PCC SCHOOL RECORDS UNDER COACH SOELBERG

MOST WINS IN A SEASON: 19
LONGEST WIN STREAK: 10
LONGEST UNDEFEATED STREAK: 13 (set in 2023)
MOST SHUTOUTS: 15

After making history on April 15, 2020 as both the first woman and first full-time coach/instructor to be hired to direct the Pasadena City College women's soccer program, Terryn Soelberg put together historic seasons in both 2023 and 2024.

Last season, Soelberg was the Southern California Region Coach of the Year and South Coast Conference North Division COTY after directing the Lancers to school records for most victories (19) and longest win streak (10), a first SCC Tournament championship, and the team's best finish in the sport's history as a regional finalist. 

The Lancers were a No. 2 seed and advanced with a 0-0 tie (4-3 penalty kick advantage) v. LA Pierce in Round 2, then defeated Ventura, 3-1, in Round 3. The team's season ended in a loss to Saddleback in Round 4. PCC played all three playoff games at PCC's Robinson Stadium, the first time the school has ever hosted postseason contests on campus.* 

PCC placed second in the SCC North at 8-1 to champion Mt. San Antonio (9-0), but the Lancers avenged its only regular season defeat by defeating the Mounties, 1-0, for the SCC Tournament title on Nov. 15

Soelberg directed the program's first South Coast Offensive MVP in midifelder and conference-leading scorer Charlie Gallardo. Gallardo, defender Itzel Nunez and goalie Francesca Agliolo each were selected All-State. 

Agliolo set a school record for most shutouts (10) and her 0.86 career GAVG is the lowest for any PCC goalie to play more than 2,000 minutes. Reserve goalie Natalia Portillo set records for lowest GAVG (0.47) and highest save percentage (.900) for any Lancer who played a minimum of 1,000 career minutes.

PCC's defense set a new school mark with 15 shutouts as the team was fifth in the state in goals against average at 0.56. Pasadena was sixth among SoCal teams in offense (2.87 goals per game).

In 2023, her Lancers won the program's second-most victories in a season (17), produced a school record longest undefeated streak at 13 games (9-0-4) to open the year, and reached the Southern California Regional semifinals. It was the first postseason by a PCC team in 11 years.

In the playoffs, PCC, seeded #13, shocked #4 Mt. San Antonio, winning for the first time ever at the Walnut campus in a 2-1, overtime victory in Round 1. 

Pasadena placed second in the difficult South Coast Conference North Division at 7-2. PCC also ended a 22-year winless drought at Cerritos College.

In 2022, Soelberg improved by four team points from her first year with a 7-10-4 record and a third place finish in the South Coast Conference North Division. From Sept. 16 through Oct. 14, PCC had a strong 5-2-1 run, including the program's first victory over Cerritos College since 2012. 

In her first season guiding the Lancers in 2021, Soelberg's Lancers endured a tough rookie year at 7-14, but her squad showed improvement by winning three of its final four games and improving the program two places to third in the SCC North.

Her first career coaching victory occurred in the team's fourth game, an 8-0 home triumph over Victor Valley. In an October match v. East Los Angeles, PCC scored the most goals in a game in 23 years in a 12-0 victory. 

Soelberg has guided 17 Lancers to All-SCC honors including 2-time First Teamers in Gallardo, Nunez, and 2021-22 performer Olivia Aguilar. Other 2-time All-SCC choices in Isabela Guerrero ('22-24) Destiny Delgado ('23-24), Gabby Morales and Avery Romero, both '21-22. In just four seasons, Soelberg has coached seven of the top 26 all-time leading points scorers in PCC history, led by Gallardo at #7.

Gallardo was PCC Women's Athlete of the Year for all sports as a freshman in the 2023-24 school year.

Previously, Soelberg coached five seasons as an assistant at Santa Ana College (2015-2019). Working with head coach Jaymie Baquero, Soelberg helped the Dons reach the postseason for the first time in 10 years in 2019. In the Southern California Regionals, Santa Ana defeated Cuesta, then took eventual CCCAA state champion Santiago Canyon to double overtime in a 0-0 tie after 120 minutes. Santiago Canyon would advance on penalty kicks (5-3) ending one of the most successful seasons in Santa Ana soccer history. Soelberg assisted in the development of Orange Empire Conference MVP Lenya Wood. 

Soelberg, 34, also served two seasons as head soccer coach at University High School in Irvine, twice guiding the team to second place finishes in the Pacific Coast League and earning two trips to the CIF playoffs.

Since 2016, she has coached teams for the Pateadores Soccer Club in Newport Beach. 

As a student-athlete, Soelberg first attended Bakersfield's Highland High then Bakersfield College. Playing for the Renegades in 2009, she led the Western State Conference in scoring with 18 goals and five assists. A forward, Soelberg scored her team's lone goal in a playoff loss to San Bernardino Valley. 

Soelberg went on to earn a scholarship to attend NCAA Division II Brigham Young University-Hawaii. She made the 2012 All-PacWest Third Team as a senior. Soelberg played on the same high school and college teams as her twin sister Torree Soelberg. 

Soelberg earned an AA degree at Bakersfield, received a bachelor's degree in exercise and sports science at BYU-Hawaii, and accomplished her master's in kinesiology at Cal State Long Beach. 

*-PCC has hosted postseason games at off-campus facilities due to the home field not FIFA regulation length until the Robinson Stadium field was redone in 2019.
