Maggie Sherman enters her first season as head coach of the St. Cloud State Women’s Soccer program after being hired in February 2026. The seventh head coach in program history, Sherman most recently coached five seasons at D-I South Dakota (2021-25).

Sherman worked primarily with the goalkeepers as an assistant coach with South Dakota for three seasons (2021-23) before being promoted to associate head coach in March 2024 where she worked with both goalkeepers and field players for two seasons (2024-25). The Coyotes won a program-best 10 games in 2021 and advanced to the Summit League Tournament four times in five seasons with Sherman on staff, with 15 earning all-conference honors and three earning all-region honors. Under Sherman’s guidance, two goalkeepers earned All-Summit League honors with Emma Harkleroad earning 2021 second team honors and Cambell Fischer earning 2024 honorable mention honors. Sherman coached Harkleroad’s final season at South Dakota, as she closed her career by leading the nation with an 88.9 percent save percentage in 2021 and set the Coyote program record for career goals-against-average at 0.94.

Sherman spent the 2020-21 season at Southern Utah where she helped the Thunderbirds finish 5-3-1 in a COVID spring season while ranking second in the Big Sky Conference in save percentage (.833) and third in season saves (45). Prior to collegiate coaching, Sherman spent five years as a high school head coach, leading both the boys (2018-19) and girls (2016-20) teams at Eagle Valley High School in Colorado. She’s also spent time coaching club teams in both Colorado and Utah.

The Vail, Colorado native was a member of the inaugural D-I team at Colorado State in 2013. She played two seasons as a goalkeeper for the Rams (2013-14) and recorded the first win in program history. She made a team-high 59 saves in 2013 and was named to the Academic All-Mountain West team.

Sherman graduated from Colorado State in 2015 with her Bachelor of Science in health and exercise science with a concentration in health promotion and a business administration minor. She earned a master’s degree in soccer coaching from Ohio in 2020. She holds certifications from the United Soccer Coaches in 2017 (Advanced National Diploma) and 2020 (Goalkeeper Level 1), and the U.S. Soccer Federation in 2022 (C License).
