Daugherty also coached at Elmhurst College, as well as at the high school, club and Olympic Development Program levels.

"I am very excited to join the staff and program here at Mizzou," Daugherty said. "Everything about this program is top-notch from the facilities to the people in the athletic department to the girls on the team and in Coach Blitz. I would like to thank Bryan for this great opportunity and I am looking forward to contributing to the strong winning tradition that is Mizzou Soccer."
