KELLEY GUTH
Position: Head Coach • Experience: 15th Season Career Record: 99-143-23 • Alma Mater: Florida State, 1996 Entering her 14th season, Kelley Guth remains the only head coach in Austin Peay women’s soccer history. After overseeing the best four-year stretch in school history that saw Austin Peay athletes earn 13 All-OVC honors, an OVC Offensive Player of the Year and OVC Freshman of the Year award, culminating in a 48-27-5 mark and two OVC Championship match appearances, Guth turns the page on a new chapter in Austin Peay soccer history. The 2013 season, which ended with a top-four OVC Tournament finish for the third time in four seasons, saw the graduations of Tatiana and Natalia Ariza, Andy and Joceline Quiceno and others that will be tough to replace. The 2012 season was highlighted by Austin Peay’s second OVC Championship match appearance in three seasons. Tatiana Ariza won Austin Peay’s first OVC Player of the Year honor, and the Lady Govs finished second in league play. That helped erase the eighth-place finish Austin Peay earned during an injury-plagued 2011 campaign. Guth’s 2010 team was sparked by Freshman of the Year Tatiana Ariza, along with first-team pick Natalia Ariza and second-team selection Joceline Quiceno. Those three freshman, along with a nationally-ranked defense, set the tone for undoubtedly the most successful Lady Govs soccer team in program history. After appearing in the OVC tournament twice previously, the 2010 season was a breath of fresh air for Guth. Her pedigree on the pitch as both a player and coach has always been above reproach, which is why her team’s recent success was so important to the program after winning only one game during an injury-plagued 2009 season. Her coaching career began at Florida State University High School in 1997, where she coached for three seasons. While coaching at FSU High School, she also played in the W-League, a national amateur league, for the Fort Collins Force. With the Force, Guth received all-tournament honors as well as player of the week honors twice, as the Force took home the 1998 W-League championship. Guth also played for the Florida State women’s club team and was named women’s open division MVP of the National Intramural-Recreation Sports Association. Guth received her initial Division I soccer coaching opportunity with Ohio Valley Conference member Southeast Missouri under her former FSU head coach Heather Nelson. As an assistant coach in 2000 and 2001, Guth was in charge of recruiting, academic oversight of student-athletes as well as overseeing all travel arrangements while assisting in practice with all positions on the field. Guth’s inaugural season with the Lady Govs was indeed a challenge, finishing 0-13-3; the team scored only nine goals. However, the Lady Govs steadily improved during their second season, posting five wins and 25 goals. In 2004, the Lady Govs continued to mature on the field under Guth’s guidance. After a rough start, they finished strong with a conference victory at Murray State. The Lady Govs posted the program’s best record yet, 8-9-2 overall and 1-6-1 in the league, scoring 29 goals. Two years later, in 2006, the Lady Govs went 5-4 in league play, before hitting a two-year OVC slump. The 2008 season was particularly frustrating as the Lady Govs drop eight one-goal matches. Guth began her collegiate soccer career at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C., where she led her squad as a two-time NAIA first-team All-America selection and twice selected conference player of the year. In 1993, her first season with the Clan, Guth was an NAIA All-America honorable mention. She improved her second season as the Clan claimed a conference championship and she collected first-team All-America honors. In 1995, she again received first-team All-America honors, while Simon Fraser placed fifth in the NAIA national tournament. In 1996, she transferred for one season at Florida State University and left her mark in those record books as well. In one season, Guth scored 14 goals, including six game-winners which are third-most all-time at FSU. Her accomplishments as a player and coach continued to be recognized as she was inducted into the Delta (British Columbia) Sports Hall of Fame, in June 2004. Guth was one of 10 inductees into the inaugural class, selected from a group of 60. In March 2009, Guth was appointed as the OVC’s representative for the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). Guth currently resides in Clarksville with her husband Matt.
