2022-23 MUSTANG SOCCER

Southwest Stories

All Mustangs have a story. Hear why these Mustangs chose SMSU!

“I chose SMSU because of its academic opportunities as well as its competitive soccer program. I also really liked the small campus and class sizes.“

HALEY MASON ’26 FORWARD

PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR CHEMISTRY & BIOLOGY MINORS CHIPPEWA FALLS, WI

“SMSU is my home away from home to me. Everyone is driven and motivated to do well on campus, which is an environment that I really looked for. I wouldn’t have chosen any other place to start my journey in life.“

SANDRA KRALING ’26

DEFENDER

BIOLOGY MAJOR ROCHESTER, MN

“I love the environment that the coach and team has created and it was something that I knew I wanted to be a part of. I also love the competitive conference we play in.“

SYDNEY JOHNSON ’25 FORWARD

FINANCE MAJOR MAPLE GROVE, MN

“I love the size of the campus and how everything is so close. A big thing for me when looking for a school so far from home was the environment and being where I felt welcomed. The staff and athletic department at SMSU were so welcoming from the moment you step on campus, and I can’t thank them enough!“

Facilities

MUSTANG SOCCER LOCKER ROOM

SCHWAN REGIONAL EVENT CENTER

Home to Southwest Minnesota State football and women’s soccer, Mattke Field at the Schwan Regional Event Center, has emerged as the premiere outdoor event facility in southwestern Minnesota. It has served as the home for SMSU football and women’s soccer since 2008. The Regional Event Center is a bowl-shaped venue that seats approximately 2,500 people on a mixture of chairback, bench and terraced seating.

MARSHALL REGIONAL TRACK & FIELD COMPLEX

The official groundbreaking for the Marshall Regional Track & Field complex was on April 14, 2014. The complex is located on the northeast corner of the SMSU campus and is a renovation and expansion of the existing Mattke Field stadium. The project is a partnership with SMSU and Marshall Schools. The Track & Field Complex also acts as a practice facility for women’s soccer.

SMSU WEIGHT ROOM

The Southwest Minnesota State weight room, renovated with new equipment in 2018, gives Mustang student-athletes some of the best facilities in the region. The 4,059 square foot facility, which was built in 1996, added more space which greatly enhanced the amount of work stations available, allowing more intense lifting periods

DON PALM NATATORIUM

Don Palm Natatorium is located in the Physical Education building and is accessed through the men’s and women’s locker rooms. The competition pool is 25 yds x 6 lanes. The diving well has a 1 meter diving board (installed 2008) and 3 meter diving board (installed 2019). The facility went through a complete renovation in the summer of 2022 making it one of the best on-campus facilities in the upper Midwest. Don Palm Natatorium is home to our SMSU women’s swimming and diving team.

FROM HEAD COACH

Clay Glasgow

Thank you for your interest in Southwest Minnesota State University! I am very excited about the future of the Mustang Women’s soccer program and eager for you to be a part of it. The SMSU community provides you with support in and out of the classroom. On the field, we help each student become their best self. We build our team off the field by volunteering in the community and learning about the importance of service. We create an environment where student-athletes want to compete every day and be the best in every aspect of their lives.

Every day, we strive for commitment and optimism. We bring positive energy, fuel creativity, and stay accountable. My goal is to bring the program to the top of the NCAA D2 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.

The academic factor – We are strongly committed to developing leaders in the classroom and within the community. Our team’s GPA goal is to maintain a cumulative 3.4 GPA or higher. We are committed to the success of each studentathlete.

Our culture is all about family – As your coach, my goal is to create a positive team culture where players have a family away from home. I strive to build not only a winning team but also a family in which everyone respects and cares for each other on and off the field. As a family, we hold each other accountable to play at our very best, this accountability pushes us to get better every, driving our desire to win and perform at our highest level.

Playing time – Here at SMSU, you have an awesome opportunity as an incoming player to jump in and play immediately; I know this is a priority for many players. If your goals are to be a winner and be part of a supportive team, then Southwest Minnesota State University is the right place for you.

ASSISTANT COACH ABBEY

My name is Abbey Hoisington. I am originally from Aldie, Virginia. I played on the women’s soccer team at SMSU from 2018-2022 and finished my soccer career with 16 goals, 12 assists, and 5 game-winning goals. I was named All-NSIC second team in 2019 and ALLNSIC Academic team in 2022 and was also NSIC “player to watch” in 2019 and 2021. SMSU has been my home away from home since I was a freshman, and I am excited to have this coaching opportunity at SMSU!”
