Sue (Moynihan) Manning served as UWM's first full-time women's soccer head coach from 1992-96. During that time, she helped the Panthers to 46 victories and their first-ever appearance in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference championship match. In the 1995 season that culminated with the Panthers in the title game, she also earned Wisconsin Soccer Coaches' Association Coach of the Year honors.
Manning was responsible for laying the foundation for the incredible success the Panthers have enjoyed over the last decade-plus. In UWM's first season in the MCC in 1994, she led the Panthers to a second-place finish. By the next season, she led Milwaukee to the MCC title match.
In the process, she recruited the players that would lead the Panthers to their first-ever NCAA Tournament in 1997. Among those players were UWM hall of famer Lisa (Kryzkowski) Cantreel, all-time second-leading scorer Cammy Polson, Josha Krueger and fourth all-time leading scorer Mara Thompson. In all, Manning coached the top five scorers in UWM history. And, her contributions to the program are still recognized today, as the team gives out the Susan Moynihan Team Award after every season.
After leaving UWM, Manning spent 10 seasons as an assistant coach for the highly-successful Purdue women's soccer program.
Manning was also actively involved in youth coaching with the Lafayette Area Soccer Club, helping to build the club from the ground up. In three years, she grew the competitive side of the club from one team to six teams, with over 100 players involved.
