Tony Savoy’s connection with SVC soccer goes back to 1992-94 as a player, men's assistant in 2000-01 and 2005-06, and women’s head coach in 2016. 
 
When Coach Savoy took the helm of the women’s team, the program was struggling to establish a winning season and advance to post season play. The team’s last winning seasons were in 2008 and 1997. Among the highlights of the team’s turnaround are these accomplishments:
 

• 2017: Placed 3^rd in the North Division, qualified for the playoffs, but lost to Spokane.
• 2019: Placed 3^rd in the North Division and won at Portland to advance to the quarter finals, but lost in overtime at Walla Walla.
• 2020: COVID-19
• 2021: The spring season had no playoffs, but the Cardinals finished 2^nd in the region. 
• 2021: In the fall season, the team finished 2nd and hosted a playoff game and won against Spokane, but lost to Clark.
• The Cardinals made the NWAC Coaches’ Poll at #8, moved up to #6, and finished at #5.
• The team had six All-Star selections for 1^st Team: Bri Yamada, Amber Elliano, Cassie Mullin, Hannah Esson, Mackenzie Carnell, and Delany Kaysner. In addition, three players received Honorable Mention: Bonnie Martin, Ashley Thomas, and Sierrah Esson.
