Meghan Gill is in her second season as the head coach of the Senators Women's Soccer program.
Gill, who became the fifth head coach in the 17-year history of the program, took over a team that went 14-4 in 2015, including a Great Midwest Athletic Conference Regular Season Championship. With high expectations, Gill bested that mark by leading the Senators to the 2016 Great Midwest Athletic Conference Championship and the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament berth.
Gill came to Elkins after serving as the assistant coach for Columbia (Mo.) College's soccer programs over the last four seasons. She spent the last two seasons as the primary assistant coach after spending her first two seasons as the graduate assistant coach.
She joined the Cougars women's program for their inaugural season in 2012. During that span, she helped guide Columbia to 55 wins, along with three AMC Regular Season championships, two AMC Tournament Championships, and three NAIA National Tournament Appearances.
Gill was recognized before the 2015 season as one of 15 women by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America in the 30 under 30 program, designated for the top up-and-coming coaches in the game.
The Lock Haven, Pa. native also worked with the men's program in Columbia, as they also tallied 55 wins during the span with an AMC regular season championship. The Cougars had a pair of trips to the NAIA National Tournament, reaching the Sweet 16 and the Elite 8.
Prior to her move to Missouri, Gill spent five years in State College, Pa. as a midfielder and defender for the Nittany Lions under head coach Erica Dambach. Gill, who was a part of five consecutive Big Ten regular season championship teams, made 42 appearances in her career, scoring three goals and recording two assists. She was a three time Academic All-Big Ten recipient and took home second team all-conference honors during her sophomore year in 2008.
Gill holds an United Soccer Coaches Advanced National Diploma and earned her Premier Diploma in 2016. In 2017 she went on to earn her USSF D license. She has also worked major Division I camps at Penn State, Missouri and Virginia.
A graduate of Penn State in 2012, Gill earned her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Accounting. She also obtained a Master's in Business Administration degree from Columbia College in 2013.
