Anson Dorrance coaching tree runs deep in early season wins over former players

Posted Aug 27, 2018
Sunday’s match against UCF, marked the fourth time in as many games that Anson Dorrance coached against a former player of his. He did so in the season opener against Illinois’ Janet Rayfield, Dorrance’s first-ever recruit, and against Ohio State (Lori Walker-Hock) and Texas (Angela Kelly). “Those four teams are going to win a heck of a lot of games,” Dorrance said.
