Dallas Boyer is entering his seventh season as the head coach of the Cleveland State women’s soccer program. Boyer had previously served as an assistant coach for 10 seasons with the Vikings.

This past season, Boyer led the Green and White to a 7-6-4 overall record and a 4-4-2 mark in Horizon League games. On the year, the Vikings were tough to beat at Krenzler Field, putting up a 4-2-2 record.

Cleveland State received three Horizon League postseason honors, with Kathryn Ramicone and Rylee Bussen earning Second Team honors and Eleanor Simkonis on the All-Freshman team. Off the field, the Green and White had two players receive Academic All-League recognition.

In 2021, Cleveland State went 6-11-2 overall and 5-5-1 in league play, advancing to their first postseason tournament since 2019. The Vikings ended the regular season in dramatic fashion, going 3-0-1 over the final four contests to earn a spot in the Horizon League Tournament. During this stretch, the Viking defense didn’t allow a goal for 458 minutes, recording four straight shutouts.

Senior Essence Canady was named to the All-League Second Team after leading the Viking defense, while Kyla Valaitis was named to the All-Freshman team.

During the abbreviated spring 2021 season, Boyer led the Green and White to a 6-4-0 record, with Kathryn Ramicone earning Horizon League Freshman of the Year honors. Ramicone, Elena Gutlove, and Maddie Young were named to the All-Horizon League First Team.

In just his second year at the helm, Boyer led the Vikings to their best season in program history with an 11-7-1 overall record and a 6-2-1 mark in league games. The victories in 2018 were the most in program history and saw the Vikings make their first-ever appearance in the Horizon League Championship game.

Following the regular season, Sarah Krause, Dani Sowinski, and McKenna Vento were named First Team All-Horizon League, which was the first time in school history the Vikings placed three players on the top team.

In his first season at the helm, Boyer led Cleveland State back to the Horizon League Tournament for the first time since 2015 after finishing with a 9-9-1 overall record and a 5-4-0 mark in league games. Jenna Prathapa became the first player in program history to earn Horizon League Freshman of the Year honors and was one of four players to reach double figures in points. It marked the first time in school history that four players recorded at least 10 points in the same season.

Prior to being named the head coach, Boyer served as the assistant coach since 2007, helping 15 players earn All-Horizon League honors and eight players garner spots on the Horizon League All-Newcomer team. In addition, seven players earned All-Ohio accolades.
