Rice University announced that head soccer coach Brian Lee, one of college soccer's winningest coaches, will step down at the end of the current season. The university will immediately launch a national search for his successor, according to Rice Athletics.
Lee has built a distinguished career at Rice, accumulating a record that places him among the most successful coaches in NCAA soccer history. His departure marks the end of a significant era for the Owls program.
The coaching change comes as Rice prepares for a transition in leadership, with the athletic department committed to finding a replacement who can maintain the program's competitive standards.
