Ron Raab is in his second season as a volunteer assistant coach with the Virginia women's soccer program. Last year, Raab, an assistant coach at UVa from 1997-2000, came back to Virginia after spending the past three seasons as the head coach at the University of Evansville.
Raab began his coaching career at William & Mary, his alma mater, in 1989. In 1990, he was named an assistant coach at Princeton where he assisted on April Heinrichs' staff. A year later, he followed Heinrichs to Maryland when she took over the program there. In 1992, Raab left coaching to go into the banking business, but returned to coaching in 1997 at Virginia to serve on Heinrichs' staff again. He served on her staff for three seasons at UVa and on Steve Swanson's staff in his first season in Charlottesville. In each of his four seasons at Virginia, the Cavaliers reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
A 1989 graduate of William & Mary with a double major of History and Economics, Raab was a three-year letterwinner on the Tribe's soccer team. In 1987, he set William & Mary's school record for goals in a game with four against Christopher Newport. He also played one season for the Washington Mustangs of the USISL in 1993.
Raab and his wife Janice have a daughter, Natalie.
