KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Oklahoma State coach Colin Carmichael has been named the 2008 Central Region Coach of the Year by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
In his fourth season as the Cowgirls' head coach, Carmichael led OSU to a record-breaking season and was named the 2008 Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year as the Cowgirls captured their first-ever Big 12 Conference regular season championship and set a program record with 18 wins.
OSU finished the season with an 18-1-4 mark and earned a berth in the NCAA Women's Soccer Championship for the third consecutive season. The Cowgirls were awarded one of 16 national seeds in the tourney and advanced to the second round for the third-straight season.
Under Carmichael's guidance, OSU sported one of the nation's top offenses in 2008. The Cowgirls entered the NCAA Tournament as the top scoring offense in the country, leading the nation in goals and goals per game. OSU ended the season with 74 goals and 203 points, both school records.
The Cowgirls had three players named All-Big 12 Conference, including a pair of first-team honorees, and senior Yolanda Odenyo was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.
Carmichael is one of six NSCAA Region Coach of the Year winners who are now eligible for NSCAA National Coach of the Year honors. The Central Region is comprised of 55 schools in 14 states.
The award marks the second time Carmichael has garnered Central Region Coach of the Year honors. In 2006, while serving as the team's co-head coach with Karen Hancock, he and Hancock were named Central Region Coaches of the Year and were runners-up for National Coach of the Year.
