Bill Steffen enters his third season as an assistant at UNCG in 2010. Steffen works primarily with the goalkeepers.

In his two years on the staff, Steffen has seen keeper Kelsey Kearney twice earn All-Southern Conference honors. She was a first-team selection as a freshman in 2008, when she set a school record with a 0.48 goals against average. Kearney followed that up with a 0.80 mark in 2009, the third-best GAA in school history, and took second-team All-SoCon honors. In just two seasons, Kearney has posted 19 shutouts, the fourth-best career mark in school history.

Steffen brings a wealth of coaching experience to the Spartans and is no stranger to the UNCG soccer programs, having served as an assistant coach for UNCG's men's squad for one year. Steffen also served as an assistant on the North Carolina men's side for one year and women's side for three years before taking off for the University of Oregon from 1996-2005 to serve as head coach.

A national staff coach for the past 14 years, Steffen has also been a member of the NSCAA goalkeeping staff and also served as the NSCAA Division I Women's Soccer representative for three years while also serving as the West Regional Ranking Chair for four years. Steffen brings professional playing experience to the Spartans as well, having played five years for the Albany Capitals of the ASL and APSL.

Steffen, who is currently working toward completion of his doctorate in sport and exercise psychology, also had coaching stints at Lyndon State College, University at Albany, Greensboro College, Furman and Duke. He served as an assistant at each school with the exception of Greensboro, where he held the head coaching position for two seasons.
