Mallory Sayre was the sixth head women's soccer coach in UWG program history in January of 2023. Sayre, who has been at Georgia Southern for the past two seasons, becomes the sixth head coach in the history of the UWG soccer program.

A former goalkeeper, Sayre has been an assistant coach for nine seasons, including experience in all three levels of NCAA soccer.

Sayre has been instrumental in Georgia Southern's defensive unit, as the Eagles gave up just 12 goals in 2022 and only two in Sun Belt Conference play as they went 8-4-5, capturing a regular season Sun Belt title. The Eagles' 0.71 goals against average was a new school record, and the team notched eight shutouts. In 2023, the Eagles improved to a 12-win season.  

Before her successful two-year stint at Georgia Southern, Sayre was an assistant coach at Gulf South Conference rival Alabama Huntsville for two seasons. In 2021, the Chargers' goalkeepers allowed just one goal per game under Sayre's tutelage.

Prior to her time at UAH, Sayre spent five seasons at Division III Oglethorpe, where she was responsible for the team's goalkeepers and defenders while also handling administrative duties with recruiting and travel.

As a player, Sayre put together a legendary career at North Georgia, amassing a 56-17-4 career record in goal and notching a Peach Belt Conference-best 27 career shutouts and a 0.97 goals against average.

Sayre graduated from UNG with a bachelor's degree in physical education in 2016 and completed a master's degree in physical education at UNG in 2018.
