Meagan Ryan was named the ninth Head Coach in the history of the Post University Women's Soccer program in February 2025.

Ryan came to Post after spending the last two seasons as an Assistant Coach for the Women's Soccer program at the University of Illinois Chicago. During her time there, the Flames made it to a pair of Missouri Valley Conference Tournament Semifinals games, while she was responsible primarily for building and enhancing the team's development plan as well as film review for players. She was also in charge of building relationships with local club teams to help strengthen UIC's recruitment pipeline, create scouting reports, and assisting training sessions with the team.

A 2018 graduate of Roanoke College, Ryan played four season's on the college's Women's Soccer team, playing in 72 games as a midfielder and scoring five goals while adding 12 assists and totaling 22 points before graduating with a Bachelor's of Science in Sports Management. After graduating, she would get her start in coaching as an Assistant Coach at Auburn University at Montgomery where she spent a season working with the Gulf South Conference's leading scorer in Ruby Mendez while also creating scouting reports, leading film sessions, individual sessions, and team sessions. 

While Ryan returned to her alma mater in Roanoke College to be an Assistant Coach for three seasons, helping leading the Maroons from a 7-6-4 record to a 13-6-1 record in 2019, she would also take over as the Head Varsity Coach of Salem High School for three years as well in that same stretch before her next gig at Eastern Kentucky University in 2021.

At Eastern Kentucky, Ryan spent the next year as a Forward Positional Coach, helping the team nearly double their goal scoring from the spring to the fall season of 2021. That fall, she trained what would be the program's first-ever Atlantic Sun Conference Freshman of the Year, Nerea de Diego, who went on to be called up to the U19 Spanish National Team and helped the program reach their first-ever Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament Semifinal that season as well. 

Before heading to UIC, Ryan headed to Auburn University for a year as a Graduate Assistant where she assisted in the day-to-day operations of the program which included practice planning, managing field set up, film analysis, and developmental planning for current and prospective athletes. She is currently finishing up her Master of Adult Education from Auburn University with an anticipated graduation date for this year.
