Terri Patraw is a US Soccer National “A” Licensed Coach and previous Division I Scholarship Athlete. During her 20-year long coaching career, she transformed Division I programs and athletic departments, signed top players to her schools, coached her teams to NCAA tournaments, served on the NCAA Top 25 National Coaches Poll and the University of Nevada’s Accreditation Committee, and mentored other head coaches. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism from the University of Wisconsin in Madison, and an M.B.A. from Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona.

Due to her exceptional skills as an athlete, she was awarded a scholarship from the University of Wisconsin and in 1988, was a part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Final Four Team, a team that was ranked second in the nation in 1990.
