Rob Brewer presided over the Missouri State women’s soccer program from its inception in 1996 until his retirement in 2021.
During his tenure, the program's founder oversaw 123 all-conference selections, 41 all-freshmen team honorees, 43 all-tournament team picks, and 90 conference scholar-athlete team performers. His teams were a combined 225-207-61 in 26 seasons, reaching the MVC Tournament 22 times in that span with MVC Tournament crowns and NCAA Tournament berths in 2000 and 2017. The Bears finished in the top four of the Missouri Valley Conference 18 times in Brewer's tenure including four runner-up finishes.
Brewer coached the 2009 MVC Player of the Year (Samantha Aguilar), three MVC Goalkeepers of the Year, eight MVC Defensive Players of the Year and the program's first-ever NWSL draft pick in Nia Williams (fourth round by FC Kansas City in 2012). A native of Lynchburg, Va., Brewer has served on the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Committee and was named MVC Coach of the Year in 1999.
