JILLIAN
ELLIS
HEAD COACH
EIGHTH SEASON
WILLIAM & MARY ‘88
Head coach Jillian Ellis enters her eighth season at the helm of the UCLA women’s
soccer program. She was hired on July 8, 1999 as the third UCLA women’s soccer
head coach in program history.
In just seven seasons in Westwood, Ellis has transformed UCLA into one of the
elite women’s soccer programs in the nation. She has guided the Bruins to four
appearances in the NCAA College Cup, highlighted by trips to the finals in 2000,
2004 and 2005. She owns an overall record of 132-27-7 (.816) at UCLA, while her
overall coaching record, which includes two seasons at the University of Illinois,
stands at 151-45-7 (.761).
In 1999, her first season at the helm, Ellis coached the Bruins to an impressive 155-1 overall record and their fourth NCAA tournament bid. During the season, the
Bruins emerged as one of the top teams in the country, ranking as high as No. 7 in
the nation, which at that time was the highest regular-season ranking the program
had ever achieved. UCLA was able to build on its 1999 per formance as, a year
later, the Bruins reached the school’s first-ever NCAA College Cup in 2000. UCLA
opened play with a 1-0 victory over Portland in the semifinals before dropping a 2-1
heartbreaker to North Carolina in the NCAA title match. UCLA finished second in
the national rankings that season with a 19-4-1 overall record. Ellis was rewarded
for her ef forts when she was named the NSCAA/adidas National Coach of the Year
at the NSCAA’s annual convention following the season.
In 2001, Ellis guided the Bruins to the Pac-10 title and within one match of a secondstraight College Cup. Although UCLA fell upset to Florida in the quarter finals, the
Bruins ended the season ranked No. 5 nationally with a 20-3-0 overall record. The
Bruins’ 20 victories that year set a single-season school record.
In 2002, UCLA made another strong run deep into the NCAA Tournament by reaching
the third round. The Bruins finished 18-4 overall and ended the season ranked No.
7 in the NSCAA/adidas final national poll. With an 8-1 record, UCLA also finished
second in the highly-competitive Pac-10 Conference.
The 2003 season was another special year for Ellis and the Bruins, as UCLA
advanced to the College Cup for the second time in school history. UCLA posted
a 20-2-3 overall record, claiming its fourth Pac-10 title. For her ef forts, Ellis was
named Pac-10 Coach of the Year at season’s end.
The Bruins made a return trip to the NCAA College Cup in 2004, falling in the NCAA
Final to Notre Dame on penalty kicks. UCLA ended the season with an 18-7 overall
record, earning the third Pac-10 title for Ellis in the process.
In 2005, Ellis guided the Bruins to the NCAA College Cup for the third year in a row,
making UCLA the only team in the country to appear in the last three College Cups.
The Bruins, who set the school record for wins with 22, finished the season with a
22-2-2 overall record and the school’s third Pac-10 title in a row.
In addition to her ef forts in the college game, Ellis has also excelled at the international
level after serving as the head coach of the Under-21 U.S. National Team. She has
led the U-21s to two Nordic Cup titles (2000 and 2005), including a trip to the finals
in 2006. In addition to her work with the U-21s, Ellis has served as a consultant with
the U.S. Olympic Team in Sydney, Australia in the Summer of 2000. She has also
worked extensively with the Under-16 U.S. National Team.
Ellis came to Westwood after heading the University of Illinois women’s soccer
program for two years. In 1998, she brought the Fighting Illini to a 12-8 record and
a first-ever Big-Ten Tournament berth. In the program’s first year in 1997, the Illini
ranked among the leaders in the Big Ten in attendance.
