Scott Atherley is the head coach of women's soccer at the University of Maine in Orono, Maine, where he is in his 28th season leading the program in 2026 and his 34th season overall as a head coach at the school.
Atherley has longstanding ties to Maine dating to 1984, when he arrived as a student-athlete. Since taking over the women's program, he has overseen one of the most successful stretches in school history. Maine won three straight America East tournament championships from 2023 through 2025 and reached the NCAA Tournament each season. The run made the Black Bears the first America East program since Boston University from 2009 to 2011 to capture three consecutive tournament titles, and only the third conference program to do so.
