Texas A&M soccer legend and 10-year NWSL veteran Alyssa (Mautz) Bower enters her fifth season as an Aggie assistant coach in 2026.
Bower announced her retirement from the Chicago Red Stars the end of July 2022 and joined the Texas A&M staff days later. After spending the first four years with longtime Aggie skipper G Guerrieri, Bower committed to the program’s future, remaining on staff to work with new head coach Bobby Shuttleworth.
As NWSL celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2022, Bower was recognized as one of the Original 21, honoring the players who saw action every season of the league's existence. Entering her final campaign, she ranked 18th on the NWSL list for career matches played. Her 11-year professional career included one season with Sky Blue FC of Women's Professional Soccer followed by the 10-year stint with Chicago Red Stars. She logged 142 caps with the Red Stars, including 85 starts. Her career numbers included 17 goals and eight assists.
Bower was a star for the Aggies from 2008-10 after transferring from Saint Louis University. She played 67 matches for the Maroon & White, logging 52 points on 21 goals and 10 assists. Bower earned All-Big 12 Second Team as a junior followed by All-Big 12 First Team and Big 12 All-Tournament Team recognition as a senior.
Her playing days included international stints with US Soccer national teams, winning the 2008 Women's U20 World Cup in Chile and spending time with the US Soccer U23 squad. Bower had four stints playing professionally overseas, including nine matches with FK Zorkiy Krasnogorsk in Russia, as well as Australian campaigns with Perth Glory (two seasons) and Adelaide United (one season).
The O'Fallon, Missouri, native dipped her toes in the coaching profession when she served as a student assistant for the Aggies' 2014 College Cup campaign. Texas A&M went 22-3-2 that season, earning the SEC regular-season and tournament crowns. Bower completed her bachelor's degree for health & kinesiology in 2015.
