Women’s Soccer Adds Pascale Rocca as Director of Operations

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Pascale Rocca, who spent five seasons at CSU-Pueblo as an assistant women’s soccer coach, has been named Director of Operations for Lobo Soccer, announced head coach Heather Dyche.

As the Director of Operations, Rocca will handle many of the day-to-day duties in running a nationally competitive women’s soccer program. Rocca will be involved with scheduling, academics and serving as a liaison with many campus departments. She will also work with UNM’s marketing and communications office and the Lobo Club to help promote the program.

“We were really humbled to have strong interest and some incredible applicants for this position,” said Dyche. “Once we were able to talk to Pascale it was obvious to all of us that she was not only a great fit but could enhance our program immediately. We are really excited to have her join us.”

Rocca received her bachelor’s from the University of South Carolina Beaufort, where she also competed on the women’s soccer team. She was a two-time team captain and was part of the program’s first postseason appearance.

In her time at CSU Pueblo, Rocca coached the Pack to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 2016. As a team, the ThunderWolves have qualified for the RMAC Tournament in each season Rocca was on the sidelines.

Rocca has helped to coach 20 RMAC All-Conference picks, 1 RMAC Player of the Year, 33 All-Academic Honor Roll recipients, and in 2019-20, the team finished with a 3.692 Grade-Point Average, highest among all CSU Pueblo teams.
