Head Coach Kacey Bingham didn't have to look far for her next assistant coach to join the Western Oregon University soccer staff. Maryn Beutler, most recently on the staff at the University of Oregon as the graduate assistant coach, will join the Wolves as the next assistant coach for the coming season.
"I'm thrilled to add Maryn to the staff. I've known and been able to work with Maryn for the past couple of years. I have been so impressed with her coaching and leadership style. It is so important to bring on coaches who can relate to the players but also challenge them. She has so much passion for the game and coaching. She will be a great addition!" Head Coach Kacey Bingham said.
"I am beyond thankful for the opportunity to be a part of the WOU women's soccer team. I am passionate about my coaching career and look forward to bringing what I have learned from my past experiences to the program. I am looking forward to the opportunity to continue to learn and push this team forward. I'm excited to work with Head Coach Kacey Bingham and this talented group of young women," Beutler said.
Beutler remained with the Ducks after a successful playing career serving as a graduate assistant coach and director of operations over the past two years. Along with serving her role with the University of Oregon, Beutler was actively involved with the Timbers and Thorns Youth Soccer Department, where she was the ODP Assistant Coach, as well as the RTC Director of Coaching.
During the summer of 2016, Beutler became head coach of the Eugene Timbers FC and also helped run the EXACT Soccer Camps and Stanford Soccer Camps.
Originally from Bend, Ore., Beutler was a midfielder for the Ducks from 2012-16 playing in 78 career matches, tallying eight goals and two assists for 18 points. Of her eight goals, five were game-winners. Her 78 appearances rank sixth all-time at Oregon, while her 94 career shots rank 10th.
She took home Pac-12 player of the week honors during her senior season after posting a goal and an assist in Oregon's wins over Arizona and Arizona State.
After graduating from Oregon with a degree in journalism in 2016, Beutler moved to Portland to work in information technology staffing with Insight Global. After starting as a recruiter, she was promoted to account management after eight months. She was responsible for several managing accounts, including Columbia Sportswear, Salesforce and Verizon.
Before arriving back at Oregon to begin her collegiate coaching career, Beutler coached the 02 and 03 Girls in the Eastside Timbers Soccer Club and played in the WPSL with the Westside Timbers.
Beutler was part of several successful teams during her high school career at Bend helping lead the team to the 2008 and 2009 state 5A Championships.
