Kwame Lloyd was hired as Wittenberg's women's soccer head coach in July 2011. Lloyd came to Wittenberg after a brief time as an assistant coach at Gardner Webb University, where he was responsible for coordinating recruiting activities and evaluating prospective student-athletes. He also managed team travel and acted as the program's liaison to the compliance and academic services directors.

In his first season on the Wittenberg sidelines, Lloyd led the Tigers to records of 8-9-1 overall and 3-5 in the challenging North Coast Athletic Conference. He followed that with a breakout 2012 campaign as the Tigers won the NCAC regular season title with a 7-0-1 record. After reaching the fifth NCAA Division III Tournament in program history, Wittenberg finished with an 11-5-3 overall mark.

After the 2012 season, Lloyd was named NCAC Coach of the Year. He left for Salisbury University following the 2012 season.

Lloyd was named Most Outstanding Freshman in 1988 at Lincoln University before transferring to Susquehanna University and earning three letters in both soccer and track & field. He was the soccer team's Most Valuable Player in 1990 and he served as team captain for the track team in 1992 and 1993. After earning his bachelor's degree in political science from Susquehanna, he played one year with the Harrisburg Heat of the National Professional Soccer League.

Lloyd returned to his alma mater to begin his coaching career, serving as head coach of the women's soccer team and assistant coach of the women's lacrosse team from 1994-97. From there, he went to Whittier College for four years as director of soccer and women's lacrosse coach. He oversaw all management and administration for the men's and women's soccer and women's lacrosse programs, served as an NCAA Regional Committee member, taught a fitness and wellness course and directed an annual soccer camp.

From 2001-08, Lloyd served as head coach of both the women's soccer and women's lacrosse teams at Christopher Newport University. He led the soccer team to four USA South Athletic Conference regular season titles, three USA South Tournament crowns and three appearances in the NCAA Division III Tournament, including a national quarterfinal finish in 2004. His lacrosse teams won three regular season and two tournament titles in conference play and advanced to the NCAA Division III Tournament twice.

Along the way, Lloyd earned four USA South women's soccer Coach of the Year designations and three USA women's lacrosse Coach of the Year awards. He also was named VaSID All-State Coach of the Year in 2004.

Lloyd's last head coaching stop prior to Wittenberg came at the University of Vermont between 2008 and 2010. He and his wife, Julie, have two children, Kijana and Jada.
