Molly Rouse was named to the Gophers' staff as an assistant coach on July 3, 2018.
The Minnesota soccer alum played in 88 career games for the Maroon and Gold in her four seasons that spanned from 2007-2010. Rouse netted 18 goals with the Golden Gophers while adding 17 assists for a grand total of 53 points in her career.
During her four seasons, the Gophers participated in the NCAA Tournament twice, reaching the third round both times, which is the deepest the Gophers have made it in the postseason in program history. Rouse also was a two-time All-Big Ten selection, and served as the team captain during her junior and senior campaigns.
While putting up her big numbers in Minneapolis, Rouse also was able to put many shots up. She currently holds the position for sixth most shots in a career at the University of Minnesota at 203. Rouse is also associated with one of the most consistent stretches in Gopher soccer history when she tallied at least one assist in five straight matches in 2008, tying her with Erin Hussey who did it across the 1993 and 1994 seasons.
Rouse rejoins the Gophers as an assistant coach after making multiple other assistant coaching stops since leaving in 2010. She most recently coached the University of Iowa (2017-18), Nebraska-Omaha (2017), Buffalo (2015-16) and Alabama State (2014). Prior to coaching Rouse played professionally, competing for the Minnesota Kings and Vancouver Whitecaps in the Women's Premier Soccer League.
Rouse graduated with a bachelor's degree in early childhood education with a minor in child psychology and an emphasis on American Sign Language from the University of Minnesota in 2010. She currently holds a U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) National "A" Coaching License.
