Princeton University Women's Soccer

Driscoll has a record of 24-8-4 at Princeton, only the second coach in program history to win 24 games in his first two campaigns. Princeton's 2015 team put together an 11-game win streak and a 13-game unbeaten streak that included an undefeated Ivy League season at 6-0-1 and the first home NCAA tournament game in eight seasons of Roberts Stadium, a 4-2 win over Boston College that made Driscoll just the second coach in Ivy history to win an NCAA tournament game in his or her first year in the role. The 2015 Tigers under Driscoll earned six All-Ivy League honors including taking three of the four major awards, with Tyler Lussi's Offensive Player of the Year and Mimi Asom's Rookie of the Year honors joining Driscoll's Coach of the Year award. Through two seasons, Princeton players have earned 12 All-Ivy League honors including four first-team recognitions. The success came less than 11 months after Driscoll accepted the job. We are thrilled to welcome Sean to our team of extremely talented coaches at Princeton, Princetons Ford Family Director of Athletics Mollie Marcoux 91 said upon Driscoll's hiring on Jan. 12, 2015.
