KENTUCKY WILDCATS - University of Kentucky Athletics

LIPKA RETURNS FOR 16TH SEASON
• UK Coach Warren Lipka, the dean of Southeastern Conference coaches, returns to Kentucky
for his 16th season and has coached the Wildcat program since its inception. In
2003, Lipka joined Florida Coach Becky Burleigh as the only coaches in SEC history to
win 50 conference matches. A former All-American goalkeeper at South Carolina, Lipka
claims one SEC title to his credit after his Cats earned the 1995 conference championship.
Lipka owns a .573 winning percentage by way of his 174-126-28 overall record
while leading the Wildcats to every SEC Tournament since the league began sponsoring
women’s soccer in 1993, the longest streak in SEC history.
Lipka spent time with the U.S. U-19 Women's National Team for the second time in as
many offseasons over the summer. Serving as the goalkeepers' coach, Lipka helped Team
USA to a berth in the 2004 FIFA Under-19 Women's World Championship. Lipka's
keepers never surrendered a goal in- wins over the Dominican Republic and Trinidad and
Tobago and a tie against Costa Rica.
Lipka also served a similar role with the U.S. U-19 and U-21 Women's National Teams
during the summer of 2003, traveling with the teams to Germany and the Netherlands.
MOVIN ON UP
• Warren Lipka is in his 16th season as the head coach of the Wildcats, with his 174 wins
and .573 winning percentage, he ranks among the best coaches in the country in all-time
wins.
