Loras College Athletics

Following a four-year career as a member of the Loras women's soccer program, Leibforth returned to the coaching staff in 2016 and begins her sixth season under head coach Matt Pucci.

After an injury-ridden athletic career, Jill focused on the psychological aspect of athletics and is now working towards her master’s degree in clinical psychology. A member of the American Psychological Association’s Div. 47: Society for Sport, Exercise & Performance Psychology, she serves as an Athletic Wellness Advisor, assisting student-athletes in navigation of issues that arise during their athletic seasons.

Since joining the Duhawks’ coaching staff, Leibforth and the women's soccer coaching staff have nabbed American Rivers Conference coaching staff of the year twice. In the 2020 (Spring 2021) season, Leibforth and company were named Women's North Region Staff of the Year by United Soccer Coaches after an impressive shortened season that saw the Duhawks go 7-1, conceding only three goals in the eight game season.
