After a lackluster campaign for the Seton Hall women’s soccer program, changes were finally made.
Head coach Rick Stainton parted ways with the Pirates without registering a winning season in his five years of strolling the sidelines in South Orange. The Pirates ended the 2018 season at 2-12-4, including 0-9-0 in conference play, and their goal differential of -24 is a large reason why. Both the offense and the defense struggled heavily to get going during the year.
Another reason could have been inexperience, as 19 of the 31 players on the roster were underclassmen. Of the 16 players who recorded more than 500 minutes on the season, half of them were underclassmen, and the three players who missed that cut by less than 30 minutes were as well.
