Another ex-player from Boston University’s women’s soccer team is speaking out about claims of “mental and emotional mistreatment” inflicted by their previous coach, Nancy Feldman.
Following the accusations of sexual harassment made by “Call Her Daddy” podcast host Alex Cooper against Feldman in her Hulu docuseries, titled Call Her Alex, Boston University alum Sophia Woodland is now sharing her own experiences with the retired soccer coach. (As per online records, Woodland was a member of the BU women’s soccer team from 2019 to 2022.)
In a recent interview with the Boston Globe (published on June 26th), the ex-soccer player from college revealed that she had been through numerous therapy sessions over the years, aiming to cope with the psychological and emotional torment inflicted by Feldman, which she described as predominantly centered around her physical appearance.
According to Woodland, the main problem he faced during his three-year tenure under Nancy was constant criticism about his physical appearance. This was a recurring theme and caused him great anxiety throughout this period.
As reported by The Boston Globe, in 2022, a psychologist at a university expressed her concerns about Feldman to higher authorities within the institution via email, but ultimately chose not to. Eventually, Feldman retired in 2022. Notably, a BU representative informed the media outlet that it was a player who contacted the psychologist and asked her not to escalate the issue further.
Woodland stated with a hint of doubt, “Alright, good luck.’ It seemed several team members and parents had previously visited the sports department.” This implies he was not hopeful about the psychologist’s actions yielding substantial results.
Us Weekly has reached out to Feldman and Boston University for comment.
Additionally, Woodland responded to a recent letter penned by 99 ex-BU soccer players who were expressing their backing for Feldman. Previously, TMZ disclosed that they had acquired a copy of a letter signed by numerous BU alumni, indicating that their interactions with Feldman varied significantly from the sexual harassment allegations raised by Cooper, aged 30, in her documentary series.
Previously involved individuals stated that they “absolutely did not experience any feelings of being unsafe” in the presence of Feldman. Furthermore, they declared that they neither observed nor were subjected to any conduct that could be described as improper behavior or sexual misconduct, according to TMZ’s report.
Woodland expressed to the Boston Globe that there will be individuals who may have had a distinctly different encounter or didn’t view Feldman as particularly harmful. “Abusers can’t harm everyone, after all,” he said, implying disbelief towards the 99 people who signed the letter. “In my opinion, those individuals are – to put it gently – rather insensitive.
Woodland pointed out that just because someone may have had a positive encounter with her, it doesn’t automatically mean she is unable to cause harm to others.
During the years 2013 to 2015, Cooper represented the Boston University women’s soccer team. In Hulu’s Call Her Alex docuseries, released on June 10, she claimed that Feldman showed an unusual interest in her, more than any other teammate of hers, during her sophomore year.
In a conversation reported by People, I shared that the situation stemmed from her curiosity about my romantic relationships, her frequent remarks regarding my physical appearance, and her consistent desire for private moments with me.
“It was this psychotic game of, ‘You want to play? Tell me about your sex life,’” Cooper alleged.
At the given moment, Feldman was unreachable for comment. Yet, a representative from Boston University communicated to us on June 13, “Boston University maintains a strict stance against sexual harassment. We offer an abundance of resources, support, and staff dedicated to student welfare, and our Equal Opportunity Office manages a thorough reporting process. We invite members of our community to voice any apprehensions, and we remain steadfast in our efforts to create a secure campus environment that is safe for everyone.
