VCU Women’s Soccer Head Coach Lindsey Martin recently announced the hiring of Owusu Sekyere as assistant coach.

Sekyere returns to VCU after spending the past season as an assistant coach at George Mason. He previously served as a volunteer assistant under Martin for two seasons from 2021-2022.

“I am very happy for the program to be able to welcome back Owusu to our staff,”

Martin said. “He was such an integral part of our 2021 and 2022 success and we are thrilled to have him join us again leading into our fall season.”

Martin added, “He has all the qualities that we look for when seeking a strong assistant coach, as he possesses a strong knowledge of the game combined with an ability to connect with student-athletes.”

During Sekyere’s previous stint with the Rams, VCU won its first Atlantic 10 regular season championship in 2021, tying a school record with nine straight wins en route to a 13-4-0 record. The following year, VCU earned a spot in the Atlantic 10 Tournament, finishing 8-3-8.

Sekyere, a VCU alumnus, played four years for the Rams, appearing in 63 games and recording 12 goals and 15 assists as a midfielder.

After graduating, Sekyere played professionally in the USL, making 28 appearances for the Charlotte Eagles in 2014 before joining the Richmond Kickers from 2015 to 2018, where he played in 96 matches.
