Faith Bicknell
is the first full-time assistant women’s soccer
coach in Wingate University’s history. She was
hired in August of 2008. Faith (Joslin) Bicknell
is no stranger to the Bulldogs. She played two
seasons (2000, 2001) at Wingate before
transferring to Georgia Southern University where
she played her remaining two seasons for the
Eagles.
Bicknell was a strong asset scoring eight goals
and adding seven assists for the 2000 Bulldogs,
helping Wingate to a then-school record (tying) 11
victories. She scored three match-winning goals
for the 2000 Wingate team, tallying two goals in a
match three times. In 2001, Bicknell scored four
goals and added three assists as the Bulldogs set
a then-school record with 12 wins in a season.
At GSU, she helped the 2002 Eagles finish third in
the tough Southern Conference with 12 victories.
In 2003, she served as a team captain for the GSU
Eagles. Bicknell earned a Bachelor of Science
degree in nursing from Georgia Southern in the
fall of 2004. She worked two years as a registered
nurse at Duke University Medical Center and one
year at Anderson (S.C.) Medical Center before
accepting the position at Wingate University.
“Faith is a tremendous addition to our coaching
staff,” Wingate head coach Gary Curneen
says. “She understands the South Atlantic
Conference and what it takes to succeed in our
league and our region. Her work ethic and her
insights will be crucial to our future successes.”
Bicknell is also involved in volunteer activities.
She made a medical mission trip with the Christian
Medical/Dental Association to Zambia, Africa in
the spring of 2006. While in Zambia, she helped
her team provide free medical care to more than
2000 people in two weeks. In addition, Bicknell
has been involved with Operation Christmas Child
and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. She is a member of
the Chi Omega fraternity.
Bicknell is married to former Bulldog baseball
student-athlete Toby Bicknell. He earned a
bachelor’s degree in Physical Education from
Wingate University in 2002. Toby Bicknell is an
assistant baseball coach at Davidson College.
