University of Texas at Austin:
Texas head soccer coach Angela Kelly announced on March 28, 2017, that former Claremont-Mudd-Scripps head coach Keri Sanchez had been hired as the new assistant coach for the Longhorns soccer program.
Sanchez is involved in all aspects of the program and took over the position vacated by former assistant Lance Key, who served on Kelly’s staff during the 2016 campaign.
In the 2019 campaign, the Longhorns posted an 11-8-1 overall record, on the way to a third-place finish in the Big 12 Conference (6-3-0), while recording the program’s third-consecutive trip to the NCAA Field of 64 (first time that had been done since 2006-08). Sophomore midfielder Julia Grosso earned third-team United Soccer Coaches All-American honors after posting eight goals and eight assists, while senior forward Cyera Hintzen (five goals, four assists) joined her as a United Soccer Coaches All-Midwest Region selection.
