Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State women’s soccer coach Travis Sobers had a vacancy on his staff this offseason. And when Krystle Seidel contacted him to apply for the job, he wasn’t sure whether it was a legit call or not.
“I thought, ‘Is somebody pranking me?’ I wanted to make sure this was right,” he said with a laugh.
“Normally, our assistant is someone just getting into the game and wants to learn what it takes at the Division-I level. They stay a couple years and move on. To get someone with her experience, it rarely comes across your desk.”
Seidel was the head coach at Division III Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn, from 2018-21. She was on the staff at Minnesota for nine years before that, climbing to associate head coach.
She reached the NCAA Sweet 16 as a player and an assistant with the Gophers.
She was looking to stay in coaching in the region and was set to take the Cincinnati Ursuline job this fall. But she changed directions when the Raiders lost their assistant to another school.
