Joe Pehanich, who has played soccer since he was 3 years old, was an obvious choice for head coach of the Santa Monica College women's soccer team.

"It was an honor to have Aaron [Benditson] and Tim [Pierce] recommend me," said Pehanich. "I feel blessed to have this position."

Bendtison was the previous women's soccer coach, and Pierce is currently the head coach of the men's soccer team.
