In his sixth season with the Maryland Terrapins, head coach Brian Pensky was honored by Soccer America as their Women’s Soccer Coach of the Year. Pensky is Maryland’s first recipient of this national award.

In arguably the Terps’ best season to date, they reached as high as No.3 in the polls, posted an 18-2-3 record, and earned a No. 1 seed in the ACC and NCAA Tournament, which is a first for the women’s soccer program. Pensky also led them to a second consecutive undefeated season against non-conference teams and their first ever win over the North Carolina Tar Heels, one of three top 10 teams they beat this year.

Pensky was also named ACC Coach of the Year a few months ago.
