Rutgers University Women's Soccer

Ancin returned to Piscataway in 2014 as an assistant coach for the women's soccer program. Entering his third season, Ancin assumes multiple of responsibilities, namely supervising the Rutgers goalkeeping corps. I am so happy to have Lubos on staff, said head coach Mike ONeill. Hes good with people, he knows the game, hes a very good goalkeeping coach, he played professionally, and hes Rutgers through and through. I think to get the opportunity to add someone to your staff that has all those characteristics is really critical to our players and the program. I knew Lubos when he played here. To now have him on staff, I feel like Ive known him my whole life. Hes a good man and hes good at what he does. Ancin's presence has undoubtedly been felt by RUs defensive unit and goalkeeper Casey Murphy. On their way to the first College Cup in program history in 2015, the Scarlet Knights led the NCAA in goals-against average (0.37), shutouts (19), and shutout percentage (.731). All three statistical achievements set single-season RU records. Sophomore goalkeeper Casey Murphy, who set new Rutgers records in GAA, goals allowed (10), shutouts, and save percentage, was named the 2015 Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year and a National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Second Team All-American. In 2014, Murphy was named the goalkeeper on the Big Ten All-Freshman team after posting a 0.64 GAA, .829 save percentage, 63 saves, and 10 shutouts while allowing just 13 goals in 20 contests in 2014. She was twice named Big Ten Co-Defensive Player of the Week. Among true freshmen nationally, Murphy posted the second-best GAA, which overall was 21st nationally. In the annals of RU history, Murphy also stood out. She allowed the second-fewest goals, recorded the second-best GAA and posted the third-best save percentage of any freshman keeper in RU history. Ancin joins RU with substantial playing and coaching experience.
