Kathleen Duwve Joins Women's Soccer Staff as Assistant Coach

HANOVER, N.H. - Taylor Schram, the Stacy Branca '94 Family Head Coach of Women's Soccer, has announced the addition of Kathleen Duwve as an assistant coach.

"I could not be more excited about the addition of Kathleen to our staff here at Dartmouth Women's Soccer," Schram said. "She is one of the most talented goalkeeper coaches in the country, and her presence will immediately elevate our goalkeeping environment. Kathleen's passion, work ethic, and ability to teach the game at a high level will undoubtedly benefit our athletes in a positive way."

Duwve comes to Dartmouth from Iowa State, where she served as an assistant coach for two seasons. During her time with the Cyclones, she established Avery Gillahan as a goalkeeper, earning 159 saves through her sophomore season, as well as Big 12 Goalkeeper of the Week and Big 12 Freshman of the Week honors.

She began her coaching career at DePaul University in August 2021, serving as an assistant coach. While with the Blue Demons, Duwve cultivated a competitive culture and since then, has seen goalkeepers Mollie Eriksson and Elena Milam kick off professional careers with Ottawa Rapids FC and Salmon Bay FC.

Hailing from Sylvania, Ohio, Duwve spent her collegiate career at Bowling Green State University. She holds the program records in winning percentage (64.5), as well as goals-against average (1.02). Before graduating in 2020, she earned a number of accolades, including being selected to the All-MAC First Team, Academic All-MAC Team, and named a MAC Distinguished Scholar Athlete.

As a goalkeeper for the Falcons, Duwve had 216 saves, 14 clean sheets, 32 wins, and a .797 save percentage through 5045 minutes of work. Additionally, she guided her team to two back-to-back MAC and NCAA championships.

Duwve began her professional career in Apulia Trani ASD in Italy's Serie C, then returned to the U.S. to play for the Women's Premier Soccer League's Gotham Reserves.

"I'm thrilled to be joining Taylor, Rachel, and Hayley on staff. The vision Taylor has for this program, paired with the current staff, is something that I couldn't resist being a part of. I look forward to contributing to the development of our student-athletes both on and off the field." Duwve said.
