WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Penn College head women’s soccer John McNichol has resigned his position to accept the women’s head coaching position at Wilkes University, effective June 1.
McNichol, who resides in Wilkes-Barre, was named Penn College’s first full-time women’s soccer in 2014. In four season, he compiled a 33-38-10 mark and three North Eastern Athletic Conference playoff appearances. His team hosted the first-ever NEAC playoff game at Penn College in 2016 and finished runner-up in 2017.
“I’m very appreciative of John for the amazing job he did for our women’s soccer team for the past four years,” Penn College Director of Athletics John Vandevere said. “He made that program one of our premiere sports and we wish him well in his future endeavors.”
McNichol coached 16 All-NEAC selections, two players that broke the program’s all-time scoring record, and his team routinely maintained the highest grade point average of any team at Penn College.
A national search will be conducted for McNichol’s replacement.
