Tyler Brown is in his third season as an assistant coach for Utah Tech women’s soccer in 2025.
In 2024, Brown helped the Trailblazers to a third-straight WAC Tournament appearance and a 5-7-5 record. Utah Tech opened Brown’s second season undefeated through the first five matches (3-0-2). The Trailblazer defense was much improved allowing 12 fewer goals than the previous season and posting three shutouts. UT took down rival Southern Utah, 4-0, on the road to earn its spot in the 2024 WAC Tournament. The team had four Trailblazers recognized by the WAC in its postseason awards: Gracie Knutzen and Lacy Fox were named Second Team All-WAC and Adele Faller and Bre Koscielski made the All-WAC Freshman Team.
After winning the 2023 season opener against South Dakota, 3-1, Utah Tech scored two or more goals in the next nine matches and improved its scoring output by six goals when compared to the prior year on its way to an 8-7-5 record, including a trip to the 2023 WAC Women’s Soccer Tournament. The team also had six players recognized by the WAC in its postseason awards: Gracie Knutzen and Brynlee Rider were All-WAC Second Team selections while Ella Rusick was named to the All-WAC Freshman team; Michelle Rodriguez, Emily Garbett and Tessa Thornton all received votes.
Brown was announced as a member of the women’s soccer coaching staff on July 20, 2023. A native of Spokane, Washington, Brown played collegiately at Utah Valley and brings a wealth of experience to the program. Brown, who is married to head coach Lexi Brown, spent the 2021 and 2022 seasons as an assistant women’s soccer coach at Eastern Washington.
He aided in the development of several All-Big Sky selections at EWU, including Kelsee Winston, who earned second team all-Big Sky honors after making 116 saves during the 2021 season, and Maddie Morgan, who tallied five goals and four assists to earn Big Sky Co-Offensive MVP and Co-Golden Boot accolades last season.
Prior to his time at Eastern Washington, Brown was a volunteer assistant coach with the women’s soccer program at Gonzaga. His duties included opponent scouting and assisting with the goalkeepers, and the Bulldog staff was named West Region Staff of the Year by the United Soccer Coaches College Services program for the 2020-21 season.
After playing his freshman season at the University of Massachusetts, Brown played two seasons at Utah Valley and was named to the WAC All-Academic team after his junior season.
Brown’s experience goes well beyond the United States, as he played club soccer in Germany, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, and also played in the 6th tier of German Soccer Landesliga as a semi-professional.
He also spent time coaching for Eastern Washington Surf, Super League and the Girls Academy, served as the Head Coach for Utah FC from 2015-17, and was the Director of Coaching for Inferno FC in Post Falls, Idaho in 2017.
