Loyola College formally announced Katherine Remy Vettori as the new women's soccer coach on Thursday afternoon at a press conference in the Sellinger Lounge. A former All-American at Duke University, Vettori succeeds John Byford as head coach after Byford was named Head Women's Soccer Coach at Villanova University in February.
At her press conference, Vettori was already looking forward to making changes in order to benefit the team next season. "I'm excited to go in a new direction, some more goals, attacking, attacking, attacking," said Vettori as she looked at the large group of women's soccer players that attended the conference.
Although Vettori played four years as a professional and was an assistant coach for another five years, this job marks Vettori's first time as head coach. Vettori already has defined goals for next season, "Our goal is to win our conference, get some more out of conference wins, and ultimately get a higher seed in the NCAA tournament."
In a Loyola College press release dated early last week, Vettori said, "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such great student-athletes at a school with a wonderful academic and women's soccer reputation." Again on Thursday, Vetorri sang the praises of the women's athletes at Loyola College, saying, "These women truly are student-athletes."
