Milwaukee Athletics

Moynihan coached 19 total years with the Milwaukee women's soccer program, turning the Panthers into a dynasty while leading them to nine NCAA Tournament appearances, 13 Horizon League Championships, and eight Horizon League Tournament titles. Moynihan, an eight-time Horizon League Coach of the Year, directed the Panthers to an incredible run of 12-straight conference titles starting in 2000 and extending through his final campaign on campus in 2011.

In 15 years as the head coach at Milwaukee, Moynihan posted an impressive 193-84-38 overall record, including a gaudy 86-8-5 (.894) mark in Horizon League games. In his final season with the Black & Gold in 2011, Moynihan's Panthers won a school-record 19 matches, including a perfect 8-0-0 run through conference action, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament second round. Led by nine all-conference honorees, including Horizon League Player of the Year and NSCAA All-American Sarah Hagen and Defensive Player of the Year Jamie Forbes, the Panthers finished the season ranked No. 23 by the National Soccer Coaches Association of American (NSCAA) with a final RPI of No. 25. The team advanced in the NCAA Tournament following a 3-0 victory at home over Illinois State.
 
The numbers are as staggering as they are impressive in his tenure. In his 15 seasons from 1997 through 2011, the Panthers were recognized with four All-Americans, 22 all-region selections, seven Horizon League Player of the Year awards, five Horizon League Newcomer of the Year honorees, 46 Horizon League First-Team selections, 35 Second-Team choices, and 42 league all-newcomer team honorees over the span.
 
A Milwaukee, Wis., native, his coaching career began with the Panthers in 1993 when he served as an assistant coach under his sister, Susan. He helped guide the Panthers in that capacity to a 40-33-4 mark in four seasons, laying the groundwork for when he would take over the program in 1997. Michael also played an instrumental role in fundraising efforts to have the Panthers' home field, the Laura Moynihan Field, named after his mother who also coached the MKE women's soccer program.

He entered his 11^th season at Northwestern this fall, where he has led the Wildcats to four NCAA Tournament berths and coached the 2016 Big Ten Champion team. His all-time record with the program is 89-79-26, making him the winningest coach in school history.
