Kailey Egbert, who graduated in May of 2009 after an exceptional career for The College of Saint Rose women’s soccer team, returns for her 14th season as an assistant for head coach Laurie Darling Gutheil. She completed her Doctorate in physical therapy from Sage Graduate School in the spring of 2012.

Egbert, who was inducted into the Saint Rose Athletics Hall of Fame last fall, concluded her distinguished career in a Golden Knights uniform among the College’s top-15 in all three major scoring categories with 67 points, 25 goals and 17 assists.

The three-time team captain and two-time, All-Conference pick was chosen among a select group of student-athletes at all NCAA levels for an educational grant through the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship Program. Egbert was furthermore honored with the Northeast-10 Conference Woman of the Year Award at the league’s annual awards banquet in 2009. She was subsequently listed among a group of 30 student-athletes, at all NCAA levels and sports, to be chosen a national semifinalist for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award.

As a senior in 2008, Egbert had 18 points on seven goals and four assists for the Golden Knights who strung together an historic campaign. Saint Rose posted a 20-4-2 mark, set a school record with its 20 victories and became only the fourth team since 1985 to win back-to-back NE10 Championships. The Golden Knights furthermore earned their sixth NCAA Tournament berth within a seven year stretch and wound up as the nation’s fourth ranked team after winning the NCAA Tournament East Regional Championship that propelled them to a national semifinal appearance.
