EC Alumna Named Daily Star Coach of the Year

Jennifer Pindar '96 was named the Oneonta Daily Star Coach of the Year.

Pindar has had a very successful five-year career as a coach of the Cooperstown women's soccer team. She recently led the Redskins to their second straight Section Three championship despite graduating four key starters from 2005 team that reached Class C state semifinals.  This is a story book ending to a season where the team started out 1-2, and ultimately  finishing with 14 wins, 5 losses and 4 ties. Her unbeaten streak of seven games ended with a 3-0 loss to Candor in state quarterfinal.  That streak included back-to-back penalty-kick shootout wins in sectional semifinal and final. Helping Stamford win first Section Four championship as a senior in 1991, she becomes the first  Cooperstown coach to receive Daily Star honors since Lisa Ann Cherubin in 1999, when Redskins shared Class C state championship with Cold Spring Harbor.

Jenn played Varsity Soccer for the Elmira College Soaring Eagles.
