After completing her 15th season, head coach Jennifer Rockwood has taken the BYU women's soccer team to national prominence and established herself as one of the premier coaches in Division I soccer today.

At year's end in 2009, Rockwood ranked 13th in winning percentage among active NCAA Division I coaches with an impressive 246-74-23 overall record for her career. Over the last 15 seasons at the helm of the BYU women's soccer program, Rockwood has accumulated a .717 winning percentage.

Rockwood has guided the Cougars to eight conference championships during her tenure including a MWC Tournament Championship in 2007. On the national scene, her teams have made 12 appearances in the NCAA Tournament in the last 12 years and reached the Sweet Sixteen in 1998, 2000 and 2003. In 2005, BYU was ranked as high as No. 6 in the country during the regular season, the highest ranking awarded to the Cougars in school history, and received its first-ever No. 4 seed in the NCAA tournament.

BYU regularly maintains a consistent top-25 ranking. Under Rockwood's tutelage, the team finished in the top-10 three times, including a recent run to the Elite Eight in the 2003 NCAA College Cup. The tournament ended with BYU making its first Elite Eight appearance in the program's history and earning the No. 5 ranking in the country after the season. They also participated in first rounds of the NCAA tournament in 2006 and 2007, and advanced to the second round in 2008 and 2009.

Among the many achievements and awards she has received over her career, Rockwood has been honored with three Coach-of-the-Year citations, one by the Western Athletic Conference in 1996, and two by the MWC in 2000 and 2008. She also became the first MWC coach to eclipse the 100-win and 200-win marks with a shutout at Milwaukee-Wisconsin, 2-0, on Sept. 23, 2000. Her 200th win happened on Sept. 24, 2007 when BYU beat Washington 2-1 at home.

A long list of All-American soccer players has emerged from BYU's program and Rockwood's influence. These athletes include Katie Larkin, Jaime Rendich Beck, Aleisha Rose and Michelle Jensen. Among the players who have been coached by Rockwood are five additional All-American athletes that were drafted by the Women's United Soccer Association: Shauna Rohbock, Maren Hendershot and Staci Reynolds. Sara Reading was also selected to play for the WUSA. In 2008 Katie Larkin was drafted by the Los Angeles Sol of the inaugural Women's Professional Soccer League.

Prior to becoming the head coach, Rockwood led BYU's highly successful club soccer team for seven years. In that time she amassed an overall record of 128-25-9. The final two years she took her teams to the Western National Collegiate Club soccer Association (NCCSA) title and placed second in the NCCSA National Championships.

After one year at Rick's College on a basketball scholarship, she transferred to BYU where she became a four-year starter at center midfield on the Cougars' club soccer team and graduated in finance, business management. Rockwood has also coached youth club programs, high school teams and the Utah Olympic Development Program.
