A soccer icon in Southwestern Ohio, Miami University head coach Bobby Kramig (pronounced: CRAY-mig) enters his 28th season as the mentor of Miami soccer and 14th year at the helm of a women’s program that has experienced dramatic growth and success under his guidance.

Over the past 13 seasons, Kramig has taken an infant women’s soccer program and developed it into one of the premier programs in the Great Lakes Region. Kramig has posted a solid 132-109-18 (.544) mark since the start of the women’s program in 1997, including a stunning 64-21-4 (.742) record over a four-year stretch from 1999-2002 that included four consecutive MAC Championship match appearances, three MAC Tournament titles, back-to-back appearances in the second round of the NCAA Tournament and a MAC regular-season championship.

After a one-year absence from the MAC Tournament in 2003, Kramig has guided Miami to the league’s postseason tournament in each of the past six seasons, including its fifth-ever championship game berth in 2009 and semifinal appearances in 2005 and 2006. Following a first-round exit in 2004, Miami rebounded to finish the 2005 campaign with nine wins, including a 1-0 win over then-No. 17 Michigan, Miami’s first win over a nationally-ranked opponent since 2001. In 2009, the RedHawks set school records for fewest goals allowed in a season (14), which was also the fewest in the MAC, and goals-against average (0.65), which ranked 18th nationally, en route to a 12-win campaign and the MAC title game.
