After an extensive and comprehensive search to fill the vacant Women’s Soccer head coaching position, Dean Snider and the women’s team have found a new head coach, Laura Williamson from Vassar College. For the majority of this spring semester thus far, the Whitman women’s soccer team has been without a head coach. After previous head coach Heather Cato stepped down early in the semester to leave for Rogers State University, finding a new coach was a high priority.

Earlier this week, the Whitman women’s soccer team suffered a setback that may be felt on the team for years to come. Former women's soccer head coach Heather Cato has left Whitman for another coaching opportunity at Rogers State University in Oklahoma.
