Sean Mapson joined the staff as an assistant coach in January of 2023 and is in his first season with the Ducks.
Mapson came to Oregon after helping Idaho become one of the top defensive teams nationally. The Vandals ranked 18th in the country in goals-against average in 2022 (0.65). That season, Idaho went 12-3-3 and advanced to the Big Sky Conference Tournament championship game before falling to Northern Arizona on penalty kicks.
Individually, goalkeeper Kira Witte was named the 2022 Big Sky Goalkeeper of the Year and the Big Sky Freshman of the Year after leading the nation with 13 shutouts, including 10 in a row at one point.
