Brandon Boren enters his third season as a full-time assistant coach on the Northwest women’s soccer staff, following a historic season in 2024 that saw the Lady Rangers capture the program’s first national title.
Boren previously served with Beattie’s staff as a volunteer assistant coach during the 2022 season, helping the Lady Rangers to a 15-2-3 overall record and the program’s first-ever at-large bid to the NJCAA Division II Women’s Soccer Championship tournament in Tucson, Ariz. For their efforts, Boren and the rest of Beattie’s staff earned Coaching Staff of the Year from the MACCC and Women’s Junior College Division II Mid-South Region Staff of the Year by the United Soccer Coaches organization.
Boren helped the Lady Rangers repeat their success in 2023, as Northwest sported a 21-2 overall record, while also earning the program’s first-ever 20-win season. Additionally, the Lady Rangers captured their first NJCAA Region 23 Championship, a share of the MACCC championship and a repeat appearance in the NJCAA Division II Women’s Soccer Championship tournament.
In 2024, Boren and Northwest had the best season yet, finishing the year with a 22-0 overall record and the NJCAA Division II national championship. The Lady Rangers also captured MACCC and NJCAA Region 23 titles along the way.
In his previous three seasons on Beattie’s staff, Boren has helped develop 18 four-year players, including several NCAA Division I student-athletes. Some of the most notable Lady Rangers’ coached by Boren include Yaritza Trejo (Ole Miss), Penny Warner (Southern Illinois), Anna Kathryn Harrell (Central Arkansas), Evie Crawford (Jacksonville State), Raylin Dixon (Jacksonville State), Amaya Andrews (Jackson State), Jennifer Enriquez (UT Martin), Malaesha Liddell (UT Martin) and Melinda Hernandez (Little Rock).
Boren’s other coaching experience includes serving as a volunteer assistant for the soccer program at Hernando High School during the 2021-22 season. He also worked with DeSoto F.C. from 2021-23. As a player, Boren competed as a forward at Mississippi Gulf Coast from 2019-21, helping the Bulldogs to a second-place finish in the MACJC as a freshman. An ACL injury sidelined him during his sophomore season, ending his playing career.
Boren holds an Associate of Science degree from MGCCC and is a native of Hernando. He earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Memphis and his USSF D License in the spring of 2024.
