Stability. That is what the "Dean of Pac-10 Coaches" Lesle Gallimore
has brought to Washington since her hiring in 1994. She steadily built the
Husky women's soccer team, transforming it into one of the nation's premier
programs during her previous 11 years.
Gallimore enters the 2005 season atop
the Pac-10 coaching charts in all-time (130) and conference (52) victories.
In 2004 , she directed UW to its best NCAA
performance, a quarterfinal appearance that capped three consecutive shutout
victories in the preceding rounds. The Huskies posted a 17-5-1 record en route
to the Elite Eight.
Before
coming to the UW, Lesle was the head Coach at San Diego State University from
1990-1993 compiling a 32-25-9 record. While at SDSU she also won the National
Amateur tournament as a player and captained the West to the Olympic Festival
gold medal in 1993.
Lesle served as an assistant at the University of California
at Berkeley from 1986-1989, before that she was a four-time All American at
Cal, leading the team to two Final Four appearances.
