ONE OF THE FINEST COACHING STAFFS IN THE COUNTRY
Danielle
La Roche Cornell Head
Coach
Coach La Roche comes to Cornell after spending the
2006 season as an assistant coach with the women’s soccer program
at George Mason University. She is a 13-year coaching veteran, with
previous collegiate assistant coaching stops at Binghamton University
and Howard University. She takes over a program that went 3-13-1 overall
and 1-6 in the Ivy League a year ago, but returns both of its All-Ivy
League players in senior defender Leslie Campbell and sophomore forward
Eva Dixon.
While at George Mason, La Roche helped the Patriots to an 8-9-2 overall
record and a 5-5-1 mark in the Colonial Athletic Association. She
also served as recruiting coordinator and was responsible for bringing
in a highly-decorated six-member class for the upcoming 2007 season.
Prior to her stint with the Patriots, she was an assistant coach at
Binghamton University for two seasons, helping the Bearcats to a 24-12-5
record over that span. The Bearcats went to the NCAA tournament as
the America East champion in 2004 and finished the season ranked fourth
in the Northeast Region by the NSCAA and by Soccer Buzz. La Roche
also served for three years as the assistant coach at Howard University,
where she helped in the development and creation of a new program.
At each of her stops, she also was a coach within the U.S. Soccer
Olympic Development Program.
In addition to her collegiate coaching experience, La Roche spent
four years as the director at One Touch Soccer Academy, organizing
the coaching efforts for 28 adult and youth programs while also running
35 camps per year.
La Roche received a Bachelor of Arts in Afro-American Studies from
the University of Maryland, where she was a member of the women’s
soccer team under April Heinrichs, who would later go on to serve
as head coach of the U.S. Women’s National Team. She also holds
numerous national coaching licenses and certificates, including a
USSF National A License.
