BIO:
Keith West coaches the G93 Real So Cal squad. The 93 girls’ team has tasted success at the highest level of club soccer. West was named head coach of the Women’s CSUN team on Mar. 14, 2006, becoming the fifth head coach in the history of the program.
West previously worked with the women’s team for two years as an assistant under Terry Davila and helped guide the Matadors to a pair of double-digit win totals. In 2004, Northridge equaled school records in wins (12) and conference victories (6) in earning its first trip to the Big West Tournament. Last season, the Matadors posted an 11-8-0 record, setting a school mark with a nine-match winning streak in tying for fourth in one of the toughest conference’s in the nation.
West has been a part of the Cal State Northridge soccer coaching staff since 1999 when he was an assistant on the men’s team. His coaching days began in 1996 when he served as a graduated assistant on coach Marwan Ass’ad’s staff.
As the men’s defensive coach for seven seasons, West helped the Matadors to four straight trips to the NCAA Division I Tournament thanks to a defense that has been ranked as one of the nation’s toughest over the last four seasons. Northridge finished with a goals against average of 0.88 last season and posted 11 shutouts. Three Matador defenders earned All-Big West Conference honors, with Sean Franklin earning first-team honors, Matt Tracy receiving second-team accolades and Derek Hanks being named to the honorable mention team. A total of 10 Northridge defenders have been named all-conference over the last four seasons, including back-to-back Big West Defensive Player of the Year Edwin Miranda.
Much of West’s success as a coach comes from lessons learned on the field as a three-year letterman with the Matadors from 1993-95. He led the western region and finished third in the nation in scoring as a senior after collecting an amazing 20 goals and 49 total points. In addition to his Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Player of the Year award, West garnered second team All-Far West Region honors in 1995.
As a high school athlete at Kennedy High School, West accumulated many accolades, including his selection as City Player of the Year after his junior season.

West graduated from CSUN in the spring of 2003 with a bachelor’s degree in Finance/Real Estate.
