Anne Moore enters her ninth season as the head soccer coach for the University of Wyoming after leading the program to the four best seasons in school history. Over that four year span, the Cowgirls have won 35 games and placed ten Cowgirls on the Mountain West Conference First and Second Teams. Moore is just the second head soccer coach in Wyoming history as she became UW's coach on Jan. 14, 1999. Last season, Moore guided the Cowgirls to an overall record of 7-9-3, and a fifth place tie with San Diego State in the MWC. She also helped place one Cowgirl on the MWC Second Team. Following the 2003 season, Moore was named the MWC Coach of the Year. That season, she led the Cowgirls to a record of 10-9, the best finish in the program's history at the time. The Cowgirls finished the MWC regular season in a second place tie with BYU with a conference mark of 4-2, Wyoming's best conference finish ever.
Prior to accepting the position at Wyoming, Moore gained experience with another young soccer program. As the first women's soccer coach in East Tennessee State University history, she helped start the program in 1997 and coached the Buccaneers for two years before coming to Wyoming. She also served as a graduate assistant for two years at Virginia Tech before becoming their first full-time assistant coach from 1993-97. Moore had an outstanding collegiate soccer career at North Carolina State, where she was a four-year letterwinner from 1989-93. While playing at N.C. State, Moore's teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament every season, including two trips to the Elite Eight and a Final Four berth 1989. Moore earned her undergraduate degree in 1993 from North Carolina State with a bachelor of arts in communications degree. She then earned a master's of education degree with a concentration in sports management from Virginia Tech in 1995. Besides her university coaching experience, Moore has also served as the Director of Coaching, in both Virginia and Tennessee for club programs, and has been actively involved in the Olympic Development programs in both Tennessee and Wyoming. She received her United States Soccer Federation "B" License in 2001 and her NSCAA Advanced National License in 1998. In her time at Wyoming, Moore has guided a Cowgirl on to the MWC first team five times and individuals onto the second team ten times. Her teams have also experienced a great deal of success in the classroom as a Cowgirl has been selected academic all-conference 91 times and selected as a scholar athlete 43 times. She also helped guide Lori Scheider onto the Academic All-America Third Team following the 2003 season. A Springfield, Va. native, Moore and her husband Curt, a police officer in Laramie, have two sons; Blake (8) and Kyle (5). |
