Plante to join Atlanta WPS

University of Northern Iowa women's soccer coach Jennifer Plante will resign at the end of her first season in charge to take a position with Women's Professional Soccer.
UNI director of athletics Troy Dannen announced on Saturday that Plante would be taking job with the Atlanta franchise of the new league. Plante will join the organization at the end of the Panthers' season.
Plante served one season as an assistant at UNI before becoming coach this year.
Dannen says Plante is leaving for a "tremendous opportunity" and says the school appreciates her two years of work.
Plante says it was a tough decision but calls her new job a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
