Here’s your reminder that the U.S. Women’s Soccer coach used to be at U of I

You may have heard that the U.S. Women’s National Team just won back to back World Cup Championships. 

We here in C-U get to brag just a tiny bit that their head coach, Jill Ellis, was once head coach of Illinois Soccer. In fact, she coached the very first season of Division I soccer at Illinois.
