Cerro Coso Community College added the newest Women's Soccer Head Coach, Stephen Jenkins to the program in the spring of 2021. Coach Jenkins will be responsible for returning the program to action following a year off due to COVID-19. In an opening statement Coach Jenkins has demonstrated gratitude for this opportunity stating, "I want to thank John McHenry and the hiring committee for giving me the opportunity to represent the Cerro Coso Community Coyotes! It is an honor and a privilege that I do not take for granted."

Jenkins spent the last two seasons as graduate assistant for the Cal State Bakersfield women's soccer program, working under coach Sebastian Vecchio. He helped the Roadrunners reach new heights on the pitch and in the classroom. 

Before his tenure with CSUB, Coach Jenkins was an assistant coach at Millikin University and Eisenhower High School in Decatur, Ill. At Eisenhower, he helped the Panthers to its winningest season. During his time at Millikin the team went 7-10-1, had 13 players on CCIW Academic All-Conference and one First Team All-Conference selection. Jenkins graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Waldorf University and a master's degree in public administration from CSU Bakersfield.

Coach Jenkins has hit the ground running this spring in preparation for summer conditioning beginning in July. The Coyotes open up the 2021 season on August 27, 2021 on the road at Reedley College (the entire schedule can be found at https://www.cosocoyotes.com/sports/wsoc/2021-22/schedule ). "I am very excited to build a strong soccer culture at Cerro Coso and that will begin with having our first fall season since 2019. This fall will be a foundation point for what's to come at Cerro Coso and I can not wait for the season to begin!"

Coyote Athletics would like to welcome Coach Stephen Jenkins, #MAKEYOURMARK
