JASON SURRELL
Women's Head Coach
: 2000 - Present
With 6 GSAC Coach of the Year awards in 8 seasons, it's safe to say Jason Surrell has elevated Azusa Pacific into an NAIA soccer power. In his 8 years at the helm, Surrell has guided the Cougars to all 8 national tournaments, where they have made 7 quarterfinal appearances, 5 semifinals appearances, and 3 times advanced to the national title game, including back-to-back NAIA runner-up finishes the past 2 years.
In 2007, Surrell posted his second consecutive 20-win campaign, advancing to the NAIA title game for the second straight season. After suffering an early-season 1-0 road defeat to Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) in a rematch of the 2006 national title game, Azusa Pacific reeled off a 16-game winning streak that landed them right back in the national title game. Along the way, the Cougars picked up their sixth GSAC title in the past 8 years, posting just the third perfect 10-0 conference mark in GSAC history, along with the program's fifth NAIA Region II championship during the same time period. The 16th win of the streak was an emotional 2-1 win over Lindsey Wilson, ending the Blue Raiders' back-to-back title hopes and sending Azusa Pacific back to the NAIA championship final for the third time under Surrell. Four Cougars earned NAIA All-Tournament recognition, with Theresa Broad claiming the Tournament's Offensive MVP award. In addition, 5 players earned NAIA All-American recognition, and 6 were named to the All-GSAC team, including GSAC Player of the Year Randie Massro.
