Oesterle resigns as women's coach
Grand Canyon University women's soccer coach Rich Oesterle resigned Thursday following one season in charge of the Lady Antelopes. Oesterle spent three seasons as assistant coach before taking over the head coaching job weeks before the start of the season.
He will remain with the program until his replacement is named. GCU Athletic Director Keith Baker said a search for a new coach has begun, and the search would remain open until a new coach is named. Grand Canyon would like to have a coach in place before the end of the Arizona high school season in late January.
