Nabatoff '13 Joins Women's Soccer Coaching Staff
July 16, 2016 | Women's Soccer
A three-time All-Ivy League honoree, Alison Nabatoff '13 will join the Princeton women's soccer coaching staff, head coach Sean Driscoll has announced.
"We are delighted to add Alison to our staff," Driscoll said. "I didn't know it at the time, but she made an instant impact on me. Shortly after I was hired, she sent a congratulatory e-mail and also inquired about any open coaching positions. At that time, our staff was in place, but I never forgot the note. A couple of months later, Alison was the first non-staff member I invited to help us with our ID Clinics. It was one of the best decisions I have made since my arrival here. Watching her interact with the players and other staff members, it was clear that she possessed the ability to educate and motivate those around her. Alison is confident, talented, and exceptionally passionate about both Princeton and the game of soccer. Her career as a player is laden with countless accolades and successes and I am very much looking forward to her aiding in the mentoring, empowering and coaching of our wonderfully gifted student athletes."
Nabatoff will continue in her role as a program coordinator for Princeton's Whig-Cliosophic Society, a politics and debate group, while assisting the staff. Since returning to Princeton in 2015 to work with the Whig-Clio Society in the university's Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students, Nabatoff had served as an Academic-Athletic Fellow for the women's soccer program.
"I'm extremely excited for the opportunity to join the Princeton coaching staff," Nabatoff said. "The women's soccer program was an integral part of my undergraduate experience at Princeton, and I'm looking forward to learning from and being a part of the coaching staff alongside Sean, Kelly (Boudreau) and Mike (Poller)."
During her Princeton career, Nabatoff, a defender, was named the Ivy League Co-Rookie of the Year in 2009, earning honorable mention All-Ivy League recognition that season. She went on to earn two more All-Ivy honors, including second-team recognition in 2010 and first-team in 2012 while missing nearly a half-season due to injury in 2011. Her final season, in which she started all 18 games, was Princeton's most successful during her tenure as the Tigers went 7-0-0 in the Ivy League and won at West Virginia in the opening round of the NCAA tournament, the program's first-ever NCAA tournament victory away from Princeton.
Nabatoff earned her bachelor's degree in anthropology from Princeton in 2013.
