BALTIMORE, MD –- Johns Hopkins University Director of Athletics Jennifer S. Baker announced today that Leo Weil will not return as the Blue Jay women's soccer coach.  A national search for his replacement will begin immediately.
 
"We are thankful to coach Weil for the service and leadership he provided our women's soccer program over nearly three decades," Baker stated.  "While we have enjoyed a high level of competitive success, I determined after a careful review that a change in leadership was in the best interest of our program.  We are fully committed to providing the best experience to our student-athletes on and off the field and that will be our focus as we look to identify the next head women's soccer coach at Johns Hopkins University."
 
Weil, the only coach in program history, recently concluded his 28^th season with a record of 410-121-43 (.752).  He is one of just nine coaches in Division III women's soccer history with more than 400 wins and he also guided the Blue Jays to 14 Centennial Conference titles and 18 appearances in the NCAA Tournament.  
 
Weil coached 15 All-Americans, nine Centennial Conference Players of the Year and 67 of his players earned all-region honors.  In addition, 13 Johns Hopkins women's soccer players earned CoSIDA Academic All-America honors; Johns Hopkins is tied for eighth among all women's soccer programs and tied for second among Division III programs in all-time Academic All-Americans.
