Vicky McCarthy
Assistant Women's Soccer Coach
1stYear

 

After playing for MSU Billings, Vicky McCarthy is returning as an assistant coach for the 2003 season. A native to Montana, she played in three sports in high school and went on to play soccer in college. Playing for the Mining City Marauders’ Soccer Club of Butte and for Butte High, she was named Most Valuable Players a couple of times, Most Valuable Offensive Player, and has been All-State honorable Mention.

After graduating high school she played one at Carroll College in Helena for Carl Straub. She then transferred to MSU Billings and played the rest of her years in Billings under Carlos Arce for two years and Don Trentham for one year. While playing for the Yellowjackets she was part of the squad that posted the program’s best-ever record. She started every game while at MSUB and holds the number three spot in the record book for games played. McCarthy was a team leader last season and was voted the team’s Most Valuable Player.

McCarthy began playing in 1999 for MSUB. Throughout the years she has worked many spring break, summer and day camps that the school has provided for youth soccer around the city and in Laurel. McCarthy has also volunteered her time to coach a U-13 Girls Magic City Soccer team and has received her "D" license from the United States Soccer Federation.

Her most memorable soccer moment was during the fall semester of 2001 when the men’s and women’s team traveled twenty-four hours in a bus to California. While there, both teams jogged to the beach and practiced in the sand with all the washed up jellyfish getting in the way. It was during late fall and many of the players were seeing the ocean for the first time. She says she will never forget all the Montana kids jumping in the freezing cold water. McCarthy mentions, "They did not care how cold it was or what other jellyfish might be lurking, they were jumping in. You have never seen anything until you see a bunch of people from Montana getting knocked over by ocean waves."
