INDIANAPOLIS, IND. -- Associate Athletic Director Beth Goetz has
resigned her position at Butler University and will join the
athletics management team at the University of Minnesota.

Director of Athletics Barry Collier. “Beth has done a
tremendous job for us in many, many ways and we will definitely
miss her. We congratulate Beth and wish her well at
Minnesota.”
Goetz joined Butler’s athletic staff after a 12-year stint at
the University of Missouri-St. Louis. She served an assistant
athletic director and senior woman administrator for eight years
and as women’s soccer head coach for 11 years at UMSL.
She led the women’s soccer team at Missouri-St. Louis to
eight winning seasons and a 120-90-10 overall record, and she was
named Great Lakes Valley Women’s Soccer Coach of the Year in
2000.
A gifted collegiate soccer player, Goetz earned All-America
recognition at Brevard College in North Carolina. She went on
to play two seasons at Clemson, where she helped the Tigers to a
29-11-1 record and a national tournament appearance.

Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Clemson in 1996.
She received her Master in Education degree from UMSL in 2000.
