Hendrix College Men's Soccer

Bobby Peters enters into his first year as head coach of the Hendrix men's soccer program in 2026. Peters arrived in Conway from Eastern Arizona College, where he started the men's soccer program in the fall of 2023 and led the program to national recognition, including back-to-back region semifinal appearances in 2023 and 2024. The Monsters' on-field ability was matched by their academic prowess -- the 2024 team held a combined 3.44 GPA, which ranked 16th nationally in all of the NJCAA. Prior to Eastern Arizona, Peters spent three seasons as the head women's soccer coach at Cochise College, taking a team that had previously won five matches into a conference and regional champion. In his first season at Cochise, Peters was named Coach of the Year by the Arizona Community College Athletic Conference. Peters spent the 2018-19 season as the head men's and women's soccer coach at Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming, where he also served as an adjunct business professor. Peters got his coaching start in his home state of Missouri, serving as the head men's coach at East Central College where he was named the Missouri Community College Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 2011. Peters returned to his alma mater, Missouri Valley, in 2012 to help lead the Vikings to multiple NAIA national final appearances.

Meriah Sikora enters her second season as assistant coach with the Hendrix College women's soccer program. In her first season in Conway, Sikora helped guide the Warriors to their most single-season wins in program history (12). Hendrix hosted a first-round SAA playoff game and advanced to the semifinal round after defeating Oglethorpe on penalties for the program's first playoff win since 2018. Sikora was a standout four-year midfielder for McMurry from 2018-22. She was a 4x All-ASC selection for the Warhawks and was twice named All-Region by the United Soccer Coaches. She was the first Warhawk to earn All-Region honors in program history. Sikora is a 2018 graduate of Martin High School in Arlington, Texas and graduated from McMurry University in 2022 with a degree in Criminal Justice.
