2017 MICHIGAN STATE SPARTANS

HEAD COACHTOMSAXTON27TH SEASONSAXTON SPOTLIGHT:1994- First conference Big Ten Coach of the Year Award winner, Spartans win program’s only Big Ten Championship2000- Big Ten Coach of the Year 2002- First NCAA Tournament appearanceRECORDS- Saxton has coached all 10 of the career leaders in goals and assists leaders at MSU

Entering his 27th season as head coach of the Michigan State women’s soccer program, Tom Saxton has spent more than half of his life involved in Spartan soccer.

A life-long Spartan, Saxton earned three letters as a player before returning to campus in 1986 to assist legendary Spartan soccer coach Joe Baum with both the men’s and the new women’s program. Saxton was appointed the second head coach in the history of the women’s program on June 1, 1991. In 26 sea-sons, Saxton’s career record stands at 254-211-50

2008 saw Saxton lead MSU to one of its most successful seasons as the Spar-tans collected 14 wins - tying his career-high victory mark. Saxton also directed 2014’s squad to the NCAA Tournament for the third time since 2002, where the Spartans advanced to the second round. In 2009, the Spartans went 11-5-4 and posted a 4-4-2 record in Big ten Conference games, and returned to the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season, losing an overtime heartbreaker to No. 11 Santa Clara.

A two-time Big Ten Conference Coach of the Year, Saxton, earned his 150th vic-tory in the opening-round of the 2006 NCAA Tournament. It was MSU’s first-ever NCAA Tournament win. Saxton’s Spartans posted a 12-6-5 record in 2005, their sixth-straight season with double-digit wins, including a 6-2-2 mark in conference action, the team’s best-ever Big Ten mark. He attained his 200th victory against DePaul in the 2011 opener.

Saxton led Michigan State to its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 2002, guiding the Green and White to a 12-7-2 overall record, including a 5-3-2 mark in the Big Ten. Thanks to their fourth-place finish in the tough Big Ten, the Spartans earned an at-large bid to the tournament.

Saxton also won the Big Ten Coach of the Year Award in 1994, the conference’s first season. That year, the Spartans finished with an overall mark of 12-5-2 and a 5-1-1 league record to take home the soccer program’s only Big Ten Champion-ship.
