OSU release - CORVALLIS, Ore. – Paige Brandt has joined the Oregon State women's soccer coaching staff, Head Coach Caroline Kelly announced on Tuesday. "We're thrilled to welcome Paige to our staff. Her track record of developing goalkeepers speaks for itself, but it's her commitment to growth, education, and building a positive, competitive and team-oriented environment that truly sets her apart," Kelly said. "Paige brings a level of detail, purpose, and care to everything she does, and I know our goalkeepers—and our team as a whole—are going to benefit tremendously from her leadership." Brandt joins the Beavers after three seasons at WestCliff University in Irvine, Calif., where she designed and led all goalkeeper training sessions for the Warriors' nationally ranked NAIA program. She played a pivotal role in developing Kayli Cokley, who ranked No. 1 in the NAIA for goals against average (0.14) and No. 2 for save percentage (.938) during the 2024 season, helping the program to the second round of the NAIA National Tournament.

"I'm honored and incredibly excited to join the coaching staff at Oregon State," Brandt said. "This program is built on being competitive and team-centered, which makes OSU a fantastic fit for me both as a coach and as a person. I look forward to playing a role in its continued growth and am excited to get to work. Go Beavs!"
