Boston University’s women’s soccer team has been slapped with yet another allegation of sexual harassment — just weeks after Alex Cooper’s claims were highlighted in a Hulu documentary.
The “Call Her Daddy” podcast host, 30, said she was sexually harassed by former head coach Nancy Feldman during her time as a student-athlete at the college.
Now, Feldman’s former assistant coach Casey Brown is facing similar allegations made by soccer player Shayla Brown, The Boston Globe reports.

“The coach, she said, was acting inappropriately toward one of BU’s key players, focusing excessively on her and trying to manipulate her in ways that were distressing to the player and her teammates,” the outlet noted.
“This was not a case of a coach coddling a prized player, Shayla Brown said. Her teammate was ‘being groomed,’ she told the psychologist.”

The following day, Shayla was joined by 17 other BU women’s soccer players as they took their claims to the university’s Equal Opportunity Office.
The students had noted that one of their teammates, who asked not to be identified, also shared her experience with school officials after claiming she had been targeted.
“She recalled navigating a stream of awkward texts, unsettling invitations and unwanted attention,” the outlet reported.

In December, Brown, who succeeded Feldman in 2022, stepped down from her head coaching position after the school kickstarted an investigation into complaints from students on the team.
The Post has reached out to Boston University for comment.
The allegations come just two weeks after Cooper said she endured three years of escalating sexual harassment at the hands of her former head coach.

Feldman coached BU’s women’s soccer team for 22 years before she retired in 2022, but Cooper said the former coach started to “fixate on me way more than any other teammate of mine” during her sophomore season.
Cooper was a member of the Terriers women’s soccer program from 2013 to 2015.
Her revelation in the Hulu doc, “Call Her Alex,” came 10 years after she claimed to have suffered through the ordeal.
“I felt a lot of anger — anger at my coach, anger at my school, and anger at the system that allowed this to happen,” the podcast host said in the documentary.
