Defending Women's Professional Soccer champion Sky Blue FC announced Thursday Jennifer Grubb and Jim Moore joined the franchise as assistant coaches to new head coach Rick Stanton and his main assistant, Jesse Kolmel, formerly with the two-time defending regular season USL W-League champion Hudson Valley Quickstrike Lady Blues.
Stanton was promoted from assistant coach to head coach July 19 when the team fired head coach Paulina Miettinen and top assistant coach Anne Pamila.
Grubb was the only person to play in every minute of every match in the three-season existence of the Women's United Soccer Association with the Washington Freedom and was a three-time All-Star and two-time team captain.
Now head coach of the Peddle School, a private high school in Highstown, NJ, Grubb played collegiately at Notre Dame, where she has the all-time record for career points at 83 and is seventh overall and 20th in NCAA history in career assists with 53. She was also a three-time Player of the Year finalist.
In July, she was named to the Freedom's Hall of Freedom, their hall of fame.
Moore, a collegiate goalkeeper, has led the women's team at Georgian Court University in Lakewood, NJ to a 33-6-5 record in his four seasons with the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference team.
In 2006, his second year there, he was named the conference's Coach of the Year and, in 2008, he led GCU to their first conference championship win and a berth in the NCAA tournament after a regular season that included a 15-game unbeaten streak. In 2009, the school was the conference's regular season co-champions.
Before coming to GCU, Moore was assistant coach at Bryan University in Rhode Island, where he helped the program earn its first national ranking and NCAA tournament berth in 2001.
