Welcome to Gardner-Webb Women’s Soccer, Coach Samantha Thomsit! ⚽🐾

Coach Thomsit brings more than a decade of coaching experience and a proven track record of building successful programs both on and off the field. Most recently at Spring Hill College, she led one of the top turnarounds in women’s college soccer while helping student-athletes thrive competitively and academically.
