A two-time captain of the Brown women’s soccer team, Mia Dammen (Mihopoulos) ’95 was one of the most decorated players in program history. During her tenure from 1991-95, the Bears captured two of their 12 Ivy League titles and made one appearance in the NCAA Tournament, defeating Dartmouth in the first round in 1994.

Legendary Head Coach Phil Pincince refers to Dammen as “one of the best all around players and scorers I have ever coached.”

A three-time All-Ivy selection, Dammen entrenched herself in the Brown record books, ranking third all-time with 87 points, sixth with 29 goals, and second with 29 assists. Her 13 assists during the 1994 campaign were the second most helpers recorded in a single season for the Bears. As a junior in 1993, Dammen led the Ivy League in scoring with nine goals and two assists. She appeared in every game throughout her career, totaling 67 contests over that span. Dammen joins Brown’s top-two all-time scorers in the Hall of Fame, Theresa Hirschauer ’89 and Deborah Ching ’83.

Dammen was the program’s Ridgely Most Valuable Player Award winner in 1994, an award voted on by the team in honor of Professor and Mrs. Beverly Ridgely for their outstanding contributions to women’s soccer.

Dammen has continued to play an impactful role in the women’s soccer program, serving as the Co-President of the Brown Women’s Soccer Friends Group. She currently resides in Darien, Conn., with her husband, Peter Mihopoulos, and their three children.
