COACHING STAFF Ali Alamdari 9th Season Western Mich. (2001) 517-265-5161 ext. 4054 aalamdari@adrian.edu 2011 MIAA Champions Ali Alamdari enters his ninth season as the head coach of the Adrian College women’s soccer team in 2016. Alamdari’s teams over the past eight seasons have compiled a record of 87-52-21 (.609) including a MIAA record of 57-37-12 (.594). When you place those numbers against the history of the program, it is truly a success story. From the beginning of the program in 1989 through 2007, the Bulldog women’s soccer program had just one winning season (12-7-1 in 2002). Since Alamdari’s arrival to Adrian, the women’s soccer program has produced 1 MIAA regular season championship, 1 NSCAA All-American, 9 NSCAA All-Region Honorees, 4 MIAA Most Valuable Players, 14 All-MIAA First Team Honorees, 8 All-MIAA Second Team Honorees, and 23 MIAA Players of the Week. Alamdari is currently first in career wins and win percentage at AC. Before taking over as the head coach at Adrian, Alamdari served as the assistant coach for the Albion College women’s soccer program and helped the team to a 25-7-6 record in two seasons. Albion captured the 2007 MIAA Tournament Championship and Alamdari mentored all goalkeepers including MIAA Player of the Year Caitlin Bowman. Alamdari serves as the founder and director of the Adrian Soccer Academy which formed in the summer of 2009, and has served on the camp staff at the University of Michigan since 2008. Prior to joining the college ranks, Alamdari served as the Women’s Head Coach for Loy Norrix High School in Kalamazoo, Michigan and Goalkeeper Coach for Portage Northern High School in Portage, Michigan and was active in the club scene with TKO Premier and Kalamazoo Kingdom Reserves. Coach Alamdari is licensed by the NSCAA and USSF, and holds a Master of Arts degree in Performance Driven Leadership from Western Michigan University (2001). He resides in Manchester with his wife Jessica, and daughters Juno and Emmy.
Kimberly Uetrecht 2nd Season Ohio Christian (2012) 517-265-5161 ext. 5009 kuetrecht@adrian.edu Kimberly Uetrecht is in her second season as an Adrian Bulldog Assistant Women’s Soccer Coach. Previously, Uetrecht was an assistant coach for two seasons at Concordia University (Neb.), where she assisted in Concordia’s 2014 GPAC tournament championship season. Additionally, she brings three years of women’s club soccer coaching experience and has received her national “E” license. She is currently in pursuit of higher coaching licenses. Uetrecht served as a four-year starter at Ohio Christian University from 2009-2012 and was team captain for three seasons. In addition to collegiate soccer, Uetrecht played with the Clermont Phoenix as part of an elite group of athletes in the Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL). Her most notable achievement came when she received the 2012 National Christian College Athletic Association Michelle Akers award, given to a student-athlete who best models the values of America’s first female soccer star. Akers played with passion and integrity while excelling in both the technical and tactical aspects of the game. Uetrecht earned her B.A. in business with an emphasis in international business and pre-law from Ohio Christian and an MBA from Concordia University (Neb.).
