Cretin-Derham Hall is excited to announce Rosie Malone-Povolny as Girls Soccer Head Varsity Coach. Rosie was a four-year letter winner at Cretin-Derham Hall, where she earned all-conference honors each season and was an all-state selection in 2006. 

After graduating as a stand out soccer player and two year captain at CDH, Rosie attended Division 1 Marquette University. She was a 4-year starter on the Women's Soccer team, playing 86 out of 89 possible career matches between 2007-2011. Rosie holds the record for the most minutes played of any midfielder in Marquette's Women's Soccer program history. At Marquette, Rosie collected a long list of impressive recognition, including 2010 NSCAA Scholar All-American Third Team, 3 years on the Big East All-Academic Team, and 2 years included on the Big East Conference Third Team.

Professionally, Rosie has played overseas the past 5 years in Iceland, Sweden, and most recently with Medkila Soccer Team in Norway from 2013-2015, where her career highlights include Top Scorer and Player of the Year.

While overseas, Rosie has also been active as a coach in the soccer community. At the Norway soccer club she served as Head Coach of the 16U team and Assistant Coach of the Women's Amateur Team, which serves as a developmental team for the professional program. In her role as Director of the Soccer School, she coordinated and coached clinics and camps for boys and girls of various ages, up to young adults.

While back in the United States, Rosie has maintained her strong connection to CDH. She is no stranger to hard work and she is often found in the Fitness Center training. Fortunately, for CDH, Rosie will forego playing professionally next year to continue her coaching career at CDH.

Rosie brings a strong soccer experience background. She is passionate about soccer development, training, strategy and teamwork, and will be a great leader as Head Coach of the Raider Girls Soccer Team.

At the meeting today, Rosie covered several items regarding excellence, teamwork and passion for the sport.  Below you will find the summer soccer program information and a player information form.
