Anson Dorrance leads 35-year dynasty

Posted Aug 30, 2013
At North Carolina, winning national championships isn’t a goal — it’s an expectation. That’s the refrain you’ll hear out of many of UNC’s women’s soccer players, past and present. But you won’t hear it from 35-year UNC coach Anson Dorrance. “I try to protect my kids from that stress and pressure,” said Dorrance, whose Tar Heels have won 21 of 31 NCAA championships.
