Tom Anagnost is a soccer coach who has served the
University of Miami and Central Michigan
University with complete dedication and
commitment. During Tom's employment with the
University of Miami and Central Michigan, the
women's soccer teams were at their best in
program history.

It was under the leadership of Tom Anagnost that
the Miami Hurricanes (women's soccer team) won
3-2 in double overtime in the ACC opener. It was
a great match between Miami and Clemson where the
Hurricanes continued to pressure their opponents.
It was only four minutes into the first half, the
team was on the board, when a perfectly passed
ball from a player connected with another for a
nifty header that reached the back of the net to
score a goal. A wonderful show was exhibited by
the team and they celebrated a great victory.

Tom said that Junior Kate Howarth did an
outstanding job with two goals, and freshman
Ashley Flinn won it for the Hurricanes in the
extra time, as she scored her first collegiate
goal. Both players were extremely dangerous in
the game. He said that his team was very
resilient throughout the game and played really
well however, Clemson also played well and gave
their players a tough fight.

He further described that the opponents countered
against the run of play just five minutes later
as Rachel Hurd passed the ball for a goal. After
a quick opening 20 minutes, neither of the teams
could call up one more quality scoring prospect
and thus, the Miami Hurricanes went into the
break with a lead of 2-1.

Tom said that the Clemson team made the game very
difficult in the second half and put a lot of
pressure on the Hurricanes tying it at 2-2.
However, in overtime the aggressive Miami women
managed to break all the barriers and achieve the
winning score. The entire program was very happy
with the win, especially being the first ACC
opponent who dominated them the spring before. It
was already very apparent that Tom Anagnost made
an enormous imprint in the program as the
University's women's soccer coach.
