Joe DeMay has resigned as head women's soccer coach at the University of Sioux Falls after a record-breaking first season. Under his leadership, the Cougars achieved significant milestones, including new program records for goals, assists, and shutouts. DeMay is leaving to accept a coaching education role with US Soccer in Atlanta, reflecting on his fulfilling time at USF and the talented student-athletes he’s leaving behind. The 2025 season was particularly memorable for setting multiple program records, showcasing both offensive and defensive strength.

By the Numbers
  • USF achieved a 6-10-2 record with a 4-2-2 home mark during the 2025 season.
  • The Cougars set records for 21 goals, 69 corner kicks, and established benchmarks for fewest goals against in a season.
Yes, But

Despite the success, the program faces the challenge of transitioning to a new head coach in Andy Janssen, which may impact the team's momentum moving forward.

State of Play
  • Andy Janssen has been appointed as the new head coach, starting May 1.
  • The Cougars have solidified a strong foundation, making it imperative to maintain momentum in the upcoming seasons.
What's Next

Looking ahead, the team will seek to build on DeMay’s legacy under Janssen, focusing on developing talent and competitive strategies to enhance future performance.

Bottom Line

The successful transition in coaching roles will be crucial for the Cougars to sustain their achievements and capitalize on the groundwork laid by DeMay during his impactful tenure.
