RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 14 (UPI) -- A sexual harassment lawsuit against the University of North Carolina women's soccer coach has been settled.

In the case against coach Anson Dorrance, the university agreed to pay former player Melissa Jennings $385,000 and have Dorrance issue an apology to all of his players for inappropriate sexual discussions.

The university must also conduct a comprehensive review of its sexual harassment policies and procedures under the deal.

It was the second and final settlement in the lawsuit after the other plaintiff, Debbie Keller, settled out of court in 2004 for $70,000 and a requirement that Dorrance attend sensitivity training for eight years.

Dorrance, 56, won 19 national titles in 26 years with the UNC women's soccer program.
