The Stanford Cardinal women’s soccer team was the decade’s dominant team with three Division 1 national championships. They also lost in the finals twice, in 2009 and 2010. Two of the team’s most famous graduates, United States national team stars Kelley O’Hara and Christen Press, did not win national titles, but they helped set the scene in Palo Alto, California, where Paul Ratcliffe has coached Stanford the last 17 seasons.
Ratcliffe led the Cardinal to the 2019 title, defeating North Carolina in penalties. During this week’s On Frame with Pro Soccer USA’s Glenn Crooks, Ratcliffe talks about this year’s team and his lengthy coaching career.
