Tyler Brown completed his first season as an assistant coach at Utah Tech in 2023, helping the team to an 8-7-5 record that included a trip to the 2023 WAC Women’s Soccer Tournament.
After winning the season opener against South Dakota, 3-1, Utah Tech with two or more goals scored in nine matches and improved its scoring output by six goals when compared to the prior year. The team also had six players recognized by the WAC in its postseason awards: Gracie Knutzen and Brynlee Rider were All-WAC Second Team selections while Ella Rusick was named to the All-WAC Freshman team; Michelle Rodriguez, Emily Garbett and Tessa Thornton all received votes.
Brown was announced as a member of the women’s soccer coaching staff on July 20, 2023. A native of Spokane, Wash., he played collegiately at Utah Valley and brings a wealth of experience to the program. Brown, who is married to head coach Lexi Brown, spent the previous two seasons as an assistant women’s soccer coach at Eastern Washington.
He aided in the development of several All-Big Sky selections at EWU, including Kelsee Winston, who earned second team all-Big Sky honors after making 116 saves during the 2021 season, and Maddie Morgan, who tallied five goals and four assists to earn Big Sky Co-Offensive MVP and Co-Golden Boot accolades last season.
Prior to his time at Eastern Washington, Brown was a volunteer assistant coach with the women’s soccer program at Gonzaga. His duties included opponent scouting and assisting with the goalkeepers, and the Bulldog staff was named West Region Staff of the Year by the United Soccer Coaches College Services program for the 2020-21 season.
After playing his freshman season at the University of Massachusetts, Brown played two seasons at Utah Valley and was named to the WAC All-Academic team after his junior season.
Brown’s experience goes well beyond the United States, as he played club soccer in Germany, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, and also played in the 6th tier of German Soccer Landesliga as a semi-professional.
