Antonio Gracia is in his first year with the Cal State Bakersfield women's soccer program in Spring of 2026. He serves the Roadrunners as an Assistant Coach.
Gracia arrived in Bakersfield following his time at the University of Nebraska Kearney, where he served as Assistant Coach, Goalkeeper Coach, and Recruiting Coordinator. During his tenure, he helped guide the program to one of the most successful stretches in school history, including achieving the second-most wins in a two-season span. He also played a key role in the development of multiple all-conference and all-region honorees while overseeing all goalkeeper training, recruiting operations, and scouting analysis.
Prior to Nebraska Kearney, Gracia spent time at Eastern Oregon University as a graduate assistant coach working with both the men’s and women’s programs. There, he contributed to postseason appearances for both teams and helped the women’s program achieve one of the top defensive records in school history.
In addition to his collegiate experience, Gracia has worked as a goalkeeper coach with 402 Development Academy, where he trains and mentors goalkeepers across multiple age groups and has contributed to State Cup-winning teams.
A former student-athlete at Eastern Oregon, Gracia earned both his bachelor’s degree in business administration and a Master of Business Administration in Marketing. He also holds a USC Goalkeeping Level 3 certification and brings strong expertise in analytics, film analysis, and player development.
