Head Coach Richard Romain-Dika continues to build Bellevue women’s soccer into a powerhouse. Recently his strongest season ever was in 2024 with an NWAC runner-up finish in 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2025 marked his tenth year as the Head Women’s Soccer Coach for Bellevue College. He has been one of the department’s strongest recruiters and has catapulted Bellevue’s women’s program into the playoffs on an annual basis. Romain-Dika earned NWAC Coach of the Year honors for the North Region in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain-Dika is also building a strong resume of player development, with an increase in Bulldog soccer players receiving four-year university offers including Isabella Marquart, now at Oregon State University, and Kayleigh Acree at Southern Utah University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the covid-shortened 2021 spring (original 2020 fall season), the Bulldogs reached new heights by claiming the West Region title, going undefeated at 7-0-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, the Bulldogs finished 11-2-1 in league and 14-4-1 overall. The squad made it to the final eight after winning their opening round match up against Spokane, winning 2-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain-Dika is a familiar face at Bellevue College. He was an NWAC all-star for the Bulldog men’s soccer team in 2005 and 2006, leading Bellevue to the finals during his sophomore season. Romain-Dika was fourth overall in scoring as a sophomore, netting 15 goals for the ‘dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was on staff for the Cameroon Women’s National Team for the World Cup held in Canada.  Romain-Dika recently completed his master’s degree in Intercollegiate Athletic Leadership at the University of Washington, and also has a B.S. in Business Administration from Eastern Washington University. He formerly coached in the Eastside FC youth soccer program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Annacy was born and raised in the Bay Area in California. She played competitively through high school and continued to play at UC Davis while earning a Bachelor in Human Development. Annacy spent eight years (2010-2018) teaching at the high school level and coaching the girls high school soccer team at Tamalpais HS in Mill Valley, CA. She helped guide the Hawks to three league titles, four playoff appearances and two Northern California Sectional Championships.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annacy believes in coaching the whole player – from being challenged mentally on tactical awareness to being pushed physically before reaching that next level. She believes in developing the emotional\/mental aspect of a player’s game by helping them learn how to be a teammate and support a group with a common goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She moved to Washington state in 2019. She resides on the Eastside with her husband and two daughters. She currently coaches club soccer for Mercer Island FC and is involved in the EPD program. She joined Bellevue College’s staff in the fall of 2022 and is excited to continue to see growth in the players on the field and as people in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
