Flatau Resigns as Southwestern�s Head Women�s Soccer Coach
Southwestern University head women�s soccer coach Jack Flatau has announced his resignation as head coach of the Pirates after 11 seasons at the helm of the women�s program.
�I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to coach at Southwestern. It was such a wonderful, positive environment. I am going to miss the ladies I had the privilege of coaching and all the great people at Southwestern. It was a difficult decision, but one that my wife and I felt was the right one at this point in time so I could move closer to my family,� said Flatau.
�I was disappointed to lose Jack after all he has done for our women�s soccer program and our department,� stated Director of Athletics Dr. Glada Munt. �I understand that it was a family decision and we support Jack and his wife Susie in their decision. He will always be a part of the Pirate family.�
Flatau put together a career record of 93-87-17 as the Pirates coach. He was 51-39 in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play. Flatau led the Pirates to their best record in program history during the 2007 season, finishing 13-5 overall and 7-2 in the SCAC for the first second place conference finish in program history. The 2007 season garnered his first-ever SCAC Coach of the Year honors.
Flatau coached three All-Region selections, 41 All-SCAC performers including 2006 SCAC Newcomer of the Year, Laura Kromann and a number of players honored as scholar student-athletes. Flatau spent the 1997 season doing double-duty as the head Men�s Soccer coach at Southwestern as well, leading the Pirates to a 7-10-2 record.
Southwestern will begin a national search for head women�s soccer coach immediately.
