Dave Riggert sat down with former Missouri Western women's soccer coach Chad Edwards on Wednesday. Edwards opens up about his decision to leave MWSU and pursue a career in aviation.

Edwards spent nine seasons as the head coach of the Griffons and is the all-time winningest coach in program history with 74 victories. He turned a young program around as the upward swing began in year-four when the Griffons improved their overall win total by seven games and their MIAA win total by six games, making the postseason for the first time in program history and beginning a string of five-straight appearances.

In 2015, Edwards led Missouri Western to its first-ever winning season. Two years later, he led MWSU to its first-ever appearance in the NCAA postseason. The 2017 Griffons finished as the MIAA regular season and postseason runners-up to eventual national champion Central Missouri. That 2017 team also set program records for wins, points, goals and assists in a season along with multiple individual records and 10 All-MIAA honors.
