The Michigan women's soccer team plays its home games at the U-M Soccer Stadium on the university campus in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

History

Women's soccer has been a varsity sport at the University of Michigan since 1994, and the team has played in the Big Ten Conference since its formation.[1] The team has won the Big Ten conference tournament twice, in 1997 and 1999, although it has never won a regular season conference title: the best it has finished is second place, which it has done on four separate occasions.[1] Michigan's best result in the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship was a quarterfinal appearance in 2002.[1] All of these achievements came during the tenure of Debbie Rademacher (née Belkin), who coached the team from its inception in 1994 until 2007.[1][4]

Since the 2008 season, the team has been coached by Greg Ryan, who was previously the head coach of the United States women's national soccer team.[4][5] Under Ryan, the team has qualified for three berths in the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship, although it has not won any Big Ten titles.[4] On January 25, 2018, it was announced that the University of Michigan and coach Greg Ryan decided to part ways after a 6–6–6 last season, 3–5–3 in Big Ten Play. Ryan was 103–64–36 in his time at Michigan.[6]

On February 28, 2018, Michigan hired Jennifer Klein as head coach.[7] On September 21, 2021, Michigan announced they extended Klein's contract through the 2025 season.[8]

In 2021, Michigan won its 300th match as a varsity program and their third Big Ten Tournament in program history.[9][10]
