Nicole Van Dyke, former head coach at Cal State Bakersfield, was named an assistant at Stanford Monday.
Van Dyke replaced Theresa Wagner, who took the head position at Dartmouth.
Van Dyke has coached the Roadrunners for the past five seasons, following a stint at Cal State Stanislaus from 2003-05.
“Nicole is an excellent coach with Division I head coaching experience,” Stanford coach Paul Ratcliffe said. “She will bring great energy to our program.”
Van Dyke’s responsibilities at Cal State Bakersfield included overseeing a five-year transition from NCAA Division II to Division I, and compiled a 27-55-13 record as an independent.
Last year, the Roadrunners beat one NCAA tournament team, Sacramento State, while playing to a tie against San Diego and Fresno State.
“I am ecstatic about the opportunity of working at such a prestigious academic institution and am excited about the future that Stanford brings me both professionally and personally,” Van Dyke said. “Becoming part of the Stanford soccer tradition is not only exciting but also humbling.”
