One of the top goalkeepers in NCAA Division I history, Mikayla Krzeczowski joined head coach Aimee Haywood's first App State women's soccer staff in January 2022.

In her second season, Krzeczowski aided the Mountaineers to a 9-6-3 record, the most overall wins since 2018. Working mostly with the goalkeepers, App State posted a program-record eight shutouts, and graduated Kerry Eagleston finished her career as the active leader in goalie minutes played and saves at the end of the 2023 regular season. 

In her first season, Krzeczowski helped the Mountaineers to a 5-5 record in the Sun Belt, more than doubling the Mountaineers conference win total from 2021. App State posted six shutouts, as senior Kerry Eagleston moved into third place in program history with 18 career shutouts and 349 career saves. 

She began her coaching career on Haywood's Queens University (Charlotte, N.C.) staff in 2021. Working with the goalkeepers, she helped mentor a Royals defense that allowed just 12 goals in 22 matches on their way to a second-round berth in the NCAA Division II Championships.

As a four-year starter in goal for South Carolina, Krzeczowski finished her 89-match career with 50 clean sheets, the third-most in NCAA women's soccer history and the most in SEC history. Her career goals-against average was an SEC-record 0.45, the eighth-best in NCAA women's soccer history.

In addition to being named a 2019 All-American by the United Soccer Coaches and ESPNW, Krzeczowski was named the first SEC Goalkeeper of the Year in 2019 and was named All-SEC four times in her Gamecocks career, including three first-team honors.

She helped South Carolina win SEC regular-season championships in 2016 and 2017 and an SEC tournament championship in 2019.

She earned a bachelor's degree in visual communications from South Carolina and was named a Scholar All-American in 2019.

After her collegiate career, Krzeczowski played professionally during the 2021 season with FC Jumonji Ventus in Tokyo, Japan. In addition to coaching at Queens, she has also served as a youth soccer coach with the Charlotte Soccer Academy following her time in Japan.
