Jenny Jaggard began her tenure as Westmont head coach in late March of 2019 after serving for the five years prior as an assistant coach at Chico State. During her first half-decade at the helm, Jaggard has led the Warriors to a 59-16-14 record (.742) and has won four conference championships.

In 2023, Jaggard helped the program transition into an NCAA Division II team competing in the PacWest Conference. In the first year of PacWest play, Westmont posted a record of 5-3-2 and had four Warriors named to All-PacWest teams.

In the final season of play in the NAIA (2022), Jaggard led the team to an undefeated 12-0-3 regular season and a GSAC regular season championship. The Warriors hosted the GSAC Tournament and claimed the conference tournament title with a 2-1 defeat of Ottawa (Ariz.) in the finals. The Warriors then flew to Lakeland, Florida for the NAIA Opening Round Tournament and defeated Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) 1-0 and Southeastern (Fla.) to advance to the NAIA Final Site in Orange Beach, Alal. The Warriors' season came to an end in the third round of the tournament with their first loss of the year at the hands of Aquinas (Mich.). Four Warriors were named to the All-GSAC team including Reese Davidson who was the GSAC Player of the Year.

Under Jaggard's leadership, the 2021 Warrior team was GSAC Regular Season Co-Championships with a record of 6-0-2. Westmont won the GSAC Tournament without winning a game. They tied The Master's 1-1 in the semifinals and advanced on PKs 5-4. Then in the championship game, the Warriors tied Hope International 2-2 and secured the title with a 5-4 advantage in PKs. In the NAIA Opening Round, the Warriors defeated Embry-Riddle (Ariz.) 2-1, then bested Marymount 5-0 to advance to the NAIA Final Site in Orange Beach. Westmont beat Cumberlands (Ky.) 3-1 in a third-round game, before losing in the national quarterfinals 3-1 to William Carey (Miss.). 

In her second season as head coach of the Warriors, Jaggard was faced with adversity not included in her job description: the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to COVID-19 protocols, the NAIA delayed fall sport championships to the spring, meaning the club's season opener would be pushed back nearly six months.

The Warriors were only able to take the field 12 times during the 2020 season, but took advantage when they did. Westmont went 6-0 during GSAC play, claiming the conference championship for the second time in as many years under Jaggard's leadership. A COVID-19 outbreak on the opposing team kept the GSAC Tournament championship game from being played and Westmont was awarded the GSAC's automatic berth to the NAIA National Championships. The Warriors lost to Oregon Tech in the first round. Five Warriors were named to the All-GSAC team.

In her first season as Westmont women's soccer head coach, Jaggard led the Warriors to a share of the Golden State Athletic Conference regular season championship, the program's first conference title since 2015, and into the NAIA National Championship. Though Westmont lost in the GSAC Tournament championship game, the Warriors were named as host of an NAIA Opening Round Tournament. The Warriors defeated Marymount 2-0 in the championship game to advance to the NAIA Final Site in Orange Beach. In the second round, the Warriors defeated Science and Arts (Okla.) before losing 2-1 to Keiser (Fla.) in the quarterfinals. Jaggard was named the GSAC Coach of the Year.  Six Warriors were named to the All-GSAC team including Bri Johnson, the GSAC Player of the Year.

"I am very excited to partner with Westmont College in its mission to provide the highest quality, Christian, liberal arts education possible to my student-athletes," said Jaggard when she was named the Warriors head coach. "Westmont's values, beliefs and educational philosophy are in perfect alignment with my personal life mission.
 
"I believe that my faith and background in biblical studies, coupled with my coaching education and experience, will allow me to thrive and make a positive impact on the lives of others. I view coaching soccer as a vehicle for teaching and preparing student-athletes for life and helping them to grow into their potential.
 
"My core team values are family, integrity, teamwork, hard work, enthusiasm, leadership, accountability, commitment to growth, respect and service to others. As a coach, I would describe myself as positive, demanding, instructive, encouraging, competitive and passionate about the game and people."
 
Jaggard holds a Master of Science in Sport and Recreation Science from Ohio University and a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies from Southwest Baptist University. Her coaching experience includes serving as the girls' soccer head coach at Douglas High School in Minden, Nevada.
 
Jaggard is the women's soccer program's 12th head coach. The Warriors have won five NAIA National Championships.
