n 2020-2021, Shaun Soderling began his 1st campaign as head coach of Brescia University Women’s Soccer. Soderling comes to Brescia from the NCAA Division II’s Alderson Broaddus University as the recruiting coordinator for the men's team and a scout for the women's team. The Battlers had numerous GMAC championships and runner-up finishes during Soderling's time there, including being ranked 16th in the nation in 2015.
Soderling has helped Brescia see an improvement after going 0-11 in the 2020 COVID season through a focus on developing the current roster and a agressive recruiting strategy that saw Brescia not only win their first River States Conference match in 2021, but a dramatic decrease in goals allowed.
Prior to Alderson Broaddus, Soderling was the Director of Operations for the men's soccer team at the University of Evansville. During his time at the NCAA Division I university, he operated the team's networking efforts, coordinated community service opportunities for the elementary schools in the area, and assisted in the daily operation of team activities.

As the assistant girls' varsity coach and head girls' JV coach at Henderson County High school in 2007, Soderling was tasked with developing the junior varsity players and designing training sessions for the varsity team, among helping guide the Lady Colonels Varsity team to win the district championship that season. At North Knox High school, Soderling served as the varsity girls head coach, coaching the team to its first multiple win season and program's first sectional victory. In addition to his collegiate and high school experience, Soderling has many years of club coaching experience that spans back to 2003. He has most recently coached the Indiana Fire Juniors South.
