New women’s soccer coach David Dixon is excited to be at Milligan and has high hopes for the women’s team. 
“I have a passion for soccer and a love for the game,” said Dixon. “I am excited to be here in the small, family, Christian atmosphere. My desire is to help develop Milligan into one of the best small college programs that I can.”


Dixon comes to Milligan from Belhaven College where he coached for four seasons and was named NAIA Regional Coach of the Year in 2001.


He looks forward to building on and expanding the soccer tradition at Milligan and hopes to take his team to a national championship.


Dixon is familiar with college soccer having played for Houghton College where he was named NAIA All-American goalkeeper and also took his team to three national championships.


“Playing soccer in college was one of the best experiences of my life,” said Dixon. “I know the importance of building lasting relationships and pursuing my goals as a player and a person. I want to see my players fulfill what they want out of Milligan and the soccer program.”
