I can't wait to see what she can do with our program. Out student-athletes will benefit from her as a leader on the pitch and in their lives. Her experience and connections to the community will allow our program to continue to propel forward in the conference. "I'm beyond excited to welcome Maddy into the Penguin family. Clark Women's Soccer is already an exceptional program with all the resources, and generous support from local clubs like Washington Timbers FC, to be a top tier women's soccer program and we will strive every day to make all the Clark supporters proud of who we are on and off the pitch, especially within the community. Thank you to Laura LeMasters and the rest of the search committee for entrusting me to lead this great program. This soccer program has such a tremendous reputation and tradition of excellence, and I cannot wait to join the team and build upon the foundation that has been set! I am certain, and all the credit to the previous coaches Sean Janson, Jeff Castagnola, Peter Pickett, Clark Women's Soccer Alumni, and Clark Athletics Administration that there is already a strong foundation, and we want to build on that and see if we can get this program to the next level, a NWAC title. Wright had this to say about her recent hiring, "I am humbled and honored to be chosen as the next Head Women's Soccer Coach at Clark College. Coaching is a big part of who I am as I feel my purpose in coaching has always been, wherever I coach, to lead young women into discovery of their true potential and purpose, to be a part of seeing strong, female leaders emerge from this next generation." When asked about how she integrates her schooling into coaching, Wright said, "I will always prioritize the players as people first before as a player. Originally hailing from Staten Island, NY, Wright graduated from Nyack College with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2015, and in pursuit of a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling. Locally she has coached at Washington Timbers FC, Vancouver Victory FC, Eastside Timbers FC, and Portland Thorns ODP.
