EVANSTON, Ill. – Northwestern women's soccer has hired Reaghan Duval as assistant coach, the program announced on Wednesday.
"We are thrilled to add Reaghan to our staff," head coach Michael Moynihan said. "She will be working closely with our goalkeepers and they will benefit from her passion for the position as well as her own experience as a college athlete. She has already completed the highest levels of licensing for coaching goalkeepers in the U.S. and brings a wealth of knowledge. We have a very talented group of goalkeepers and I look forward to seeing them develop under her guidance. Beyond goalkeeping, it became clear to us very quickly that Reaghan shares the same values we focus on in our program. She will be a great role model for all of our student athletes and she will help bring out the best in everyone around her."
A Goshen, N.Y. native, Duval comes to Northwestern from Robert Morris, where she served as the first assistant and goalkeepers coach. In her lone season with RMU, Duval led the Colonials to many program firsts. The Colonials earned their second-straight top four conference finish, hosted a Horizon League Tournament Quarterfinal match for the second-straight year–defeating IU Indy, advanced to the Horizon League Tournament Semifinals for the second time in as many seasons, all program firsts.
Duval's goalkeeping unit posted five shutouts, a 1.58 goals against average, and a .764 save percentage. Graduate student goalkeeper Brenna Murray was named to the 2024 Horizon League All-Tournament Team, received the 2024 Horizon League Women's Soccer Sportsmanship Award, received the Horizon League Sportsmanship Award for all sports, and earned a prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Internship for the 2025-2026 cohort.
In addition to her duties at RMU, Duval is a Goalkeeper Academy coach for the ECNL Pittsburgh Riverhounds Development Academy. This past summer, Duval had the opportunity to work for the Pittsburgh Riveters as the assistant goalkeeper coach in their inaugural season of the USL-W League. The Riveters currently sit atop the table and are in position to win the Great Forest Division. Last summer, Duval was the Assistant Goalkeeper Coach for the Greenville Liberty in the USL-W League, located in Greenville, S.C.
Prior to Duval's arrival in Moon Township, she served as the graduate assistant goalkeepers coach at Lenoir-Rhyne (N.C.). In 2023, the Bears clinched the South Atlantic Conference Regular Season Championship, the South Atlantic Conference Tournament Championship, as well as the NCAA Southeast Regional Championship. Her goalkeeping unit posted 12 clean sheets, a .81 goals against average, and a .756 save percentage. Duval and the rest of the Lenoir-Rhyne staff earned United Soccer Coaches Southeast Regional Staff of the Year honors.
As a student-athlete, Duval attended Campbell, where she appeared in 38 matches, tallying seven shutouts, recording a 1.13 goals against average and a .765 save percentage. During her junior season, the Camels won the 2020-21 Big South Tournament Championship, earning the league's automatic bid into the 2021 NCAA Women's Soccer Tournament. In her senior season, the Camels claimed the 2021 Big South Regular Season Champions. Duval wrapped up her career with one final season at D'Youville University (N.Y.), where she was named a United States Collegiate Athletic Association Second-Team All-American.
Duval received her Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sports Science from Campbell University in 2022 while graduating Cum Laude. In May 2025, Duval also graduated with her Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership from Lenoir-Rhyne University.
Currently, Duval holds a USSF D License and a United Soccer Coaches Advanced National Goalkeeping Diploma. She will be looking to pursue both her USSF C Field Player and USSF C Goalkeeping Licenses in the near future.
