Dustin Stein enters his fifth season as assistant coach for the University of Pittsburgh's women’s soccer program and has been integral to the remarkable turnaround of the Panthers’ program.
The Panthers posted their second-straight 11-win season in 2021 with the help of Stein, finishing 11-7 overall with a 4-6 ACC mark. Pitt posted victories in each of its first five games for the second year in a row. With 12 ACC points, Pitt finished a program-best in the league standings by tying for ninth place. The Panthers also tied the school record for single-season wins set in 2021 as well as ACC wins set in '15. Pitt boasted a high-powered attack, outscoring the competition by a 41-22 count.
In 2020, Stein helped the Panthers to a school-record 11 wins despite playing two less games in the regular season than a traditional year due to the pandemic. Pitt earned its first-ever ranking in the United Soccer Coaches’ Poll at No. 12 on Sept. 22 and stayed in the poll for an additional week. The Panthers won their first six games of the season, the best start in program history. Pitt earned the record despite being on the road for five of the games, setting another school record for most wins away from home in a single-season.
In his second season, Pitt snapped a three-year winless streak (0-25-3) in ACC play with a 2-1 overtime win over Boston College that was followed by a 2-1 win over NC State, who went on to advance to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament.
Stein was integral in helping to secure two of the largest and most talented recruiting classes in program history in 2019 and '20 that have seen talented freshmen and transfers step in right away to raise the level of play never seen before for the program in the ACC.
Stein came to Pitt after five seasons as head coach of Eastfield College, where he was the winningest coach in program history.
While at Eastfield, his teams tallied 14 or more wins in each of his last three seasons and boasted a record of 42-12-3 in that stretch. Eastfield was among the top 10 NJCAA programs in each of the last three seasons as Stein was named the 2015 NJCAA Region 5 Division 3 Coach of the Year and the Metro Athletic Conference Coach of the Year.
Stein coached two NJCAA All-Americans, two NJCAA Region 5 MVPs, 13 all-conference first team honorees and 15 all-conference second team honorees.
A certified athletic trainer, Stein joined the FC Dallas staff in 2012 as a member of its medical team. In 2016, he was promoted to associate head coach of the FCD Women, working alongside Pitt associate head coach Ben Waldrum in the semi-professional women’s soccer league.
Stein and his wife, Alyssa, reside in Cranberry Township with their son, Brecken.
