Peyton York enters her first season as an assistant coach for the Ball State soccer team in 2023.

York joins the Cardinals after spending the last four seasons at Mississippi State as a student assistant coach. In the spring of 2018, she mentored Katie Moore and Emily Samisch, as well as led goalkeeper workouts. Prior to becoming a student assistant, York was a member of the 2018 signing class.

The Prosper, Texas, native has a variety of volunteer coaching experience, including instruction at MSU soccer camps over two summers. She has coached in the youth recreation league in her hometown and offered private training sessions in the past. York has worked striker and goalkeeper camps for In the Box Soccer in Texas for three years as well as U.K. Elite Soccer Camps.

York arrived in Starkville after a standout career at Prosper High School where she collected 54 career shutouts in just three seasons, including 22 as a sophomore on her way to being named Co-Goalkeeper of the Year in 2015-16.

From Head Coach Josh Rife

"I'm excited to have Peyton join our staff. She has a great combination of high-level soccer experience and knowledge as well as genuine interest in developing the student-athlete as a whole. Not only will our goalkeepers benefit from being coached by Peyton, but our program as a whole will continue to be elevated with her joining our staff."
