Taylor Borman enters her second season as an assistant coach under Kim McGowan after joining the staff, August 2022.

Borman works with defenders and goalkeepers and helped coach a Governors’ defensive unit that posted six shutouts last season.

With the help of Borman’s coaching, Chloé Dion posted a career year in the net. Dion’s six shutouts in 2022 were the fourth-most by a goalkeeper in program history while her 1.18 goals-against average was the seventh-best mark by an APSU goalkeeper.

In addition to her work on Austin Peay’s defense, Borman also serves as the recruiting coordinator and helped bring in the Governors’ nine-man 2023 class. 

Borman spent two seasons (2020-21) at Georgia State as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator under head coach Ed Joyce. During her time in Atlanta, the Panthers combined for a 19-7-9 record, including a 10-3-2 mark in 2020 – the most wins by the program since 1998. In the 2020 season, Broman helped coach five student-athletes to All-Sun Belt Conference selections, the most in program history.

Prior to her time at Georgia State, Borman spent two seasons (2018-19) at Alabama State as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator under Jodie Smith. During her time in Montgomery, Alabama, the Hornets won 12 matches and had three players named to All-Southwestern Athletic Conference teams.

Borman got her first assistant coaching position in 2017 at UNC Ashville where she worked with the Bulldogs' offense, primarily the forwards.

During her playing career, Borman was a two-time First Team All-Southern Conference selection at Samford. She is third in career assists and eighth points in program history with 23 and 53, respectively. 

In her junior season, Borman’s nine assists ranked ninth in the country, and she was named to the SoCon All-Tournament Team after helping lead Samford to the tournament’s semifinals

A Georgetown, Kentucky native, Borman was a Kentucky Miss Soccer and Gatorade Player of the Year finalist as a senior at Scott County High School in 2012 after finishing with 32 goals and a state-record and national-best 46 assists. 

Borman finished her prep career with 107 goals, 93 assists, four all-region, and three all-state selections.
