Akron-UCLA Coaching Connection


Recommended Posts

I was looking at the UCLA women's soccer roster this morning, and discovered an amazing coincidence. UCLA head women's soccer coach BJ Snow was a teammate of Caleb Porter's for two years at indiana, and attended Portage Central HS in Caleb's hometown of Kalamazoo, MI (Caleb went to Highland HS per a blog story I read about Michigan soccer players/coaches). BJ's also married to US WNT midfielder Lindsey Tarpley, BTW. While UCLA is unable to play the Zips in men's soccer this year, I have to wonder if there's any chance of getting the Bruin women connected in a game or tournament with coach Pfau's ladies.

If not, I will begin an effort to get both schools to a future tournament in my hometown of Honolulu (Michele "Bud" Nagamine, Hawaii coach and I can surely swing this one!) -- I found this out while trying to find the name of the attorney who's daughter, Alana Munger is the UCLA goalkeeper and ex-Punahou Buff and Blue and Leahi 92 Elite 4-time state and Surf Cup champ!

Strange connections to discover on a Monday morning in the Mid-Pacific! :D
