Lee Horton - Head Coach

As the only head coach in the history of the Lady Eagles, Coach Horton has been a model of consistency through the last nine seasons. With an overall record of 102 wins, 28 losses and 7 ties, Coach Horton has maintained a steady hand of leadership in guiding the team to eight playoff appearances including 1 W-League championship (2001), 2 championship game defeats (2000 and 2002), as well as Conference championships (2000, 2001, 2002, 2006). Coach Horton is a member of the North Carolina Soccer Coaches Hall of Fame and has been the head boys and girls soccer coach at Charlotte Latin School for over twenty years winning 11 NC State Championships during that time. He currently lives in Charlotte with his wiffe Mercedes and has two children, Josh and Kristin.

Tiffany Rice - Assistant Coach 

As one of the original members of the very first Charlotte Lady Eagles team in 2000, Tiffany (Tisdale) Rice has a long and storied history with the club. After her six year playing career came to a close, Tiffany transitioned seamlessly from the role of team captain into the role of assistant coach where she continues to provide invaluable leadership and understanding of the game. Tiffany played for Coach Horton at Charlotte Latin while in high school, prior to attending and playing her collegiate soccer at Ohio State University. She now lives in Charlotte with her husband Will and their son Caden.

Becky Hylton - Assistant Coach 

Tina Murphy - Assistant Coach

Tina comes back to the Lady Eagles after a year in Brasil where she was coaching the Eagles Brasil. Tina was a former stand out player with the Lady Eagles from 2001-2008.  She was part of the team that won the National Championship in her first year. Tina has always been a great influence for her team mates over the years.  She will look to bring that same leadership to the sideline in 2010.

Katie Forbis - Assistant Coach/Women’s Ministry Coordinator

Katie was a standout goalkeeper for the Lady Eagles over the past four years and will now transition to the coaching side of the team. Although this will be her first year coaching with the team, she has had numerous years coaching goalkeepers of all levels. She will continue to be a positive influence not only with the goalkeepers but with the whole team. Katie has also transitioned into the role of Women’s Ministry Coordinator who is in charge of all of the ministry aspects of the Lady Eagles. She has a strong passion to see the women of the team grow spiritually.  She is currently working on her Masters of Counseling at Gordn-Conwell Theological Seminary.

Helping Katie will be Shannon O’Brien. Shannon has been a strong believer and supporter in the Lady Eagles for years, both as a goalkeeper (2002-2005) and as a coach (2008-2010). Shannon played collegiately at the University of Arizona and currently lives in Charlotte with her husband and former Charlotte Eagles’ player Kevin, and their daughter Keeley. The combination of Katie and Shannon will in be help push the goalkeepers to the next level.
