Eva Bergsten Meredith was appointed as the faculty head coach of women's soccer at
Wesleyan for the 2004 season and will be in her fifth season in 2008.
After serving as
interim head coach of women's lacrosse at Wesleyan during the 2000
spring season, Holly Wheeler enters her ninth year as a full-time
physical education faculty member and head coach of women's lacrosse.
She had served as head women's soccer coach from 2000 through 2003 but
assumed assistant coaching chores in 2004. A 1999 graduate of Princeton University, Holly was a starting defender
in lacrosse for the perennial national Division I power Tigers.
Princeton captured two Ivy League titles and qualified for the NCAA
Division I tournament three times between 1996 and 1999. Holly also has
been active at lacrosse camps each summer since 1996 and founded and
directs The Lacrosse School at Wesleyan. Holly was a standout schoolgirl
soccer player during her days at Weston (Mass.) High School. At Weston,
she was a team captain (soccer, basketball, lacrosse) and all-league
performer (in all those sports too) while also playing for the Charles
River United U-17 club team and qualifying for a high-school all-star
team that toured England, Scotland and Ireland. Holly, who led
Wesleyan's women's lacrosse team to a best-ever 9-6 record in 2004, and
another nine-win campaign in 2006 (9-8), is currently
enrolled in Wesleyan's Master of Arts in Liberal
Studies Program. Holly holds the rank of adjunct assistant
professor of physical education at Wesleyan.
In his 13th season of
assisting with Wesleyan's women's soccer team, Bill Dudzik is a 1980 graduate of Post College and was head
girls soccer coach at Vinal Tech in Middletown, Conn. for
five years before coming aboard at Wesleyan. He also
directed a U-19 premiere outdoor team in Middletown for
seven years and a U-19 Oakwood premiere indoor team for
four years. He gained valuable playing experience himself
during his stint in the Navy between 1968 and 1972. Bill
works full-time as a design coordinator for a local
granite/marble company.
A newcomer to the women's soccer coaching staff in 2008, Matt Micros
served as head coach at Post University, leading the Eagles to a
first-ever conference tournament appearance and their first-ever
post-season (ECAC) tournament bid. He moved on to Quinnipiac
University where he served as an assistant coach in 2007. Matt is
co-founder of the Connecticut Football Club (CFC), one of the top-20
premier soccer clubs for girls in the nation. He handles the CFC
United, the highest youth level in the club but will take over both the
CFC Passion which competes in the Northeast Division of the W League,
and the CFC United U-18 squad next summer. In his seven years of
premier coaching, Matt has led teams to eight State Cup Championships,
reached two regional finals and four regional semi-finals. Matt
also has six years of ODP coaching experience in Connecticut, directing
the U-14 Connecticut squad to the region I finals in 2002 and the
national finals in 2003. Along with his college, premier and ODP
activity, Matt had a stint coaching Immaculate High School in Danbury
where he received both conference and area Coach of the Year honors. His
2003 squad captured the class S state title. Matt is a graduate of
the University of Notre Dame.
