When Tim Lenahan was hired at Northwestern prior to the 2001 season, he had already displayed a keen ability to build programs -- first at his alma mater, Richard Stockton College, then at Lafayette College.

Lenahan inherited a Northwestern program that went winless in 2000 and did not secure a victory until the final match of his opening season in 2001. Since that season, the Wildcat program has evolved into one of the elite college soccer programs in the nation, contending on annual basis for the Big Ten title and NCAA Championship.
