Stephanie Gordon was promoted to head coach on December 16, 2021. She originally joined the staff at AIC as an assistant coach for women's soccer on January 16, 2018. 

In her time as an assistant coach, Gordon's impact on the team’s defensive play has been readily apparent. AIC’s team goals allowed has dropped in each of her seasons, from 1.68 goals per game in 2018 to 1.12 in 2021. That follows from a decrease in shots allowed, which has fallen from 5.84 per game in 2018 to 4.71 in 2021.
 
Under her tutelage, seven student-athletes have earned Northeast-10 All-Conference honors in the previous three seasons, along with five New England Women’s Intercollegiate Soccer Association All-New England and one United Soccer Coaches All-East Region honors.

A native of Rockland, Massachusetts, Gordon has spent her entire collegiate soccer career playing and coaching in the Bay State. She spent the 2008 and 2009 seasons at Northeastern University, where she went 24-12-4 with 13 shutouts and posted a .824 save percentage, helping lead the Huskies to a Colonial Athletic Association Tournament Championship in 2008, where she was named to the All-Tournament Team. The team earned a conference regular-season title the following year, with Gordon receiving Second-Team All-CAA honors. She transferred to the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and played for the Minutemen in 2011 and 2012, graduating from the University with a bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013.

After graduating, she began her coaching career, starting as an assistant with Simmons College in 2014 before returning to her alma mater as assistant coach from 2015 through the 2017 season. She earned a United Soccer Coaches (then NSCAA) National Diploma and Goalkeeper Diploma in June 2014.
