Read Full BioThe dean of coaches at Seattle University, Julie Woodward has earned the respect of her peers with her style of coaching, which has led to 14 winning seasons. She enters her 16th season at the helm of the Redhawk women's soccer program in 2012. With such an accomplished coaching resume, Woodward continued to establish herself as the winningest coach in SU women's soccer history with a 206-79-26 overall record and a .662 winning percentage.
Seattle University's former two-time NAIA All- American soccer player came home to her alma mater as the head coach of the Redhawks women's soccer program over a decade ago. A native of Seattle, Woodward took over the program after serving three years as an assistant women's soccer coach at the University of Montana.
While the women's soccer program at Seattle University has always been a successful one, Woodward has clearly taken it to a new level in her time as the leader of the Redhawks. Not only has she compiled the program's all-time best coaching record, she has guided the Redhawks to the NAIA regional championship match in five straight seasons before making the move up to the NCAA Division II level.
