Misenheimer, NC – Director of Athletics Bobby Stewart announces Elijah Denton has been named head coach for Pfeiffer women’s soccer.  “I am extremely excited to have Elijah at the helm of our women’s soccer program,” said Stewart.  “He was integral in leading our players to a Conference Carolinas tournament title and appearance in the NCAA regional tournament this past season and I am fully confident we will see further success with Elijah directing the program.”

"I am very excited to take over as the head coach of such a successful program as the one that exists here at Pfeiffer University,” said Denton.  “I want to thank Dr. Ambrose and Bobby Stewart for allowing me to continue to be part of such a wonderful community and for giving me the opportunity to continue to build on the success that the student-athletes have experienced on and off the field."
