Kansas State Wildcats hire Colleen Corbin to take over as new women’s soccer coach
Kansas State has a new women’s soccer coach.
Colleen Corbin, a former coach of the year in the Mountain West, has been hired to take over the program by K-State athletic director Gene Taylor.
She will serve as the second coach in school history, replacing Mike Dibbini, who cited health reasons in stepping down last month.
Corbin has agreed to a five-year contract with the Wildcats after previously working at Wyoming and Saint Louis.
“We are thrilled to welcome Colleen to K-State as the new leader of our soccer program,” Taylor said in a statement. “She has a proven track record of building and leading a championship program as evidenced by her time at Wyoming, and her most recent tenure at Saint Louis allowed her the opportunity to grow even more as a coach and put her stamp on an already established and high-level program.”
Corbin spent this past season as the associate head coach at Saint Louis. During her time with the Billikens, Corbin helped the team to a 15-2-6 overall record, which included a 7-0-3 record in the Atlantic 10 and a conference championship, which earned her team a berth in the NCAA Tournament. The Billikens reached the second round of the tournament following a 1-0 win over Kansas.
Before that, Corbin was the head coach at Wyoming. She led that team to a shared conference title in 2022, which earned her Coach of the Year honors in the Mountain West.
“I am honored and thrilled to have the privilege of being named the next head coach of the Kansas State women’s soccer team,” Corbin said. “I want to personally thank Gene Taylor, Jill Shields and Matt Thomason for their commitment and intention throughout the hiring process, as well as their trust in me and their belief in the K-State soccer program. It is evident that there are resources in place to help K-State women’s soccer be successful, as well as an incredibly supportive community who is excited about our team and the opportunity for continued growth and success.”
