Stephanie Cradduck was named the head coach of PBA women's soccer in January of 2024.

“I am honored and humbled for the opportunity to develop Christian Game-Changers within the women’s soccer program, and I look forward to building a culture of excellence here in West Palm Beach,” Cradduck said. “I want to thank Courtney Lovely Evans, TJ Budd, and the search committee for their trust and belief in me to lead this team into a new era of Sailfish women’s soccer.”

“From the moment I stepped on campus, I felt at home,” Cradduck said. “I was impressed by the passion and genuine care for the women’s soccer program and our student-athletes. It is clear PBA is a special place, and I’m beyond thankful the Lord has graciously allowed me to be a part of it. Go Sailfish!”
