Returning home, Hind steps down as women's soccer coach

Angie Hind led the women's soccer to 54 wins over six years as head coach.
Angie Hind led the women's soccer to 54 wins over six years as head coach.

Hind will also serve as the program manager for girl's and women's soccer teams in the Scottish Football Association.

Before serving as head coach at Dartmouth, Hind was an assistant coach at the College, helping lead the team to an Ivy League Championship title in 2003. In the head coach position, she amassed a 54-38-8 record and won 24 Ivy League games. Her win total lands her second on the all-time coach's list trailing only Steve Swanson's 55 victories for women's soccer, which he accumulated from 1990-1995.

This past season, Hind's team finished second in the League, behind only the University of Pennsylvania.

Co-captain Sarah Bromley '11 said that the team's players were surprised by Hind's exit and assistant coach Michelle Barr's announcement that she would also leave the coaching staff.

"It was obviously a shock to all of us that two of our three coaches were leaving," Bromley said. "There were a lot of different emotions surrounding their announcement but in the end I think we all realized that this kind of thing happens a lot in college sports."

Co-captain Katie Davis '11 said that many players will miss Barr, who specialized as a defensive coach.

"A lot of us, especially defensive players, had a close relationship with Michelle," she said. "She was strict and hard on us, obviously, but also very open and easy to talk to."

The resignation will necessitate an adjustment amongst some players, Davis said.

"Some of the freshmen were very surprised and a little upset, having just been recruited under the impression that they'd have the same coaches for the next four years," she said. "It's always a challenge to adapt to a new coach and new style."

The timing of Hind's departure is beneficial to the search for her replacement, according to Bromley.

"In terms of timing it gives the athletic department plenty of time," she said.

Hind's coaching achievements at Dartmouth were impressive. She led Dartmouth to the NCAA Tournament as an assistant coach in 2003 and 2005. Hind also helped her athletes achieve excellence both on and off the field 18 All-Ivy players were honored a total of 29 times while she served as head coach.

Hind fostered academic excellence, as 2010 was the fifth consecutive year that the women's soccer team won the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Team Academic Award.

Hind's departure will not affect the team's future success, Bromley said. "In the end, the team is still the same and there's such a strong basis there that I think any coach that comes in will have more than enough to work with to find success," she said.

The team will remain active while the search for a new head coach is taking place, Davis said.

"We'll be having training programs enforced by [assistant] coach Kelly Kuss, and it will be pretty standard," she said. "Morning runs and lifts winter training as usual, except obviously without Angie and Michelle."
