University of Chicago soccer coach Julianne Sitch has done what no one has done in NCAA history — she became the first woman to lead a men's soccer team to a national title.
The first-year coach led the Maroons to a 2-0 win over Williams College in the the NCAA Division III men's soccer national championship Saturday, capping the UChicago's undefeated 22-0-1 season with the program's first ever title.
"The credit goes to the team — I mean, these guys have never had a female coach before, and they embraced me as one of their own. And for me, that will forever be a grateful moment," Sitch said after the victory, according to the university.
