Anson Dorrance delivers dynasty, dominance
Posted Jul 26, 2015
There was no varsity women’s soccer program at UNC in 1970 when Anson Dorrance arrived to kick it around for the men’s team. Seven years later, while coaching the UNC men’s soccer team on a part-time basis, Dorrance, in law school there, was assigned additional school work from the director of athletics, Bill Cobey, who wanted him to start a varsity soccer program for women at the state’s flagship university.
