CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi athletic department announced the transition of
Craig Shaw to Associate AD for Business Operations, who will step down from his role as the head women's soccer coach.
Shaw transitions to Associate AD for Business Operations after leading the Islanders Women's Soccer program for the past seven years. He steps away after becoming the winningest coach in Islanders soccer history with a total of 46 wins at the helm as well as amassing over 150 victories in his 16 seasons as a collegiate soccer coach.
"Craig has led our women's soccer program to unprecedented success," said vice president of intercollegiate athletics Adrian Rodriguez. "I look forward to his leadership in the business office as we look to continue the success we have experienced in Islanders Athletics."
Shaw assumes his new role immediately and will oversee the business operations of the athletic department that has seen record success over the past two years. The Islanders have won 16 Southland Conference Championships, two Southland Conference Women's All-Sports Awards and two Academic Performance Awards. The department has also had record breaking revenue generation in corporate partnerships and ticket sales.
"I am very excited about this next chapter to join this amazing administration and continuing to help student-athletes and coaches reach their goals, while using my MBA," Shaw said. "I will miss my time on the pitch but take comfort in knowing the program is in a really good place."
He and his wife, Alexandra, have two daughters, Victoria and Elizabeth, and a son named Henry.
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi will begin a national search for its next head women's soccer coach.
