Christina (CC) Cobb, a former standout midfielder from the University of Tennessee, enters her third year with Wagner Athletics as an assistant coach with the women’s soccer team.
Cobb brings an experienced coaching resume to Grymes Hill, having served as an assistant at the University of Tennessee Soccer Camp, American Heritage HS, and for the FC Alliance and Grandview Preparatory School. She was also an administrator for the Tennessee Olympic Development Program.
Since coming to Wagner, she has coached youth teams for both Staten Island United and Cedar Stars Academy. She is heavily involved in the community and has started several clinics for youth players in the area. In addition to her responsibilities in the Athletic Department, she is pursuing her Master’s Degree in Business Administration.
The Boca Raton, FL native played two seasons at Florida State University (FSU) before completing her education at the University of Tennessee, where she competed for the Volunteers during her junior and senior seasons.
"I am very happy that CC is joining our coaching staff," said reigning 2014 Northeast Conference (NEC) Head Coach of the Year, Mike Minielli. “She has played at a very high level in Division I and her experience and coaching ability will be a great benefit to our players. CC has the right personality and drive to be a successful coach and we are absolutely looking forward to working with her."
During her freshman campaign at FSU, Cobb finished second in her class in points and in her sophomore season she was a member of the Seminoles' 2011 ACC Championship team, where she came up big in the title game against Wake Forest, converting the second penalty kick opportunity in the shootout to give FSU a 2-1 lead en route to claiming its first conference championship in school history. The Seminoles advanced to the Final Four and were ranked in the top five nationally in both of her years in Tallahassee.
During her successful stint at the University of Tennessee, Cobb was a recipient of the Scholar Athlete Award following her senior season.
