The 2014 Broncos posted a record of 15-6-1, advancing to the West Region title game and marking the furthest in the playoffs for any Broncos’ women’s soccer team since 1999.

Athletic Director Brian Swanson says Vanessa Valentine will serve as acting head coach for the Broncos’ women’s soccer program. A national search to replace Dibbini will begin on Jan. 5 when the Cal Poly Pomona campus re-opens after the holiday break.
