Becky Edwards enters her first season with the Delaware women's soccer program in 2025.

“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!”

Prior to joining the Blue Hens staff, Edwards spent three seasons with Tennessee. The Volunteers boasted a 29-20-10 record in the three seasons Edwards was there, including three straight trips to the NCAA Tournament. In 2022, the Volunteers offense ranked second in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in goals per game at 2.26, and third in total goals with 43 en route to a SEC East Division Co-Championship.

Before her time in Rocky Top, Edwards was an assistant coach at Penn for one season. She helped lead the Quakers to a 9-5-2 record in 2021 and working directly with the offense, which turned in 29 goals over 16 games.

Edwards was a graduate assistant at her alma mater, Florida State, assisting the staff with training and film sessions as the Seminoles mounted an 18-6-0 record en route to a postseason run to the NCAA Quarterfinals in 2019 and capturing the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) title in the fall of 2020, going 11-0 in conference play.
Outside of collegiate coaching, Edwards is a current Assistant Coach for the US U-20 Women’s National Team. With US women’s soccer, the team won a bronze medal in the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, and a a silver medal in the CONCACAF U20 Championships

During her playing career, Edwards was an accomplished athlete at both the collegiate and professional levels. A two-time First Team All-America selection, she led Florida State to a 72-18-11 record during her four years, making NCAA Tournament appearances every season and twice advancing to the College Cup. She was named to the Florida State Athletics Hall of Fame in 2021.

She graduated magna cum laude from FSU in 2010 before being drafted as the 12th overall pick in the 2010 Women's Professional Soccer draft, leading FC Gold Pride to a WPS Championship in her rookie season. That was the start of a nine-year pro career which also included titles with Western NY Flash and Portland Thorns, as well as two stints in Sweden.

At the international level, Edwards captained the United States to the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup title, and in 2011 she helped the U.S. U-23 National Team win a championship at the Four Nations Tournament in La Manga, Spain. Following that performance, she earned a call-up to the senior USWNT camp.

“I am honored to join the Delaware Women’s Soccer program. I would like to thank Kelly Lawrence and Chrissi Rawak for this great opportunity. I am looking forward to joining the Delaware community, and I am eager to help build on the strong foundation that Kelly and her staff have already put in place,” Edwards said.
