Chad Webb enters his 14th season at the helm of the WT women’s soccer program having led the Lady Buffs to five Lone Star Conference Championships, four NCAA Tournament appearances and one regional title. 

2022 saw Webb take the Lady Buffs to the national tournament once again. WT earned the No. 3 seed in the conference tournament and defeated St. Edward's 2-1 at The Pitch. The Lady Buffs saw its conference title hopes slip away as they fell to seventh-seeded Midwestern State 2-1 in the semifinals. WT prepared for the NCAA tournament, entering as the fourth seed in the South Central Region. The Lady Buffs outlasted St. Mary's for a 2-1 win in Dallas, advancing to the second round. At that point, WT couldn't keep up with top-seeded and No. 1-nationally DBU, falling 2-0. After the season concluded, Asha James earned LSC Midfielder of the Year and Maria-Frances Serrant picked up LSC Forward of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, and Player of the Year. The duo went on to be named First Team All-Region by the D2CCA and United Soccer Coaches. James and Serrant became the program's eighth and ninth All-Americans as James earned D2CCA Second Team and Serrant was awarded Third Team. 

The Lady Buffs earned the fourth seed in the 2021 LSC tournament, opening with a 3-2 overtime win over St. Mary's. WT's conference tournament came to an end against top-seeded and No. 6-nationally DBU in the semifinal round. Hannah Kelley-Lusk continued to add honors to her legacy as she became the first player in program history to earn three specialty awards in the same season when the LSC named Kelley-Lusk the LSC Player of the Year, Forward of the Year, and Academic Player of the Year.  She then went on to be named the D2CCA Region Player of the Year before picking up the 2021 Ron Lenz Player of the Year award. Kelley-Lusk finished out her postseason awards when she was named the Division II CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year.  

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, WT played the 2020 season in the spring of 2021. THe Lady Buffs finished with a 6-4-0 overall record and a 4-1-0 mark in LSC play. The Lady Buffs earned the No. 2 seed in the LSC Tournament where they fell to No. 1 DBU in the semifinals. Seven Lady Buffs picked up All-LSC honors including Hannah Kelley-Lusk being named Forward of the Year and Asha James picking up Newcomer of the Year honors.

Hannah Kelley-Lusk earned 1st Team All-Conference honors after scoring a team-high 10 goals and 25 points.  He won his 100th career game on the final day of regular season with a 4-0 victory over UT Permian Basin.

WT had one of its best years in program history in 2018 under Webb as they won the program’s eighth Lone Star Conference regular season title along with winning their first South Central Regional Championship since 2009. The Lady Buffs went 14 games unbeaten, a program record, en route to finishing 15-4-3, 10-1-1 in LSC play, earning the No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. After defeating UC-Colorado Springs in penalties in the regional semifinals, WT defeated DBU on penalties (5-4) a week later in Canyon for their first regional title in close to a decade. Hannah Kelley-Lusk earned United Soccer Coaches Third Team All-American Honors after scoring nine goals, including four game-winners, to go along with her team-high six assists. Cheyenne Orozco was named the Lone Star Conference Defensive Player of the Year after anchoring a defense that allowed 0.86 goals per game.

In 2017, WT returned to the NCAA postseason after winning the Lone Star Conference Tournament over top-seeded Angelo State in San Angelo. They would defeat the Rambelles a week later in the opening round of the NCAA tournament before falling to No. 2 seed UC-Colorado Springs in the semifinals. 

The Lady Buffs won their second regular season Lone Star Conference title in 2016 in program history sharing the honors with Texas A&M-Commerce. Under Webb’s guidance, WT finished with a 11-6-0 record, 9-3-0 in LSC play, including a eight match winning streak. The 11 wins are the second most during his tenure. He was named LSC Coach of the Year for the second time while senior midfielder Karyn Forbes was named Midfielder of the Year. 

WT finished the 2015 campaign with a record of 10-10-1 leading the team to their second LSC Championship match in the past three seasons. They defeated two top-25 teams during the season including a 1-0 triumph over #4 Angelo State in the LSC semifinals. Webb earned his 50th career victory during the 2015 season with a 2-0 victory over Lubbock Christian on Oct. 28, 2016.

In the fall of 2014, the Lady Buffs finished the year with a 7-11 mark overall. The year prior, going into the final weekend of the regular season in 2013, Webb led the Lady Buffs to two big Lone Star Conference wins to make the LSC Tournament as the #4 seed. WT opened up the tournament with a 1-0 victory over the host, #1 seed Angelo State, before falling to Midwestern State in the Championship game in PKs.

Webb guided the Lady Buffs to an outstanding season in 2012 as the team went 13-7-1, winning both the regular season and conference tournament championships en route to the NCAA Tournament for the first time under Webb and first since 2009. Following the season, Webb was named LSC Coach of the Year and Panhandle Sports Soccer Coach of the Year.

The 2011 campaign saw the Lady Buffs fight through numerous season ending injuries to make their 14th appearance in the LSC Tournament as the #6 seed. WT topped Eastern New Mexico in the Quarterfinals before falling to Midwestern State in OT to end their season with a 9-10-1 overall record.

2010 saw the Lady Buffs register an 8-7-3 overall record and finish seventh in the LSC standings with a 4-6-1 mark, missing the conference tournament by one spot. 

Before taking control of the Lady Buffs in 2010, Webb had been an assistant coach with the women’s soccer program for 13 seasons, where his main responsibilities revolved around the everyday operations and coaching of the program. He handled the bulk of the recruiting duties for the Lady Buffs, while also assisting with the Buffalo men’s team, as well.

The Lady Buffs enjoyed a very successful 2009 campaign, as they advanced to the Elite Eight for the first time in school history and recorded a 15-3-4 overall record. WT hosted both the LSC Tournament and NCAA Preliminary Rounds for the second consecutive season and won its second-consecutive LSC regular-season championship, as well as winning the NCAA South Central Region Championship.

The Lady Buffs have won either the LSC regular-season or LSC Tournament title nine times since 1997. They won both titles in 2001 and 2008. And, during 2001, the Lady Buffs made their first-ever NCAA Division-II National Tournament appearance. WT has won a conference leading six LSC Tournament Championships and made 17 appearances in the single elimination field with 12 appearances in the finals.

Following a brilliant four-year playing career with the Buffs, Webb served one season as a student assistant under Butch Lauffer before serving another four seasons as a graduate assistant. During his playing career with the Buffaloes, from 1992-1995, Webb scored 10 goals and provided 20 assists while also serving as the Buffs’ captain. As a junior, he earned a berth on the second-team Adidas all-West Region Academic list.

Webb, a native of Lubbock, Texas, holds a USSF “A” license, has been active in the community as the Director of Coaching for Amarillo Lightning and enjoys developing youth soccer talent in the Texas Panhandle. He conducts many soccer camps and clinics throughout the area each year, and, in 2002, was named Coach of the Year for the North Texas State Soccer Association.

He earned both his bachelor’s (1998) and master’s (2002) degrees in Mass Communication from WTAMU.
