Next year's head girls soccer coach at Ankeny High School is more than familiar with the team she will be coaching.

Lacey Woolf has been named the new head coach for the Hawkettes effective the 2013-14 school year, the Des Moines Register reports. Woolf is currently an assistant coach for the team.

Woolf will fill the shoes of current head coach Chris Allen, who will shift roles to Ankeny Centennial next season after the second high school opens, the article said.

Woolf is a former Big 12 standout and professional player, the Register reported.
