Colleen Corbin was named the second head coach in K-State soccer history on Dec. 2, 2024. Corbin will begin her second season on the sidelines in Manhattan during the 2026 season.
Corbin agreed to a 5-year contract, which was approved by the K-State Athletics, Inc., Board of Directors and President Richard Linton.
In her first season with K-State, Corbin led the program to statistical heights it had never before attained. The Wildcats secured the first winning season in program history (7-6-5) and a record for points in the Big 12 standings (10). The Wildcats set 49 school records in the 2025 season, including: wins in a season (7), draws in a season (5), winning percentage in a season (.528), tied school record for non-conference wins in a season (5; 2017 & 2021), set record for winning percentage in non-conference play (.786), home wins in a season (4), tied record for road wins in a season (3) and secured the first .500 or better record in road matches (3-3-4).
Offensively, Corbin guided the program to school records for goals (23), assists (22), points in a season (68), shots on goal in a season (113), corner kicks in a season (103) and multi-goal matches in a season (9).
Defensively, Corbin’s first K-State squad set the school records for shutouts in a season (9), shutouts in Big 12 games (4), goals against average in a season (1.11), fewest shots on goal allowed in a season (76), fewest shots on goal allowed per game in a season (4.22), consecutive shutout minutes (504:07), consecutive shutouts (5), consecutive shutouts to begin a season (5), consecutive shutout wins (4) and shutout halves in a season (24).
Corbin took the reins of the K-State program following a season as the associate head coach at Saint Louis. During her time with the Billikens, Corbin helped the program to a 15-2-6 overall record, which included a 7-0-3 record in the Atlantic 10 Conference and the regular season and conference tournament titles and the automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. The Billikens reached the second round of the tournament following a 1-0 win over Kansas.
Corbin was responsible for the Billikens’ goalkeepers and defensive backline, overseeing a defensive effort that registered 14 shutouts in the 23 matches. For the season, Saint Louis goalkeepers registered a save percentage of .835 while allowing 14 total goals for a 0.61 goals against average. She helped mentor the 2024 Atlantic 10 Defender of the Year, Lyndsey Heckel.
Prior to her time at Saint Louis, Corbin guided Wyoming to a Mountain West Conference regular-season co-championship and was named the league’s Coach of the Year in 2022 and coached the 2022 Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year, Jamie Tatum.
In her first season in Laramie in 2021, she led the Cowgirls to eight victories, equaling the most wins by a first-year head coach in program history.
Prior to her stint at Wyoming, Corbin served as associate head coach at James Madison (2018-20) and was an assistant coach at Arizona State (2016) and Cal State Northridge (2014-15). She helped James Madison win the 2018 Colonial Athletic Association regular-season title, coaching the Dukes’ goalkeepers to the top of the league in shutouts (7).
Corbin played collegiately at Oregon State, where she was a two-time NSCAA All-America honors as a goalkeeper and set school career and single-season records for goals against average and shutouts. She helped lead the Beavers to three NCAA Tournament appearances including a round of 16 in 2009. Corbin is a 2012 graduate of Oregon State with a bachelor’s degree in education.
The La Cañada, California, native went on to play two seasons of professional soccer. She was part of a Western New York Flash team that captured a Women’s Premier Soccer League title, and she played for the Boston Breakers of the National Women’s Soccer League.
