CHARLESTON, S.C. - Charleston Southern University Athletic Director Jeff Barber announced today that Head Coach Eric Terrill will be stepping away from the program, effective December 6.
"Although I was only able to work with Eric for 18 months of his career, I want to thank him for his commitment to the CSU women's soccer program over the past 25 years," Barber said. "He has given great effort highlighted by a share of the Big South Championship in 2010. We wish him the very best as he moves into his new endeavors and will forever be grateful for his service and contributions to our program."
In his 25 seasons on the sidelines with the Buccaneers, Terrill compiled a 181-244-41 overall record and 75-99-21 mark in Big South Conference play. He wraps up his coaching career at CSU with the second-most overall wins in Big South history (overall and conference-only). His tenure includes a share of the Big South regular season championship in 2010.
"I appreciate everything the university has done for me over the last 26 years," Terrill said. "From the beginning when Dr. Hunter and Howard Bagwell hired me, to Hank Small, Jeff Barber, and Dr. Costin over the last few years, I want to thank everyone for the opportunity to coach here at CSU and build this program."
He continued, "We have a lot of really good players here over the years and I'd like to thank them for all of their efforts both on and off the field. It's time right now to step back and let someone else come in and build on the successes we've had here at CSU."
The Bucs recorded four double-digit win seasons under Terrill and won 12 games three times in a four-year span between 2007 and 2010. The four-year span came during a stretch in which CSU had five straight winning seasons posting a record of 54-33-10 and 24-13-7 in the Big South. The Bucs also garnered 11 victories in 1996 and won nine games on three occasions including 2018.
Under Terrill's direction, the Bucs have had 70 selections to All-Big South teams and 14 named to the All-Freshman squad. The Bucs had three players earn Big South Player of the Year recognition with Marky Boyce (2009 & 2010) and Carrie Terrill (2001) taking top honors from the conference during his tenure.
Additionally, Betsy Lapp (1998) and Michelle Dennis (2007) were conference freshmen of the year, while Wendy Ennis (1995 and 1996) and Katie Crona (2004 and 2005) were honored as Big South Scholar-Athletes of the Year.
Boyce was also named to the National Soccer Coaches Association All-Southeast Region third team in 2009 and 2010.
Ennis and Mary Pipilas were both named to the Big South All-Decade team were for the 1990s, and Boyce was chosen for the 2000-09 era.
A national search for a new head coach will begin immediately. Associate Head Coach Christi Rostin will serve as the interim head coach while the search is conducted.
