BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana women's soccer head coach Josh Rife has announced the addition of Peyton York as an assistant coach.
"I am so excited to have Peyton York join us here at Indiana University," head coach Josh Rife said. "In just a short time working with her, she was able to elevate all areas of our program, from on the field training, community engagement, recruiting visits, and camps to name a few. Her infectious enthusiasm and ability to connect with the players only adds to her value within our staff. She is a great young coach who has a bright future ahead of her."
York joins the Hoosiers after spending two years on Rife's staff at Ball State. In her position at Ball State, York worked with the Cardinals goalkeepers who in her two seasons had a save percentage of 80 percent. She helped guide Bethany Moser to the program's single season record of 113 saves in 2023 while Moser earned MAC Defensive Player of the Week honors twice.
"I am extremely excited to continue this journey with Coach Rife at Indiana University," York said. "Josh has always been an incredible mentor to me from my collegiate playing days to now as colleagues on the field. He creates a work and team environment with the culture of "failing forward". As a young coach, that mentality has been invaluable to my growth both professionally and personally. I am so grateful to Josh and his family, and I am honored to be trusted with this opportunity. I am pumped to get started and help move this program forward. Go Hoosiers!"
In addition to working with the goalies, York was hands on with the team's defense while also assisting and organizing team travel, camps and recruiting on and off campus. York is also a PhD. Student in biochemistry at Ball State and will continue her studies and research with the university.
York spent four seasons at Mississippi State as a student assistant coach. In the spring of 2018, she mentored Katie Moore and Emily Samisch, as well as led goalkeeper workouts. Prior to becoming a student assistant, York was a member of the 2018 signing class.
The Prosper, Texas, native has a variety of volunteer coaching experience, including instruction at MSU soccer camps over two summers. She has coached in the youth recreation league in her hometown and offered private training sessions in the past. York has worked striker and goalkeeper camps for In the Box Soccer in Texas for three years as well as U.K. Elite Soccer Camps.
York arrived in Starkville after a standout career at Prosper High School where she collected 54 career shutouts in just three seasons, including 22 as a sophomore on her way to being named Co-Goalkeeper of the Year in 2015-16.
