Samantha Larson joins the Elmira College coaching staff for her first season as the Assistant Women’s Soccer Coach and Head JV Women’s Soccer Coach. Larson is a 2011 graduate from the American International College in Massachusetts where she was a starting defender, leading the Yellow Jackets to their first Northeast-10 Championship Tournament in 10 years. She also helped the program to its first NCAA Tournament appearance and win.

Prior to her two years at AIC, Larson competed at Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where she started at defense both years, and was promoted to team captain in her second season. During her sophomore year she garnered NJCAA All-Region honors as well as receiving the NSCAA/Adidas All American award.

Coupled with Larson’s playing experience are a number of different coaching stints. She has served as the head coach for the Cheyenne Sting, an under 14 girls team, as well as the Golden Eagles Soccer Academy, a K-6 camp in which she served as the director. Larson also served as an assistant coach to the Western United, an under 18 boys team out of Springfield, Massachusetts. Larson recently coached an under 14 girls team in West Springfield, MA to a first place finish in their league as well as winning the Massachusetts Tournament of Champions (MTOCs).

Larson holds a USSF “E” License, NSCAA Goalkeeping Level I (State) Diploma, NSCAA Goalkeeping Level II (Regional) Diploma and the NSCAA National Diploma. Originally from California, Larson’s wide range of contacts and ability to network throughout the country will prove to be a valuable asset to the EC women’s soccer program.

Larson is pursuing a Master’s degree in General Education at Elmira College.
