On the latest episode of Inside the Nest, we sit down with Saint Joseph's women's soccer head coach Jess Mannella on the eve of her 27th season on Hawk Hill. She tells us her thoughts on the FIFA World Cup and its potential impact on the continued growth of soccer in the United States as well as next year's FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil and the 2031 edition that will be co-hosted by the United States. She then goes in-depth on her personal history with the game and why she got into coaching before giving us insight on her program, from the incredible alumnae support network, to how recent changes to the NCAA calendar will affect the game, to the new facilities on Hawk Hill, in addition to a sneak peek as to what to expect on the (brand new) pitch at Sweeney Field. Of course, we finish with some deep, hard-hitting questions to let Hawk fans get to know her just a little bit better.

Coach Mulqueen also talks in depth about his thoughts on the game of soccer in the United States, his experience with the U.S. National Team and at the professional level, and what it's like to be part of an event such as the FIFA World Cup, which has made its way to the United States – and Philadelphia – this summer. Plus, as always, we get to know him a little better off the pitch as well.
