One of the more respected goalkeeper coaches at each level in the State of Georgia, Trent Orndorf returns for his sixth season as a member of the Clayton State soccer programs. Since beginning to oversee the Lakers goalkeepers in 2011, the men’s and women’s programs have combined to win nearly 100 games. The women have produced a 53-33-11 overall record while the men have gone 44-36-5.
That span includes a trip to the NCAA Division II Women’s Soccer Tournament behind a 12-4-6 record and 8-0-3 Peach Belt Conference record. The latter resulted in a regular season championship and Clayton State also won the PBC Tournament title in a shootout to punch their ticket to the NCAA’s.
Orndorf has also coached all seven PBC Goalkeeper of the Week winners for women’s soccer, including five by all-time leader Charlotte McCormack. Adding to that list are five such selections for men’s soccer, with two each by Viltsu Tuumi (2015) and Nick Punter (2014).
Orndorf brings over 30 years of experience coaching at all levels of soccer – club, college and professional. He has previously served on the coaching staffs at both Life University and Georgia State University at the collegiate level and served as the goalkeeper coach for the Atlanta Silverbacks of the A-League and the Atlanta Blackhawks of the PDL.
