Coach Quote
"Rest at the end, not in the middle."

Chloe Roberts was named Nebraska-Kearney's third all-time head women's soccer coach in April 2017. 

She came to UNK in August 2014 and served as the the program's graduate assistant coach for two seasons. In the summer of 2016, she was elevated to assistant coach status and then moved to interim head coach in December.

During her time in Nebraska, the Lopers have won 25 games, reached the 2015 MIAA Tournament and had 20 all-conference selections. She has coached teams that have set new school records for save percentage (.892/2019), most shut outs (eight/2016), goals against average (0.87/2019) and most ties (seven/2019). Individually defender Molly Wills set a new program record for career minutes (6,762) in 2019, a mark previously held by Marika Van Brocklin ('17). 

In the classroom UNK maintains over a 3.00 cumulative grade point average on an annual basis with keeper Allie Prososki named to the United Soccer Coaches Senior College Scholar All-West Region squad in 2019. The Lopers also earned a team award for strong academics as well. 

"Chloe has been with us for the last three years and rose above a very strong and deep pool of applicants to be named our head women's soccer coach," said then-UNK Athletic Director Dr. Paul Plinske at the time of her head coaching hiring. "Chloe shows a genuine concern for the student-athletes in her care, has great passion for soccer and is a disciplined and fundamentally sound coach. She also understands practice and game planning and her approach to teaching the game is exceptional." 32535

The GSC Player (2011) and Freshman (2009) of the Year, Roberts helped the Lions win 68 games and make four NCAA Tournament appearances. Tabbed as the Alabama Sports Writers Small College Athlete of the Year in 2011, she played professionally with the Colorado Rapids (2013) and Atlanta Silverbacks (2012).

Prior to coming to the States, Roberts was on England Women's National Team (U-15-23's) from 2005-10 and earned a National Diploma in Sport Development from Duchy College in 2009.
