Hall of Fame
Sutch Meador elevated women’s soccer to championship form and ushered the program’s transition to E.S. Rose Park with undeniable skill and athleticism. Making her mark as a threetime All-Atlantic Sun Conference defender, the Knoxville, Tennessee native led Belmont to the 2008 Atlantic Sun Tournament title and the program’s first NCAA Tournament bid (Auburn). The following year, the Bruins dropped only one of 10 conference matches in claiming the ASUN regular season championship. Sutch Meador had 19 career points (six goals, seven assists) as her gifted service and shot accuracy was utilized on free kicks and restarts. She played in all 76 matches of her career, including a Senior Day victory over NCAA Tournament side FGCU, and was part of a Bruin defense which held the opposition to one or fewer goals in 52 matches. Currently, Gretchen lives in Gallatin, Tennessee, with her husband and Belmont Baseball alum Ben Meador, twins, Emma and Zoe, and daughter, Mila. She splits her time staying home with her girls and working part time as a physician assistant at Tennessee Orthopedic Alliance. They built and moved into their dream home on the lake in Gallatin.
