PLNU Athletics

Amanda Schindler will be in her fifth season as an assistant coach with the Point Loma women's soccer program in 2017. She serves in many roles with the Sea Lions including scouting, recruiting, strategy and conditioning.
 
During her four seasons with PLNU, the Sea Lions are 48-21-6 and have made the playoffs three of the four season. She helped guide Point Loma to back-to-back PacWest Championships and NCAA West Regional appearances in 2014 and 2015. She also was an integral part of the coaching staff when PLNU reached the NCCAA semifinals in 2013.
 
In 2014 and 2015, Point Loma went 22-2-1 in PacWest play, and set the league record with a streak of eight straight shutouts and an 818:20-minute scoreless streak during conference play. She has been a part of a coaching staff on a team that scored the PacWest's first-ever goal in the NCAA West Regional and allowed PLNU to dominate the PacWest awards. Ariel Oriarte has won back-to-back Goalie of the Year Awards (2014 & 2015), Keagan Bolibol (2015) and Sami Swanson (2014) took home Freshman of the Year, and Pearce (2015) and Matthews (2014) captured Defender of the Year.
 
Schindler played her collegiate ball at Point Loma, but her career was cut short in due to the impact of concussions. She was an All-GSAC performer as a freshman as she scored seven goals and assisted on seven others. She finished her career with 38 points and 13 goals. She graduated from Point Loma in 2010 with a degree in Nursing.
 
Amanda was married in the summer of 2015 to Eric Schindler, and the couple had their first child, Jaxon, in January of 2017.
