Virginia’s Todd DeSorbo named CSCAA Women’s Team Coach of the Year

Virginia swimming & diving head coach Todd DeSorbo has been named the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America Division I Women’s Team Coach of the Year.

DeSorbo led Virginia to its first NCAA Swimming and Diving Championship last week. The Cavaliers captured six event titles en route to the championship and had 12 athletes named to CSCAA All-America Teams.

Kate Douglass led the Cavaliers and earned the maximum of seven first-team All-American honors. Paige Madden captured three NCAA individual titles, the most by any swimmer at NCAAs, and one with the 800-yard freestyle relay.

The awards were determined by a nationwide vote of CSCAA-member Division I head swimming coaches and head diving coaches. One additional vote was determined by the public via online polling.
