George Fox University

Bryon Shenk's tenure as the first George Fox women's soccer coach began in 1991 and continued for the next 11 seasons. Beginning with a roster comprised almost exclusively of freshmen, the 1991 team won the first match in Bruin history and continued to compete successfully throughout the season and into the NAIA District 2 playoffs - the first of three straight postseason appearances. The 1992 team distinguished itself by gaining an NAIA Top 20 spot after upsetting the No. 1-ranked and defending national champion Pacific Lutheran University. In 1998, the Bruins posted the best season in the team's history with a 15-4-2record and a streak of 14 matches in a row without a loss while finishing second in the  Northwest Conference. The 1998 team also advanced to the NAIA West Regional and ultimately finished its season as the NAIA's 10th-ranked team in the nation. He retired from coaching at the end of the 2001 season with a 96-87-11 record at George Fox and a career mark of 200-200-37 in 32 years. Shenk served as the chair for the Department of Health and Human Performance for 10 years, and continues to serve as a professor and an athletic trainer.
