In 15 seasons, former Royal standout Colleen Pivirotto has led the Royals to an overall record of 207-60-34 (.744), including 9 Landmark Conference championships and making 11 NCAA tournament appearances. In 2021 & 2022, the Royals finished the season nationally ranked advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16. Coach Pivirotto has been named Landmark Conference Coach of the Year 7 times and United Soccer Coaches Regional Coach of the Year twice (2016 & 2021). In addition, she has had 37 players named all-Landmark Conference honors including five all-Americans and 21 all-region players by United Soccer Coaches.

Pivirotto returned to her alma mater in January 2008, after serving as assistant women’s soccer coach at Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pa., in 2007. The Greyhounds finished 15-6-1 and advanced to the championship match of the Landmark Conference tournament, and received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. Prior to her appointment at Moravian, she served as an assistant women’s soccer coach at Elmira College in Elmira, N.Y.

Pivirotto was on some of the most successful teams in Scranton history under the legendary Joe Bochicchio. She was a four-time all-Freedom Conference selection — first team in 2000 and 2003 and second team in 2001 and 2002 — and earned first-team all-Mid-Atlantic regional honors by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) in 2003. She started 81 of 83 career matches as the Royals posted a four-year overall record of 71-13-4 (.830), including four Freedom Conference championships and four NCAA tournament appearances.

Pivirotto graduated cum laude from the university with a Bachelor of Science degree in management in 2004 and was inducted into the Scranton Athletics Wall of Fame in 2015. Pivirotto also serves as an assistant director of athletics and senior woman administrator.
