Coach Rutter-
It's an honor to return to Ohio Christian University and lead the women's soccer program. I'm excited to build a culture that challenges our student-athletes to grow in their skills, strengthen their faith, and honor Christ in everything they do — on and off the field. With the support of my family and our church community, I look forward to investing in these young women and helping them become leaders who impact the world for Christ.
