Dec 19, 2025 | Soccer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – New Texas A&M head coach Bobby Shuttleworth claimed his second United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division I Women's Staff of the Year honor Friday.
Recognized for his efforts as the associate head coach for Florida State's national championship squad in 2025, Shuttleworth also earned the award as an assistant at FSU in 2023.
Shuttleworth arrived in Aggieland the day after helping the Florida State claim the national championship with a 1-0 victory over Stanford. He has spent the last four seasons on the Seminoles' staff, serving as associate head coach the last two campaigns. He helped FSU win another NCAA title in 2023, along with a third College Cup run in 2022.
Mentoring the goalkeepers as one of his main duties, one of Shuttleworth's star pupils was the standout in the national championship game victory. Netminder Kate Ockene made nine saves as FSU won despite being outshot 18-8.
During his time at Florida State, the Seminoles posted a 70-7-12 record. FSU sported the top winning percentage in the nation over that span at .854. In 2023, Shuttleworth was part of the United Soccer Coaches National Coaching Staff of the Year after leading Florida State to the first undefeated season in school history. FSU amassed a 30-6-4 (.800) league record in the ACC, the nation's premier soccer conference.
A hallmark of Shuttleworth's stint in Tallahassee was excellence in the postseason. The Seminoles posted a 17-1-1 (.921) mark in NCAA Tournament games during his four seasons. FSU tallied a 5-0-3 (.825) mark in ACC Tournament matches, collecting championship trophies all three years from 2022-24.
