U.S. Women’s Soccer owes a lot to Anson Dorrance

Posted Aug 15, 2024
Anson Dorrance laid the foundation for that first Women’s World Cup winner in 1991, which he led. Seven years after UNC established a women’s soccer program with his help, he was hired to assemble a team to compete internationally. He and that team won that first World Cup, thereby establishing a standard to which the rest of the world had to measure. (Tar Heel Blog)
