In January of 2008 John Marovich was named the third head coach in the history of the Valparaiso University women’s soccer program, following six seasons as an assistant and associate head coach on the Crusader bench. The 2014 Horizon League Coach of the Year, he enters his eighth season at the helm of the Crusaders in 2015.
Marovich enters the 2015 campaign with a record of 66-44-24 both overall as a collegiate head coach and at Valpo. He ranks second in school history in victories, and his .582 winning percentage is tops all-time for the Crusader program.
Marovich led Valpo in 2014 to the most successful season in program history. The team set new school records with 14 wins, a 12-match winning streak and an 18-match unbeaten streak, ending the season with a 14-2-4 record. Along the way, the Crusaders swept through Horizon League play with a perfect 8-0-0 record – only the third side in league history to go 8-0-0. Valpo won its first Horizon League regular season and tournament championships in 2014 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second time.
