Margaret Rodriguez has seen UConn soccer from all angles. As a player from 1995-1998, she saw the height of the program when it reached at least the Elite Eight every season from 1993-2000 including a 1997 trip to the national title game. As a coach, she’s seen the Huskies fall off their pedestal as one of the nation’s elite programs, missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time ever in 2008 and three more times since.
But now that she has the reigns of the program following Len Tsantiris’ retirement, Rodriguez has a vision for getting the program back where it belongs.
