MARIETTA, Ohio — Marietta College head women's soccer coach Zack Votra announced the hiring of Cody Kibler as the Pioneers' new assistant women's soccer coach. Kibler replaces Daniella Blitz who is moving on to begin a graduate degree.
 
Kibler comes to Marietta from Bethany College where he spent the last two seasons coaching their women's soccer team, including as interim head coach during the 2024 campaign. He helped the Bison to an 8-7-3 record in 2024 and an appearance in the President's Athletic Conference tournament.
 
"We're thrilled to add Cody to our staff," said Votra. "He brings a wealth of knowledge and is going to be a fantastic asset to our team on the training pitch, and he's already hit the ground running on the recruiting front."
 
Prior to his time at Bethany, Kibler was an assistant head coach at Mariner High School in Cape Coral, Florida. He helped lead the team to six consecutive district championships, five regional finals, two state semi-finals, and a state finalist position. He has also spent the last two seasons as the head coach for the Mid-City Lions Girls U19 team out of Atlanta, Georgia, bringing home the team's first-ever U.S. Club Soccer National Championship.
 
Kibler is a 2015 graduate of the University of Florida, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology.
