“Becky will be an excellent addition to our coaching staff and program,” Head Coach Kelly Lawrence said. “She has championship-level experience at every level, both as a player and as a coach, and we’re excited about the prospect of learning from her as we continue to elevate this program and strive to win championships!”
Edwards helped lead Delaware’s offensive resurgence in 2025, as the Blue Hens scored 30 goals—the program’s highest total since 2019 and a 12-goal improvement from the previous season. Delaware opened its first Conference USA campaign with a program-record 6-0-2 start and earned consecutive conference tournament appearances for the first time since 2012–13. Nine players scored goals, with five recording at least three. Several returners posted career-best offensive seasons as well.
Prior to Delaware, Edwards spent three seasons at Tennessee, helping the Volunteers reach three consecutive NCAA Tournaments and capture a share of the 2022 SEC East title behind one of the conference’s top offenses. She also coached at Penn and Florida State, contributing to successful postseason runs and conference championships.
Beyond the collegiate level, Edwards serves as an assistant coach for the U.S. U-20 Women’s National Team, helping the program earn medals at both the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup and CONCACAF U-20 Championship.
A former standout player at Florida State, Edwards was a two-time First Team All-American, a member of the Florida State Athletics Hall of Fame, and the 12th overall pick in the 2010 Women’s Professional Soccer Draft. During a nine-year professional career, she won championships with FC Gold Pride, Western New York Flash, and Portland Thorns, while also representing the United States internationally, including captaining the U.S. to the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup title.
