Anson Dorrance, who led the UNC women’s soccer program for 47 seasons and won an unprecedented 22 national championships, has announced his retirement. According to the program, Dorrance informed UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham on Friday and the team on Sunday.

Dorrance coached some of the greatest women’s soccer players of all time, both at the college and national level. Mia Hamm, Kristine Lilly, Heather O’Reilly, and Crystal Dunn are just a few of the women who started their careers as Tar Heels before achieving success on the international level. In total, 102 All-Americans and 19 National Players of the Year played for Dorrance at Carolina.

The only head coach in program history, Dorrance will leave Chapel Hill with a 934-88-53 record as the women’s coach and a 1,106-152-74 when counting his record with the UNC men’s program, which he coached for more than a decade. Included in that record are five perfect seasons, a 92-match winning streak, and two unbeaten streaks (no losses or ties) of more than 100 matches. His 934 total wins and 147 NCAA Tournament wins are both the most in NCAA history. Entering the 2024 season, Carolina has been ranked in 513 consecutive weeks.

Dorrance also coached the United States Women’s National Team for eight years, leading Team USA to a FIFA Women’s World Cup title in 1991. He was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2008 and in 2019, Carolina named its renovated soccer and lacrosse stadium Dorrance Field in his honor.
