Katie Greenberg joined Purdue for the start of the 2015 spring semester, making the move to West Lafayette after also serving on Drew Roff's coaching staff at Illinois State. The 2019 campaign will be her fifth with the Boilermakers. She came to Purdue as Katie Baumgardner and married Dan Greenberg in January 2018.
Greenberg spent three seasons as an assistant at ISU from 2012 to 2014. She played collegiately at Ohio State and saw action at goalkeeper in Purdue-OSU games at Folk Field in 2008, 2010 and 2011. Along with coaching the goalkeepers, she also serves as the coordinator of Purdue's youth camps.
The Boilermakers won a decade-high 10 games and returned to the Big Ten Tournament in 2017. Greenberg helped bring a talented freshman class to campus and the group was a big part of the greatest turnaround season in program history. Purdue won six more games than 2016 while conceding 11 fewer goals (in two additional games). Goalkeeper Katie Luce started the first 16 games of the season, becoming only the third freshman in program history to be a full-time starter at keeper. She helped the Boilermakers win seven times in shutout fashion, a team-high total since 2007.
Purdue did not surrender a goal at home for 470 consecutive minutes from Aug. 21 through Oct. 12. The home shutout streak was the longest in program history.
Freshmen made a combined 109 starts for Purdue in 2017. That group included players from Chicagoland, Ohio, Michigan and Ontario. Along with a first-year goalkeeper, the Boilermakers found success with two freshman center backs. Sarah Clark and Maya Lambert were among the most consistent players on the field all season. Midfielder Kylie Hase started all 19 games and was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week twice. Clark and Luce represented Purdue on the Big Ten All-Freshman Team.
Defensively in 2016, goalkeepers Jordan Ginther (12 starts) and Erika Yohn (5) both made saves on penalty kicks to limit the opposition to a 1-for-4 showing on penalties. Ginther made a save on a PK among her career-high 11 saves in the overtime loss at Rutgers. It was the most saves by a Boilermaker since 2008. Yohn made a career-high nine saves at No. 4 West Virginia in a return trip to her hometown.
The defense did what it could in 2016, but ultimately injuries led to a snakebitten season for Purdue. Injuries sidelined the team's top two goal scoring threats for portions of the campaign. The Boilermakers did rally to defeat Cincinnati in overtime, but they were otherwise 0-8-1 when the opposition scored first. The five overtime games were Purdue's most since 2012 (six).
In Greenberg's first season as an assistant coach with the Boilermakers, goalkeepers Yohn (13 starts) and Ginther (5) both saw their fair share of action protecting the net. Ginther led Purdue to a scoreless draw against nationally ranked Rutgers team that went on to qualify for the NCAA College Cup. It was Purdue's first scoreless draw since September 2010. Yohn started the first six games of the year and then the first six Big Ten games. She was back in goal for the shutout win at Indiana in the season finale, the Boilermakers' first win in Bloomington since 2009.
Greenberg helped Illinois State win three consecutive Missouri Valley Conference Tournament championships and qualify for the NCAA Tournament all three years she was an assistant. She was recognized as part of the MVC Coaching Staff of the Year in 2013 and 2014 after winning regular-season conference titles both years.
Highlighted by a 16-0 mark against MVC rivals those seasons, the Redbirds compiled an overall record of 46-18-5 from 2012 to 2014. Along with winning the Missouri Valley's Fair Play Award twice, Illinois State also had a host of individuals honored from 2012 to 14. Rachel Tejada was a four-time MVC Player of the Year award winner and one of three Redbirds to win MVC Freshman of the Year honors during ISU's streak of four straight NCAA Tournament appearances. Greenberg also coached Aryn Newsom to Goalkeeper of the Year accolades in 2013 after the junior compiled a 0.33 goals against average in league play.
Greenberg helped lead Ohio State to a share of the Big Ten title in 2010 and an appearance in the national semifinals at the NCAA College Cup. She was the starting goalkeeper as OSU posted shutouts against St. Francis (Pa.), Dayton and Georgetown in the NCAA Tournament that year. She was named to the College Cup All-Tournament Team after making 10 saves in a 1-0 loss to a Notre Dame team that went on to win the national title. The Sterling, Virginia, native started every game as a senior in 2011 as the Buckeyes advanced to the sweet sixteen round of the NCAA Tournament.
Greenberg has served as an assistant on the club level with the GK 1 Goalkeeper Academy and Worthington Crew Juniors, both of Columbus, Ohio, and the Fusion Soccer Club of Normal, Illinois.
She holds a USSF National “B” License and earned a master’s degree in sport psychology from Illinois State.
