Former All-BIG EAST and All-Northeast Region defender Rachel Pitman returned to Lincoln Park in August 2018 as an assistant coach with the Blue Demons women’s soccer program.
Pitman joined the Blue Demons following a professional career with the Sunderland Ladies AFC Club in Sunderland, England where she made four appearances in the Champions League.
Pitman played for DePaul from 2011-14, leading DePaul to consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances in 2013 and 2014. In 2014, DePaul set a program record going 17-1-4 with a 20-match streak without a loss, the longest in the nation along with UCLA at the time. DePaul won both the BIG EAST regular-season and tournament titles while PItman was selected to the All-BIG EAST First Team and was NSCAA All-Northeast Region Second Team.
As a student-athlete, Pitman was also named to the Capital One Academic All-America First Team and was a four-time BIG EAST All-Academic Team selection.
Competing on England’s U-17 and U-23 national teams, Pitman scored five goals and helped lead the English to the U-17 World Cup Semifinals. She has also played with England’s U-15 and U-17 teams.
Pitman is an FA Level 1 and Level 2 qualified soccer coach and one of 50 female coaches selected for the UEFA B license as part of the BetFair campaign.
