University of Wyoming Men's Soccer

Purdum is entering his third season as the head coach of Cowgirl soccer. He owns a career record of 11-12-15. Purdum’s second season with Wyoming saw him build on the success he experienced in his first season. Purdum’s 2025 squad made a big splash in the non-conference, defeating No. 15 Georgia, 1-0, in Athens. It marked the program’s second win ever over a ranked team and the first one ever on the road. In fact, Wyoming soccer’s first-ever ranked win occurred the year before, also under Purdum, when it toppled No. 11 Utah State, 2-0, in Laramie. Purdum helped coach Alyssa Glover back from injury for a truly special 2025 season. She compiled 11 goals and 25 points, which were both program bests for a single season. That also put her at the top of the Mountain West Conference in both those statistical categories. Her six game-winning scores set a new school record for a single season. Speaking of program records and Glover, she also scored the fastest goal in Wyoming soccer history, netting one 25 seconds into a game at Colorado. Purdum also helped coach goalkeeper Haley Bartel to eight shutouts in 2025, which was second all-time in program history behind what Bartel did in Purdum’s first year when she had nine clean sheets. Purdum’s inaugural year with the brown and gold was a noteworthy one. The 2024 Wyoming squad defeated a ranked foe for the first time in program history, blanking No. 11 Utah State, 2-0, in Laramie. The Aggies entered the match unbeaten and as the second-highest scoring offense in the country. That shutout was one of nine for Haley Bartel, which was a school best for a single season. The Cowgirls also held No. 3 BYU scoreless in an exhibition match Wyoming won, 1-0, in Provo. It doesn’t stop there, as Wyoming shut out Big 10 foe, Washington, 0-0, in Seattle. Purdum also helped coach two of best to ever hail from the Equality State. Ayssa Bedard, from Rock Springs, and Maddi Chance, from Lander, ended No. 7 and No. 11, respectively, on the all-time goal scorer list with 17 and 15 goals scored.   Prior to taking the head job at Wyoming, Purdum was at Colorado State as an assistant coach for two-plus seasons. He’s also had coaching stops at North Dakota State – for four years, one of which was as the associate – Eastern Kentucky for two years and Drake for one. Purdum graduated from Northern Colorado with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. He was also a graduate assistant coach with the Bears from 2011-14 while earning a master’s degree in clinical counseling.   Purdum competed in semi-professional soccer for the Northern Colorado Cutthroats of the Premier Arena Soccer League from 2009-11.   Year Team Title Record 2012 Northern Colorado Graduate Assistant Coach 7-8-5 (.475) 2013 Northern Colorado Graduate Assistant Coach 10-6-5 (.595) 2014 Northern Colorado Graduate Assistant Coach 10-9-2 (.524) 2015 Drake Assistant Coach 7-9-2 (.444) 2016 Eastern Kentucky Assistant Coach 13-5-1 (.711) 2017 Eastern Kentucky Assistant Coach 11-5-4 (.650) 2018 North Dakota State Assistant Coach 9-7-0 (.562) 2019 North Dakota State Assistant Coach 8-7-3 (.528) 2021 (Spring) North Dakota State Assistant Coach 7-8-1 (.469) 2021 North Dakota State Associate Head Coach 3-12-1 (.219) 2022 Colorado State Assistant Coach 4-7-8 (.421) 2023 Colorado State Assistant Coach 12-6-4 (.636) 2024 Wyoming Head Coach 4-6-9 (.447) 2025 Wyoming Head Coach 7-6-6 (.526)

University of Wyoming soccer head coach Josh Purdum announced an addition to his staff on Tuesday. Quentin Boric joins the program as the new assistant coach, primarily working with goalkeepers. “I am beyond thrilled to join the Cowgirl soccer family and contribute to an amazing program that is on the brink of achieving some historic things,” Boric said. “In my short time around the team and staff, the dedication to excellence on and off the field is very clear and I hope to add to that. Overall, grateful to God, coach Josh Purdum, the entire staff, and the University of Wyoming for this opportunity." Boric arrives in Laramie after a two-year stint as an assistant with Houston Christian. He had great success on staff with the Huskies, as they earned the Southland Conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament this past season by way of winning the conference tournament. In addition to the NCAA Tournament appearance, the Huskies also saw an uptick in regular-season performance. Between Boric’s first and second seasons, Houston Christian nearly doubled its win total from five to nine. Prior to his time in Houston, Boric coached at University of the Cumberlands for four years. He helped the Patriots achieve an NAIA national championship in 2023. The title punctuated what was an impressive run for the Patriots with Boric on staff. In those four years, the University of the Cumberlands went a combined 70-11-8.
