Jessica Nei was named an assistant coach of the University of New Hampshire women’s soccer program in the summer of 2025.
Nei previously served as the associate head coach at Northwestern State for the past two seasons. At NSU, she mentored multiple student-athletes to Southland Conference regular season and postseason honors, while in her first complete year with the program the team’s RPI moved up 100 spots and NSU’s overall goals scored doubled.
Prior to NSU, Nei was an associate head coach at North Dakota. She contributed to a team that more than doubled its win total in both the overall and conference seasons in her first full season. Nei aided in guiding the Fighting Hawks to their second conference postseason appearance in the Division I era in 2022.
Before her time at UND, she was at Wyoming for a season, where she primarily coached the midfielders and goalkeepers.
Nei came to Wyoming after a five-year stint at Toledo from 2015-21, where she was the recruiting coordinator and responsible for the defenders and goalkeepers. The Rockets won a MAC conference tournament championship and earned a trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2017. While with the Rockets, she coached a player who played in the Olympics & Women's World Cup.
She was hired at Toledo following a successful stint at Arkansas State from 2011-14. While with the RedWolves, she coached starting goalkeepers to the lowest goals against average in school history (1.19), fewest goals allowed (11) and most wins (8). As an assistant at ASU, she helped guide the school to its first winning seasons in school history in her second and third years with the program.
In 2012, Nei earned the Assistant Coach Spirit Award for recognizing outstanding service, commitment to excellence, going above and beyond expectations in advancement of the Arkansas State athletic department.
Nei started her coaching career as an assistant coach at St. Cloud State (2008-10), where she was a part of a program that posted 28 victories, recording its first winning conference season in school history and first winning record in 13 seasons.
As a student-athlete, Nei was a goalkeeper for North Dakota State (2003-07) and helped the Bison post 46 victories.
Nei graduated from North Dakota State in 2008 as a Physical Education and Health Education major, while she earned her Master’s degree in Recreation and Leisure Administration from Toledo in 2016.
