Game Notes

Jackson State Tigers @JStateTigers

Jackson State Head Coach Dean Joseph

Dean Joseph enters his

fourth season as the

head women's soccer

coach at Jackson State

University.

At the helm of the Lady

Tigers soccer team,

Joseph holds a 25-32-

7 record and has led

JSU to two Southwest-

ern Athletic Champion-

ship game appearances, one SWAC champion-

ship title, and one NCAA regional tournament

appearance.

Joseph has prior ties to the Southwestern Athletic

Conference. From 2003 to 2008, Joseph led the

Mississippi Valley State Devilettes to two SWAC

championships and two NCAA tournament ap-

pearances. While at Valley, he accumulated a 61

-51-8 record. He was also nominated as coach

of the year in 2005 and 2008. His Devilettes held

a cumulative team GPA of 3.25.

Prior to taking the assistant position at ULM, Jo-

seph led Gautier High School to the playoffs

twice in his last three years with the high school.

In the 2010 season, he led the team to the first

final four in seven years.

In his three years at Gautier High School Joseph

placed 7 of 14 graduates into college soccer

programs around the country. He was the first

coach to place two players in a Division 1 Pro-

gram. He was also instrumental in coaching

Ashley Johnson who eventually became the lead-

ing goal scorer in school history with over 100

goals. Johnson was the leading goal scorer in

the nation, scoring 50 goals, according to max-

preps.com.

Academics have been a huge part of the

success of Joseph's programs. In his last

year, the team GPA was 3.72, the highest

cumulative GPA of any team at Gautier High

School. The soccer program received the

MHSAA Team Scholar Athlete Award in

each of his three years at Gautier.

Joseph earned his bachelor's degree in

sports management with a minor in market-

ing at Tiffin University in 1996 after trans-

ferring from William Carey, where he was

ranked fourth in the nation in goals and his

team was nationally ranked. During his time

at Tiffin University, he won two conference

titles and was among the top goal scorers

in the conference. In 2007, he was inducted

into the Tiffin University Hall of Fame.

Joseph is married to LaDana Joseph and

has three children, Zoe, Cristin, and

Ashton.
