Alabama assistant coach Jason Lowe is in his fourth season at the Capstone in 2012.

Lowe is instrumental in the development of the goalkeepers. Off the field Lowe coordinates the recruiting efforts, handles the academics and implements the Polar Heart Rate Monitor system for training.

Year two under Lowe saw even more accolades accumulate for the the Tide keepers. Justine Bernier became just the second player in Alabama history to earn NSCAA First-Team All-Region honors.

She also became the first Tide player since 1999 to be named to the All-Southeastern Conference First-Team. Despite being only a junior, Bernier broke the school records for shutouts and saves in a career.

In his first season on the bench Crimson Tide net-minder Justine Bernier flourished under his tutelage, leading the SEC in saves per game and ranking second in total saves en route to being named to the All-SEC second-team.

Lowe came to Alabama after serving as an assistant coach at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga.

"Jason has a broad range of experience that benefits our program in a variety of ways," Bramble said. "Certainly our goalkeepers will continue to improve through his training, but his abilities aren't just limited to that area. He has a great mind for the game, is passionate and is a tremendous addition to the university community."

"Coach Bramble has a strong and clear vision for the future of Alabama soccer and I am excited to be a part of it," Lowe said. "This is a university with such a prestigious athletics history. Hearing his vision for Alabama soccer and seeing the first class resources that the athletic department has put in place for the program, it is clear that he is building something special here in Tuscaloosa."

Prior to coming to Alabama, Lowe spent two seasons with the Emory women's soccer program as the team's goalkeeper coach. Under his direction Lowe guided first-year starter Sarah Wilkerson to a NSCAA/adidas All-South Region selection. Wilkerson's 0.544 overall GAA was the 23rd-lowest in Division III in 2008, and the eighth-lowest single season average in school history.

During his first season with the Eagles, he helped senior goalkeeper Emily Fedeles achieve First-Team All-UAA honors, an eighth-ranking nationally in goals against average (0.33) and a 10th-national ranking in Save Percentage (0.894). Emory reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2008 and the Sweet 16 in 2007.

Lowe also served as the Director of Goalkeeping for Tophat Soccer Club from 2006-09. In that time the club's goalkeepers have led their respective teams to four Georgia State Championships, two Region III Premier League Championships and seven appearances at the 2007 Southern Regional Championships. In 2008, Lowe was the head coach of the Tophat 07 Gold (U19) team that won the Georgia State Championship and reached the Regional Finals.

He began coaching with the Twin City Youth Soccer Association in 2000 where he coached the 88, 86 and 85 Lady Twins in addition to training the club's goalkeepers. He then moved to Connecticut where he was a staff coach with the Connecticut Football Club and coached the U12, U13 and U14 CFC Wolves until he moved to Atlanta in 2005.

Lowe holds his USSF B License and his USSF National Goalkeeping License.

Lowe graduated in 1998 from Wake Forest University with a degree in business and was a goalkeeper on the men's soccer team. He returned to Winston-Salem in 2000 and earned his MBA at the Babcock Graduate School of Management in 2002.
