Oregon State’s women’s soccer team will be under new leadership as Lauren Sinacola, who served as head coach for three years, has stepped down from her position, as announced by the school on Wednesday.
Sinacola, who assumed the role in July 2021, made history as Oregon State’s first female coach in women’s soccer. However, the specific reasons for her resignation were not disclosed.
This departure marks the second resignation within Oregon State’s women’s coaching staff within a week. Kate Maxim, the women’s rowing coach, recently announced her departure after a seven-year tenure.
The Beavers concluded their recent season with a 4-8-7 record, including a 1-6-4 performance in Pac-12 matches. Despite this, Sinacola’s inaugural season saw significant success, with Oregon State securing 11 victories, the highest since 2012. Across her three years at OSU, Sinacola accumulated a record of 20-25-12.
Looking ahead, Oregon State is gearing up for the 2024 season opener, scheduled as an exhibition match against Oregon on August 4th. Additionally, this upcoming season marks the Beavers’ entry into competition within the West Coast Conference.
