Anson Dorrance
This past fall, Anson Dorrance retired after 47 years as the only head coach in the history of UNC Women’s Soccer. A 1974 Carolina graduate, Dorrance has won a combined 1,106 games at his alma mater while coaching the men and women. He owns a career record of 1,106-152-74, including a 934-88-53 mark as the women’s head coach. His 934 victories as head coach of the UNC women’s program are the most in the sport’s history.
He was inducted in the National Soccer Hall of Fame in August 2008 on the “Builders of the Game” ballot, being inducted in his first year of eligibility.
In 2012, Dorrance led Carolina to its 22nd NCAA Championship, making him the first coach in NCAA history to win 21 NCAA championships in a single sport. He is the all-time leader in Division I NCAA championships in any sport and tied for second across all NCAA divisions in all-time titles with 21.
In 2022, the Tar Heels claimed a share of the ACC regular season championship, advanced to the ACC title game and made its unprecedented 31st appearance in the NCAA College Cup. The Tar Heels are the only women’s soccer program in the country to appear in every NCAA Tournament.
He has coached 19 different players to National Player-of-the-Year honors, including three-time recipient Cindy Parlow (current President of U.S. Soccer) and Mia Hamm, who was selected the Greatest Female Athlete in the ACC’s first 50 years.
