Trent Boyd is beginning his second season as the graduate assistant coach for the men’s and women’s soccer programs at Spalding.
In 2016, Boyd enjoyed a successful opening season on both sides. The men’s soccer team went undefeated in conference and won the 2016 SLIAC Championship, while the women’s team finished 11-5-2 overall and earned their second straight Top 3 conference finish.
Further, Alyssa Logan from the women’s team and Joey Lesher from the men’s team were both named Academic All-Americans in Boyd’s first season. These two players were the first two Academic All-Americans in Spalding’s NCAA history.
Boyd’s primary responsibilities with both the men’s and women’s teams include serving as recruiting coordinator, technical training, website development, social media, and game day management.
Boyd comes to Spalding after finishing a standout career at Georgetown College, where he was a four-year starter and captained the Tigers during his time as a center midfielder. Georgetown is a member of the Mid-South Conference of NAIA.
Boyd has served as a Head Coach for Bluegrass Soccer Club out of Versailles, KY for the past three years, working with the U16 Boys, U12 Boys, and U9/10 Academy. Boyd currently holds his USSF D License and has served on staff for camps at Centre College, Bellarmine University, Spalding University, Georgetown College, and the Kentucky Youth Soccer Association.
A native of Versailles, Ky, Trent earned his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology while at Georgetown. The exercise science major also earned a minor in Communications. While at Spalding, he’ll be pursuing his Master of Business Communication (MSBC).
