Penn women’s soccer head coach Dr. Krissy Turner is stepping down from the post after five seasons in West Philly.

Turner, who arrived at Penn after 24 seasons at Monmouth, has compiled a 22-30-27 overall record and 4-17-14 mark during her time at Penn. The Quakers posted a winning record in each of the last two seasons after three straight seasons with losing records but did not make the Ivy League tournament.

“I am proud of the progress we have made with the program both on the field and in the classroom during my time at Penn,” Turner said. “However, I realized it is time for a change for the program and for me. I have appreciated my relationships with our student-athletes as they are amazing women. I am excited to see where my career takes me next.”

A national search is underway to identify the next leader of the Penn women’s soccer program.

“I appreciate Krissy and all she has given to our women’s soccer program,” Alanna Wren, Penn’s Director of Athletics and Recreation, said in a news release. “Her dedication to the program and our student-athletes has been evident throughout her time here, and we are grateful for her contributions to Penn Athletics. I wish her and her family the very best.”
