Sheila McGill was named St. Thomas' head women's soccer coach in the spring of 2007.

McGill, a former MIAC player at St. Mary's from 1993-97, was an assistant coach at St. Catherine the previous four seasons. Her 10-year local coaching resume also includes four seasons as an assistant coach at Cretin-Derham Hall (1999-2002); five seasons as head coach in White Bear Lake's youth soccer program, and eight seasons coaching local teams in the Olympic Development  Program.

McGill also conducts her own annual youth soccer camp and has been a clinician and several other camps.

"I''m excited about coming to St. Thomas and joining such a strong athletic program," McGill said. "I've had a great experience in the MIAC as a player and assistant coach, and I'm anxious to meet with current players and contact recruits."

McGill replaces Colleen Carey, who resigned after eight seasons and took a position as director of youth soccer in Eagan. Carey won 70% of her conference games in eight seasons, with four top-two MIAC finishes and two NCAA playoff trips. Her Tommie teams compiled an overall record of 87-48-14.

St. Thomas finished 7-9-2 in 2006, but had only two seniors.
