Women's Soccer Assistant Coach Jason Lowe Takes Position at Alabama

Jason Lowe, an assistant coach with the Emory women's soccer team the past two seasons, has resigned his position at the school to take an assistant coaching post at the University of Alabama.

During his two campaigns with the Eagles, Lowe helped the program to an impressive 32-6-3 won-lost mark that included a pair of appearances in the NCAA Division III Tournament.  In 2008, Emory also shared for the University Athletic Association championship, the Eagles first conference crown since 2004.

Serving as Emory's goalkeeper coach, Lowe guided first-year starter Sarah Wilkinson to a NSCAA/ ADIDAS All-South Region selection in 2008. Wilkerson's 0.544 overall GAA was the 23rd-lowest in Division III in 2008, and the eighth-lowest single season average in school history. She finished with a record of 16-4-1 overall and earned a berth on the All-UAA Team.
During his first season with the Eagles, he helped then-senior goalkeeper Emily Fedeles to First Team All-UAA honors, an eighth-ranking nationally in goals against average (0.33) and a tenth-national ranking in save percentage (0.894).

"While we are sorry to see Jason leave, we are excited for this opportunity for him to advance his career," said Emory head coach Sue Patberg.  Jason did a great job in all aspects of the program for us and I know that he is going to make many outstanding contributions at Alabama."
