PORT ANGELES — California native Dana De Vaughn has joined the coaching staff of the Peninsula College women’s soccer program.
De Vaughn leaves another nationally-ranked program, San Bernardino Valley College, where she served as an assistant coach since 2013, helping the Wolverines to three straight conference championships.
Her coaching resume also includes Legends FC Riverside, Redlands East Valley High School, the Fullerton Rangers FC, Esperanza High School, and Empire Soccer.
De Vaughn played soccer at Cal State Fullerton, where her 2005 and 2006 teams won Big West Conference titles and made it into the NCAA Division I Tournament round of 16.
She grew up in Redlands, Calif., and was a four-year letter winner in soccer, cross country and track at Redlands East Valley High.
She holds a United States Soccer Federation D License.
“Dana brings so much to the program,” head coach Kanyon Anderson said.
“She has had a fantastic playing career, she knows the game very well, she has helped build a nationallyranked junior college program in California, and she brings joy to everything she does. We are very fortunate to have her here.”
In addition to coaching women’s soccer at Peninsula, De Vaughn will work in the college’s fitness center.
