Starting her third season in 2010 with the Wildcat coaching staff is Erin Lycan.
In the spring of 2010, Lycan got the privilege to spend 16 days traveling to Moscow and Sochi, Russia for the Under-19 Kuban Women’s Soccer Tournament. She was one of three coaches that were apart of the staff traveling and coaching the team. You can read about it in her blog "Exploring Russia."
Lycan came to Davidson after two years at Stephen F. Austin as an assistant coach as well as serving as the interim head coach. During her time at SFA, the Ladyjacks compiled a 22-13-3 record, including a 13-5-2 mark which was the third-best season win total in SFA history, and which included a regular season championship title and the Southland Conference tournament title and a trip to the NCAA Tournament to play Texas A&M in 2007.
"I'm excited to have Erin join our staff here at Davidson," said head coach Greg Ashton. "Erin played in the ACC and understands what it takes to win a conference championship. Her understanding of the challenging academic environment and appreciation of a true student-athlete makes her a great fit for our program. With young goalkeepers in our program, it was essential to find someone who would be a great mentor to this group. I look forward to Erin's contribution to furthering the success of this program."
Lycan’s response upon joining the Wildcat staff: "I'm looking forward to continuing to work toward the tradition of excellence that Davidson student-athletes have established both on and off the field."
Lycan, who is currently a part of the Region I Olympic Development Program goalkeeping staff, is also on staff for the North Carolina Olympic Development Program. Prior to moving to Texas, she was part of the Tennessee Soccer Olympic Development Program in 2005-06. In addition to coaching the Wildcat goalkeepers and youth goalkeepers in the ODP ranks, Lycan also trains male and female youth goalkeepers and serves as a guest team trainer at North Meck Soccer Club, a US Soccer Development Academy.
A graduate of Virginia, Lycan was a three-year letter winner who played goalkeeper for the Cavaliers and helped lead them to an Atlantic Coast Conference championship in 2004. She was a member of the Soccer Buzz Number One Recruiting Class in the Nation her freshman year in 2001. Lycan also excelled in the classroom, earning ACC Honor Roll honors all four years of her playing career.
Lycan, who was a co-captain on the 2004 championship team, was the women's soccer representative for the Student Athlete Advisory Council while at Virginia. She also played for the Memphis Mercury, a semi-pro women's soccer league in the summer of 2002.
A 2005 graduate of University of Virginia, Lycan earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology. She currently holds the NSCAA Advanced National Diploma and the NSCAA Advanced National Goalkeeping Diploma, the highest goalkeeping certification from the NSCAA.
