Tracy Custer has been charged with the task of building the new NAU soccer program. And fortunately for Lumberjack fans, she has the experience to answer the challenge, despite her youth. Custer arrived in Flagstaff after spending two years as an assistant coach at the University of Mississippi. The Rebels were also in their first year of existence when Custer arrived on the scene. She will put that experience to good use by repeating the task, this time as the head coach. 

After receiving her bachelor's degree in kinesiology from Washington State in 1995, Custer joined the Lady Rebels coaching staff under Steve Holeman. She assisted Holeman in all phases of the program. Custer's prior coaching experience came from several club teams and soccer camps throughout the Pacific Northwest, dating back to 1987. 

During her collegiate career, Custer was a four-year letterwinner as a defender at WSU. She is among the school's leaders in matches played and was ranked in the top 10 in career starts. Her Cougar team reached the NCAA Sweet 16 her senior year. Custer was named to the Washington State All-Academic team from 1992-95. 

Custer was born in San Francisco, Calif., but grew up in Boise, Idaho. She has an older brother, Troy (26) and two younger brothers, Ross (14) and Brandon (12). One of her hobbies is skydiving. 

 Scott Reynolds enters his second year as the Lumberjacksí assistant coach, serving as the goalkeepers coach. Reynolds made the coaching jump to the NCAA level last August, bringing a variety of coaching experience to the brand-new varsity program. He spent much time working with the young goalkeepers, then-freshmen Autumn Cummins and Heather Lindahl, and now has the challenge of continuing to develop Cummins while also teaching the collegiate game to new arrivals Katie Maxwell and Erin Beckman.
 Since coming to Arizona, Reynolds has been involved with the Arizona Olympic Development Program (ODP) staff and has served as an instructor for ìDî, ìEî and ìFî coaching courses.

 In 1996, he was a coach for the Under-13 girls and assistant coach for the Under-19 girls of the Les Bois United Soccer Club, where he helped develop current Lumberjack players Danielle Weissbeck and Trina Green.  Prior to that he worked for the Idaho ODP, where he was responsible for all phases of training for boys and girls Under-14 to Under-18 teams.
 Reynolds spent time as a coach at a variety of camps and clinics, dating back to 1995. He continued to enhance his own coaching abilities this past summer by assisting with the NAU skills camp.
 He holds a United States Soccer Federation ìBî coaching license and a USSF National Youth License.
 Reynolds was graduated from Boise State in 1996 with a bachelorís degree in physical education with an emphasis on health promotion and exercise science.

 Sarah Comeaux embarks on her first season as a graduate assistant coach at NAU. She joined the Lumberjack staff in the spring after earning her bachelorís degree in exercise science from Mississippi in December, 1997 and spending the 1997 season as a student assistant for the Lady Rebels.
 Comeaux had a successful two-year stint as a charter member of the Ole Miss program, which began in 1995 under head coach Steve Holeman and then-assistant Tracy Custer. Comeaux was the teamís leading scorer in each of her two seasons in Oxford, tallying a second-team All-Southeastern Conference nod at forward in 1996.
