Theresa Wagner has had success as a player and a coach, and brings her expertise to all phases of the game as a third-year Stanford assistant.
Over the past two years, Wagner has helped the Cardinal to a 47-3-1 record (.931), consecutive NCAA College Cup appearances, and a Pac-10 title.
Before that, she spent five seasons as an assistant at University of San Diego, helping the Toreros to three NCAA Tournament appearances and their best-ever season, in 2007. She also was head coach of the San Diego Surf, which earned a No. 1 national club ranking and captured State Cup and regional championships.
This is the second stint on the Stanford staff for Wagner, who handles much of the recruiting duties. She was a volunteer assistant on the 2002 Pac-10 championship team that went 21-1-1 - the second-best record in school history, which means Stanford has gone a combined 68-4-2 and registered its three best records with Wagner on staff.
Wagner was a standout player, winning a championship with the San Jose CyberRays during the first of her three seasons in the Women's United Soccer Association following a stellar career at University of Washington.
Wagner continues to hold Husky single-game records for goals (four) and assists (four), and was a four-time All-Pac-10 selection and three-time Pac-10 All-Academic choice. Wagner earned Pac-10 first-team honors in both in 2000, when she led the Huskies to their first Pac-10 title, and finished her career as the school record-holder in career points (80).
Wagner is a native of Edmonds, Wash., and was a two-sport star at Lakeside High School, setting a state 2A record with 120 career goals and earning All-Metro honors in basketball. She was the 1995 Seattle Times Female Athlete of the Year.
Wagner graduated from Washington in 2001, earning a B.A. in business with a 3.5 GPA.
