Nate Norman, who’s been at the helm of the Notre Dame women’s soccer team for nine seasons, was named the ACC Coach of the Year on Wednesday.
Norman guided the Fighting Irish this season to its first outright ACC regular-season finale, the top seed in the ACC women’s soccer tournament and a 16-2-2 record against conference foes the last two seasons.
Also the ACC Coach of the Year in 2022, Norman is currently 107-45-24 during his time at the helm of the Irish.
Notre Dame (10-1-6) is set to face Virginia in the ACC semifinal round today.
