Daniel Malone enters his third season as an assistant coach for The University of Scranton men's soccer team in 2023.
In 2022, he helped guide Scranton to an 11-7-2 mark and a Landmark Conference Championship. The Royals entered the tournament as the No. 4 seed and posted 1-0 shutout victories over Catholic and Elizabethtown.Â
Malone joined the Royals program from St. Joseph’s College of Maine, where since 2016 he served as an assistant coach for the Monks men’s soccer program.
Malone, who joined the St. Joseph’s coaching staff as a volunteer while still a student, helped the Monks turn into a consistent winner over the last five seasons.
St. Joseph’s won three straight Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) championships in 2016, 2017, and 2018 to reach the NCAA Division III Championship in each season. In all three seasons, the Monks won a game in the tournament to advance to the Second Round, as well.
The banner campaign of Malone’s time on the St. Joseph’s staff came in 2018 as the Monks finished a historic campaign with a 21-1-0 ledger. The Monks also entered the NCAA Tournament unbeaten and untied and ranked in the Top 10 nationally, as well.
In four seasons of competition (the Monks’ 2020 campaign was canceled because of COVID-19), Malone helped St. Joseph’s post a 71-5-11 (.879) overall mark, along with an undefeated 37-0-4 (.951) ledger in GNAC regular season contests.
Since 2019, Malone also was the head coach for St. Joseph’s reserve team. And, since March of 2020, Malone has served as a coach for the 2008 Maine Olympic Development Program boys team.
Malone earned his bachelor of arts degree from St. Joseph’s in 2017 in History/Secondary Education.
