CSS Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2013
Greg Cane, the only head coach the University of Minnesota Duluth women's soccer program has had in its 20 seasons, will be inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame of his alma mater, the College of St. Scholastica, this Friday.
Cane is among four individuals and one team who make up the CSS Athletic Hall of Fame's third induction class.

Two years later, he began a nine-season run as the head coach of the CSS men, compiling a record of 104-55-12 while guiding the Saints to the 1988 and 1989 National Small College Athletic Association (NSCAA) National Championships. The 1988 NSCAA Coach of the Year, Cane then became the first-ever head coach for Saints women's team in 1990 and held continued to lead the men's program as well through the 1993 season.
In the spring of 1994, UMD added women's soccer as intercollegiate sport and selected Cane to fill the head coaching assignment. He has paced the sideline for each of the team's 347 matches ever since, producing a 207-113-32 mark (for a .640 winning percentage) in addition to claiming six Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference titles (1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003) and five conference tournament crowns (1997, 1998, 2001, 2003 and 2009).
