St. Olaf men's soccer coach Kurt Anderson announced Wednesday that he will retire after 30 seasons.

"I have many great memories," said Anderson, who compiled a 301-212-41 record, making him the winningest coach in program history.

Anderson led the Oles to six regular-season MIAC championships, six NCAA tournament appearances, including the program's first NCAA Division III Sweet 16 in 2015, and two MIAC playoff titles (2011, 2015).

He was named the MIAC Coach of the Year four times.

Detroit guard picks U

Jasmine Powell, a 5-6 point guard at Detroit Country Day High School — and a former teammate of Gophers starter Destiny Pitts — announced on Twitter she had committed to the University of Minnesota after considering offers from several other schools, including Massachusetts, Rutgers, Marquette and DePaul.

She led her school to the Michigan Class B championship last spring. She was ranked the 78th-best prospect in the 2019 class according to ESPN's Hoolgurlz, 23rd among point guards.

Powell is eligible to sign during the early signing period, which begins Nov. 14.
