April Heinrichs leaves coaching

Former U.S. women's soccer coach April Heinrichs is leaving her coaching job at UC Irvine to join the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Heinrichs, who guided the American women to a gold medal in the 2004 Olympics, will be a team leader in the USOC's sports performance department.
She took the Irvine job in January and the UCI women struggled through a 3-13-1 season after going 2-13-1 the previous year.
Heinrichs was the women's national team coach from 2000-2005.
