The SIU-Carbondale women's soccer team has found its new head coach.

The Salukis have hired Graeme Orr to become the third head coach since the program played its first game in 2019.

The native of Scotland has spent the last 12 seasons as head coach at Division Two West Alabama. A school that recorded 10-consecutive winning seasons and 11-straight postseason appearances.

Orr follows Craig Roberts and Grant Williams, whose coaching tenures in Carbondale ended after they were both placed on administrative leave.

Williams led the program during its first three years of existence. Roberts failed to make it through his first season at the helm in 2022.
