Robyn Horner enters her fourth season at the helm of the Womens Soccer Program after taking the reins in 2015, and 6th season overall with Pfeiffer. In her first year, Horner led the Falcons to an 8-9-2 record as her team made the Conference Carolinas Tournament semifinals for the sixth year in a row.  In 2015 the Falcons placed three players on the All-Conference Team, with senior Aaliyah Jackson earning First Team honors.  Jackson would later achieve First Team All-State honors for her efforts.  Additionally, 15 members of the Falcon team went on to garner Academic All-Conference honors as they maintained a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 or higher on a 4.0 scale. Horners second campaign saw the Falcons break the .500 mark, finishing with an overall record of 10-7-2 and 7-3-1 in league play.  The Falcons made the Conference Carolinas Tournament semifinal for the seventh consecutive year, narrowly missing a bid to the finals in a closely contested matchup with league rival Belmont Abbey College. In 2016, the Falcons placed five players on the All-Conference Team, with senior Madeline Gadd earning First Team honors.  Gadd would later achieve Second Team All-State honors as well.  For the second straight season, the Falcons led Conference Carolinas with 15 members named to the Academic All-Conference Team.  This season also marked Pfeiffer's final year as a NCAA DII school, as Pfeiffer put in their application to reclassify as a DIII school, leaving the Conference Carolinas for the USA South. In her third year at the helm, transition was in full swing as Pfeiffer had previously graduated 18 members of their team in the senior class, and also marked Pfeiffer's first year as a DIII school.  With only 16 women's soccer players rostered that season, the Falcons battled to an even 8-8 on the season, with no official conference wins or losses due to being ineligible because of the reclassification process.  Some season highlights included a key 3-1 win on the schedule against eventual USA-South Conference champion, Methodist, while also boasting a 2.81 goals per game average on offense, and 1.55 goals against average on defense.  Even though the Falcons were ineligible for season awards within the conference, two team members, Tori Jackson (SR) and Cayci Eaton (FR), were selected in the post season for the NCCSIA 2nd team All-State.  Jackson, a defender, had 5 goals and 4 assists on the year for 12 points, and Eaton scored 12 goals and had 1 assist on the front line for 25 points on the year.  And on the academic side, 7 players were recognized by the USA-South for All-Academic honors, Tori Jackson, Kat Kelley, Maggie Walker, Gabby Ligas, Kaley Hyatt, Hailey Metzger, and Krystal Jaimes. Most recently, Horner's fourth year was touted as the best season not only in her career with the Falcons, but also in the 25 year history of the Women's Soccer program at Pfeiffer.  The Falcons finished the season with a 13-3 overall record and reached the quarterfinals of the ECAC Division III Championship, while also finishing 6-1 in the USA-South Conference. Only being eligible for a regular season championship within the USA-South, Pfeiffer narrowly missed out on top spot in the East with their 1 loss in conference.  The team returned a program best winning percentage (.813) and set a record for the least amount of losses in a single season.  Over the course of the season, many team and individual accolades were earned. The 2018 Falcons scored the most goals in a season since the 2013, finishing the schedule with 48 goals in 16 games for an impressive 3 goals per game average.  Pfeiffer managed 17.1 shots per game, and 273 shots on the season on offense, while also limiting the opposition to just 16 goals on defense.  Pfeiffer was also stellar at home, going 8-0 in matches played at Lefko Field and is now one match short of tying the longest home unbeaten streak at nine matches.  Individually, the Falcons shined, with seven All-USA South honors.  Earning both first team All USA-South, and also first team in the East Division were sophomores Madeline Capel and Meredith Manson, while the other Falcon players earning honors were freshman forward Mackenzie Pruitt, junior goalkeeper Kaley Hyatt and sophomore forward Cayci Eaton.  All told, Pfeiffer had three players with over 20 points on the season. Pruitt finished with a team best of 12 goals and 3 assists for 27 points,  Capel with 10 goals and 5 assists for 25 points, and Eaton finished with 9 goals and 3 assists for 21 points, marking her second consecutive season going over the 20-point mark.  More post season awards included 3 All-State selection by the NCCSIA, with Capel and Manson again making first team All-State, and goalkeeper Kaley Hyatt garnering second team honors.  Rounding out the post season awards, junior Krystal Jaimes was selected to the United Soccer Coaches Association (USC) Scholar All-South Region team for starting in all 16 matches and maintaining a 3.78 GPA as a Biology major.  Before stepping in the role of head coach, Horner spent the previous two seasons as Pfeiffers assistant coach, helping the Falcons to a 2014 overall record of 12-7-2, a Conference Carolinas tally of 8-2-1, and a trip to the Conference Tournament Finals.  In 2013, Horners first season with Pfeiffer, the Falcons finished 13-7-1 overall and 6-3 in conference play.  Horners first season with the Falcons was also marked with a Conference Carolinas Tournament Championship and an NCAA Tournament bid. As a professional, Horner played in the WPS (Womens Professional Soccer), the highest level of womens professional soccer. She spent two years playing for the Philadelphia Independence and traveled to play in Japan as a member of the Sky Blue FC organization.  While in Philadelphia, Horner and the Independence made two straight trips to the WPS Finals under the direction of Head Coach Paul Riley.  Following the dismantling of the WPS, Horner moved to Charlotte, NC where she joined the Charlotte Lady Eagles of the W-League.  Horner started in goal for the Charlotte Lady Eagles for four straight seasons, serving three of those seasons as Team Captain.  She finished her time with the Lady Eagles earning an overall record of 27-8-9 and currently sits fifth all-time in goalkeeper wins for the organization.  In 2012, Horners first season, the team played in the Conference Final, narrowly missing a trip to the W-League Final Four.  In 2014, Horner was a finalist for W-League Goalkeeper of the Year, and helped lead her team to a Southeastern Conference Championship after stopping two penalty kicks in the Conference Final.  That year also saw the Lady Eagles earn a trip to the W-League Final Four and a fourth place finish nationally. During Horners final season with the Charlotte Lady Eagles she was called up to the NWSL to play for the Western New York Flash (now the North Carolina Courage).  Horner earned a victory against the Washington Spirit before returning to the finish the season with the Lady Eagles. Prior to joining the Falcons, Horner earned considerable coaching experience from all levels of the game.  She began her coaching career at Franklin & Marshall University and went on to serve as the Head Goalkeeper Trainer for the Next Level Soccer Academy in Pennington, NJ.  Following that stint, Horner accepted the Assistant Coach/Goalkeeper Coach position at The College of New Jersey.  During her time at TCNJ, the Lions made three straight Division III NCAA Tournament Appearances, including a trip to the Final Four.  In addition to collegiate coaching, Horner coached club soccer for the Charlotte Soccer Academy and was the Assistant Coach for the Womens Varsity Soccer Team at Southlake Christian Academy in 2013.  Robyn has also served as a Goalkeeper Trainer for North Carolina ODP since 2011. Before coaching, Horner enjoyed a distinguished collegiate career as a goalkeeper at Rutgers University.  As a freshman for the Scarlet Knights, Horner was named Rutgers Rookie of the Year, Soccerbuzz All-Region Co-Freshmen Goalkeeper of the Year and won the MVP Award at the Notre Dame Classic. Robyn resides in Kannapolis, NC with her husband Paul and son Benjamin.
