HAVEN, Pa – Lock
Haven University assistant soccer coach Jon Davy was recently named
assistant soccer coach at Division I University of Massachusetts by head coach
Sam Koch. Davey, who was named an NSCAA All-Region and First Team
All-PSAC forward in 2000, has been an assistant coach for the Bald Eagles the
past two years.
While
playing midfield and forward on the Haven soccer squad from 1998-2002, the
Grimsby, England native collected 12 goals and 11 assists, and was a
PSAC-Scholar Athlete. He also obtained an undergraduate degree in recreation
management.
“(LHU head
coach) Doug Moore allowed me to be his right hand man here, getting
experience and training, recruiting and game-day operations,” Davy said. “The
main reason I came back was to work with Doug. His experience in the game
helped teach me what it takes to be successful as a coach.”
Davey also
acquired a master of liberal arts degree and is currently working towards a
master of education from LHU. His accomplishments here at LHU helped Koch
choose Davy for the position.
“We’re very
excited about having Davy join us,” commented Koch. “He’s an outstanding
addition to the team. We’re very impressed with his passion and enthusiasm and
we can’t wait to have him come and start with us.”
