BURLINGTON, Vt. – University of Vermont head women's soccer coach Kwame Lloyd has announced his resignation, effective immediately, after three years at the helm of the program. UVM Associate Vice President and Director of Athletics Dr. Robert Corran made the announcement Tuesday evening.

“We sincerely appreciate Kwame's commitment to our student-athletes and the women's soccer program, and his many contributions to the Department of Athletics. He has been as good a colleague as we could hope for and we wish him and his family the very best in their future endeavors,” said Corran.

“I would like to thank Dr. Corran and Jeff Schulman for giving me the opportunity to coach the women's soccer program at the University of Vermont. I would also like to thank the players and parents for their support of our growth and the direction of the program. I am looking forward to pursuing other opportunities that will benefit me and my family,” stated Lloyd.

During his three-year stint on the Vermont sidelines, Lloyd compiled a record of 7-42-4. This season, Vermont posted an overall record of 2-16 and went 1-7 in America East action.

Overall, Lloyd coached three all-rookie selections during his time at Vermont. Additionally, a total of 47 players were named to the America East Academic Honor Roll and the team earned the NSCAA Team Academic Award twice.

The search for a new head coach will begin immediately. Assistant coach Kristi Lefebvre has been named interim head coach and will oversee the program until a new head coach is named.
