Bruce Arena Elected to United Soccer Coaches Hall of Fame

United Soccer Coaches, formerly the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, announced on Wednesday that Bruce Arena and Anson Dorrance are the two newest members of the United Soccer Coaches Hall of Fame, both to be inducted in January 2018.

Head coach at Virginia from 1978-1996, Arena led the Cavaliers to five national championships, including four straight from 1991-1994 (1989 was the first-ever title for the Hoos). Since Arena took Virginia to the NCAA Tournament in 1981, the Hoos have still never missed an NCAA appearance — the longest such streak across any NCAA sport.
