Jeff Soderquist enters his 27th season at the helm of the women's basketball program at John Brown and has spent the previous 18 years as an assistant athletics director in the department.

As the winningest coach in program history, Soderquist currently holds an overall record of 395-398 (.498) and has guided the Golden Eagles to six trips to the NAIA National Championships in 2004, 2006, 2011, 2014, 2017 and 2023.

Soderquist has produced two players that paced the program record book in career points. From 2002-06 Kendra McCormick posted new program records in (1,793), free throws made (384) and offensive rebounds (241). More recently, from 2015-19, Baily Cameron was the first to ever break through the 2,000-point barrier and finished with 2,034 points and also set program records in total rebounds (881) and career scoring average (16.5 points per game).

In 2022-23, John Brown registered 20 wins for the sixth time under Soderquist and made its sixth appearance at the NAIA National Championships. Now under the new format of a single division, the Golden Eagle earned an at-large berth and promptly produced the tournament's largest First Round upset as the Golden Eagles knocked off No. 9 ranked Loyola (La.) on the Wolf Pack's home court.

In 2013-14, the women's basketball program pieced together 28 total victories and 15 wins in Sooner Athletic Conference play, both program records. JBU ended a 13-year drought against Oklahoma City, the eventual national champion, in the SAC tournament semifinals and made the program's first-ever appearance in the conference title game. At the National Championships, the Golden Eagles upended then-No. 1 Vanguard (Calif.) before completing an 18-point comeback in a narrow victory over Loyola (La.). JBU dispatched of Lyon (Ark.) in the Round of 32 to earn its first-ever win at the national tournament. John Brown's Fab Four finish marked the best finish in program history, and is currently the second-deepest national tournament run of any Golden Eagle athletic program.

The 2003-04 season was a banner year for JBU as Soderquist's squad won a then-program-record 21 games, earning him Sooner Athletic Conference Coach of the Year honors. Additionally, the Golden Eagles won 10 conference games, gave up a stingy 55.6 points per game and scored 2,207 total points, all previous program records.

The 2011 SAC Coach of Character graduated from JBU in 1993, spending two seasons as former head men's basketball coach John Sheehy's student assistant. Recruited by Sheldon Bassett to play for the men's program, Soderquist suffered a career-ending shoulder injury his freshman year forcing him to the sidelines. After graduation, he continued to assist Sheehy on the men's coaching staff for four seasons while also taking the helm of the men's tennis program.

In 1994, he was assigned duties as the sports information director before being named head women's basketball coach to start the 1997-98 season.

Soderquist and his wife, Amy, also a John Brown alumna, reside in Siloam Springs.
