COLUMBUS, Miss. -  The W Athletic has announced that Valerie Greer has assumed the duties of interim women's soccer head coach for the upcoming 2026 season. Greer served as the Owls' assistant coach in 2025.

"We are thankful for Coach Greer's willingness to step into this role to ensure the continuity of the team in terms of both returning players and recruits," MUW Director of Athletics Buddy Foster said. "Obviously, having to fill a vacancy so late in the year made it nearly impossible to conduct a proper coaching search, given the season is just around the corner. But I am confident that Coach Greer's established relationships and familiarity will benefit the program."

A national search to fill the position will be conducted after the upcoming 2026 campaign.
