Salisbury Women's Soccer Coach Kwame Lloyd to Step Down After 14 Seasons and 107 Wins

Lloyd will resign at the end of the 2026 season. The Sea Gulls, 4-10-1 after a 2-1 win over St. Mary's on Wednesday, host Johnson & Wales Charlotte on Saturday, and a national search will start after the season.

SALISBURY, MARYLAND — Kwame Lloyd, who has led Salisbury University women's soccer to 107 wins in 14 seasons, announced Thursday that he will resign at the end of the 2026 season, the university said.

Lloyd is the third head coach in program history. His teams won 10 or more games five times, and he was named Capital Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 2014 and 2019, the year the Sea Gulls went unbeaten in 14 straight games from Sept. 11 to Oct. 30. Salisbury never missed a conference tournament under him, according to the release.

"I have called the Eastern Shore my home for the past 14 years, and I have been blessed to work at Salisbury University," Lloyd said. He said he is stepping away to pursue new opportunities for his family.

Athletics director Monica Polizzi thanked Lloyd for more than a decade of leadership. The university said a national search for a new head coach will begin when the season ends.

The Sea Gulls beat St. Mary's 2-1 at home on Wednesday on Callie Chesney's goal in the 72nd minute, improving to 4-10-1. They host Johnson & Wales Charlotte on Saturday at 1 p.m.

Fourteen seasons on the Shore, and the search waits for the last game.
