Colleen Corbin

  • Title
    Head Coach
Colleen enters her third season as head coach of the Cowgirls’ soccer program. She guided Wyoming to a Mountain West Conference regular-season title during Year 2, ending with an 8-6-6 overall record, which included a 6-3-2 league mark.

Corbin’s second year with the program was a memorable one, as she was named the Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year. The Cowgirls shared the conference’s regular-season crown for the second time in program history and advanced to the conferment tournament title game for the third time in school history. The regular season featured a team record four come-from-behind victories, three of which had the go-ahead goal scored during the 88th minute or later. Corbin wasn’t the only Cowgirl to reel in accolades. Jamie Tatum was named MW Offensive Player of the Year, while Alyssa Bedard and Alyssa Glover were named First-Team All-MW and All-Newcomer Team, respectively.

Corbin’s inaugural season at Wyoming – the fall 2021 season – ended with an 8-10-1 overall record, which matched the most wins by a first-year head coach in school history. The Cowgirls’ 3-0-0 start to the season represented the best start in school history. Wyoming netted six goals in a 6-1 win over Nevada (10/17/21), and that marked the most goals scored against a Mountain West Conference foe in program history. The five-goal margin of victory over the Wolf Pack was the largest against a league opponent, as well. In that victory, six different Cowgirls found the back of the net, matching the most against a MWC team and representing the second-most goal scorers ever in a game.

Prior to Wyoming, Corbin was an assistant coach at several different stops. She was the associate head coach at James Madison from 2018-20, an assistant coach at Arizona State for the 2016 season and an assistant coach at CSU-Northridge from 2014-15. 

With the Dukes, Corbin helped them win a 2018 Colonial Athletic Conference regular-season championship with a league record of 7-1-1. She coached the JMU goalkeepers who led the league in shutouts, which included Hannah McShea setting the program record for a junior with seven solo shutouts in a single season. McShea was named second-team All-CAA that season. Over Corbin’s three years, James Madison boasted a CAA record of 12-8-3.

In Corbin’s one season with the Sun Devils, the team went 6-11-2. The summer of 2016 was highlighted by Corbin being named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America 30 under 30 program.

Corbin began her coaching career at CSU-Northridge. She helped the Matadors combine for 13 shutouts in her two seasons. CSUN went a combined 8-6-2 in Big West Conference play in Corbin’s two seasons with the team.

Corbin played collegiately at Oregon State where she was a two-time All-American at goalkeeper. She holds the school record for most shutouts and goals-against average. In her final two seasons with the Beavers, the team went a combined 31-9-4 with one NCAA Tournament appearance that included one victory. Corbin attained a bachelor’s degree in education in 2012.

Following her collegiate days, Corbin played professional soccer for a couple seasons. She played for the Western New York Flash of the Women’s Premier Soccer League and helped them to a league championship. Corbin also played for the Boston Breakers of the National Women’s Soccer League.

Corbin is a native of La Canada, California. She’s married to her husband, Nick, the Director of Event Management and Game Operations at Wyoming.
