Director, Allison Gibson

Allison Gibson completed her fourth season with the Bengals earning her second Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year award after advancing Idaho State to the championship game of the 2009 Big Sky tournament.  She led the Bengals to its sixth Big Sky tournament appearance after the Bengals tied for third in the regular season with a 10-8-0 record.  In her first season with the Bengals, Gibson reestablished the soccer tradition at Idaho State, leading the Bengals to both a Big Sky Conference regular season title and a tournament championship. The tournament title earned the Bengals an automatic bid to the NCAA College Cup, where the team nearly upset 11th-ranked Utah on its home field, falling 3-2 in double overtime.

Under Gibson's direction, 16 Bengals landed spots on the All-Conference First and Second place teams including 2009 Freshman of the Year Ashley Jones.  Idaho State has also had 12 players earn honorable mention. Eight Bengals have earned places on the Big Sky All-Tournament team.  Gibson earned her first Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year for her accomplishments during the 2006 season and has had one of her players, Lyndsay Gensler, earn Big Sky Tournament MVP in 2006.

She came to Idaho State after a five-year stint as the top assistant at the University of San Francisco of the West Coast Conference, considered one of the nation's best soccer conferences. Gibson also serves as the head coach of the Region IV Olympic Development Program’s U-14 Regional Team.


Gibson played college soccer at Sonoma State University, where she was a two time All-American selection. Later, she went on to play professionally in Japan for three seasons with the Fujita Mercury before returning to the United States, where she worked as the Director of Coaching of the Youth Girls for the Colorado Rush Soccer Club in Denver.


Allison graduated from Sonoma State in 1995 with a bachelor's degree in kinesiology, and she earned her master's in 2004 from the University of San Francisco in organization and leadership. She holds a United States Soccer Federation "A" coaching license.

She sits atop numerous single season and career records at ISU and holds the career record for most minutes played (5,624), most wins (32), and total shutouts (19).

In her time at Idaho State Boyle saw the Bengals earn three-straight Big Sky Conference Tournament Titles. She was named the Big Sky Tournament MVP in 2002 when she helped lead the Bengals to a Big Sky Conference tournament title as she posted a shutout against Portland State when the Bengals defeated the Vikings 1-0 in overtime.

In 2003, Boyle would lead the Bengals to its third straight title as she posted two shutouts during the Big Sky Conference Tournament to capture the title for Idaho State.
