UCCS women's soccer coach J.B. Belzer has appointed former players Jade Kinsey and Anne Louthan as volunteer assistant coaches for the 2026 season. Both alumni bring significant collegiate soccer experience and a passion for UCCS. Kinsey played from 2019-2023, contributing to an impressive team record, while Louthan participated in the 2022 season and made substantial contributions during her time at UCCS and beyond. Their coaching positions start this month, enhancing the program鈥檚 competitive edge.

By the Numbers

  • Louthan played 1,846 minutes in her lone season at UCCS, which ranks fifth all-time for a sophomore at the school.
Yes, But

While both coaches have had impressive playing careers, questions may arise regarding their transition to coaching roles. Their effectiveness in translating personal success into team development will be essential for the program鈥檚 growth.

State of Play
  • UCCS women's soccer is currently ranked #10 in the nation.
  • The team has made four NCAA Tournament appearances, reaching the quarterfinals and Sweet 16 in recent seasons.
What's Next

With Kinsey and Louthan stepping into their coaching roles, the Mountain Lions will focus on building towards their upcoming season, aiming to maintain or improve their current ranking and performance in NCAA competitions.

Bottom Line

The addition of Kinsey and Louthan to the coaching staff not only enriches UCCS鈥檚 women's soccer program with experienced mentors but also reinforces the importance of alumni involvement in contributing to the team's legacy and success.
