staff Monday as he selected former All-Big East standout Mike Barroqueiro and working with the staff here at the University of Delaware,” said Wilson. “Having worked with Mike in the past, I am confident in our abilities to work together to make UD not only a great environment for the student-athletes, but a successful one as well. I want to thank Ian Stone, the staff, and the players at St. John's for making my time there so enjoyable. I wish them nothing but the best in the future."
During her two seasons at St. John's, Taylor helped lead the Red Storm to outstanding success as the squad went a combined 26-8-6 overall, including a mark of 12-3-3 in Big East regular season play. The team advanced to the Big East Tournament both seasons and competed in the NCAA Tournament with an at-large bid in 2015. This past season SJU went 11-4-5 and advanced to the Big East Tournament semifinals.
Under Wilson's guidance, the Red Storm set school records for wins (15) and shutouts (12) in 2015 while claiming the first Big East regular season title in program history. For their efforts Wilson and her colleagues were honored as the Big East Coaching Staff of the Year.
Previously Wilson had served as the director of operations for the women's soccer team at North Carolina State, helping guide the Wolfpack through an incredibly competitive Atlantic Coast Conference for head coach Tim Santoro. Prior to her stint in Raleigh, she worked as an assistant coach at Iona in 2012 under Barroqueiro. While in New Rochelle, Wilson helped the Gaels record their first MAAC Tournament appearance since 2009 as they finished 5-3-1 in conference action.
A center midfielder for Seton Hall, Wilson concluded her playing career as one of the program's all-time greats. As a senior captain in 2011, Wilson tallied four goals and six assists for 14 points, good enough for a spot on the All-Big East third team. Her six helpers were the fifth most in school history for a single campaign while her 14 points were good enough for 10th in program history. She ranks No. 4 on the all-time Seton Hall career list with 12 assists.
A two-time Big East Academic All-Star, Wilson was also named the Big East Offensive Player of the Week and the SoccerAmerica.com Division I National Player of the Week during her senior year after scoring two game-winning goals in as many contests against Georgetown and Villanova. She was also a part of the U.S. Women's Under 18 National Team Pool.
Barroqueiro will also hire a second full-time assistant coach with that announcement expected later in February.
