JACKSON, MS- Amanda Paschall has announced her resignation as head coach of the Millsaps Majors women's soccer team. 

Paschall will be pursuing a new opportunity as Health and Well-Being Director for the Tacoma Center YMCA in Tacoma, Washington. 

"I am sad to leave Millsaps, a place that has nurtured me as a student and employee," Paschall said. "I will also miss the group of young women I have had the pleasure to coach over the last 3 years. I am excited for the new experiences and opportunities in Washington."

Paschall played for the Majors from 2003-2007 and was head coach for the past three seasons. During her tenure, Paschall was named a "30 Under 30" coach by the National Soccer Coaches' Association of America. 

"We wish Amanda nothing but the best in her future," Athletics Director Josh Brooks said. "She is an alum and will always be part of the Millsaps Majors' family." 

Millsaps has started a national search for Coach Paschall's successor. In the meantime, Millsaps men's soccer coach Steve Voltz has been named interim women's soccer coach.  Coach Voltz can be contacted at 205-261-9514 and at voltzs@millsaps.edu.
