Camp Staff
John Daly, Camp Director
With the tradition of William and Mary as one of
the elite academic institutions in the nation year-after-year, head coach
John Daly injects similar excellence into the College’s women’s soccer
program.
Entering his 24th year at the helm of the W&M
program, Daly prides himself in keeping the Tribe as one of the top soccer
programs in the nation and a threat for the sport’s elusive prize - the
national championship.
Daly is one of the most successful coaches in
America, ranking among the top-10 in victories (308) among his Division I
peers. He has also directed W&M to the NCAA post-season 20 times,
including 12 seasons in a row. In 2008 the Tribe advanced to the NCAA
Tournament second round, earned its third consecutive CAA regular-season
championship and finished with an outstanding 15-7-1 record.
On Oct. 3, 2008, Daly achieved his 300th career
victory with an exciting, 2-1, double-overtime win against Delaware.
The Tribe was ranked for 19 consecutive seasons
among the country’s top-20 programs, including a program-high No. 3 ranking
during the 1994 campaign. W&M is one of two colleges (along with North
Carolina) to hold the nation’s record of 27-straight winning seasons since
1982.
On the field during Daly’s tutelage, 13 W&M
soccer players have garnered a total of 29 All-America honors, including
two National Players of the Year in Megan McCarthy (1987) and four-time
All-American Natalie Neaton (1995). In addition, three Tribe players have
earned Academic All-America recognition, including Tara Flint, a two-time
selection, Anna Young, who earned first-team honors in 2006, Abby Lauer, a
third-team selection in 2008, and Dani Collins, a third-team selection in
2009.
Daly has earned four CAA Coach of the Year (1993,
1994, 1999, 2006) and five VaSID Coach of the Year (1994, 1998, 1999, 2002,
2006) honors. His 1994 team set eight school records, including goals in a
season (87) and most goals in a single match (15). During the 1999 season,
with nine freshmen on the roster, the Tribe turned in a school-record .826
winning percentage (19-4) and earned a trip to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen.
Daly has also earned Mid-Atlantic Coach of the
Year honors six times (1989, 1990, 1992, 1997, 1999, 2006). In addition to
the NCAA appearances, Daly led the Tribe to the prestigious WAGS
(Washington Area Girls’ Soccer) title in 1987 when it defeated North
Carolina in a shootout (4-3).
Daly added another honor to his resume during the
2000 season when he was named the 1999-2000 William and Mary Society of the
Alumni Coach of the Year.
A key figure in the W&M soccer scene long
before taking over as head women’s coach in 1987, Daly was an assistant
coach of the then-women’s club team on a guest basis back in 1979. In 1986,
he was a full-time assistant before ascending to his present position.
Active at many levels of soccer, Daly served as
coach of the Region I (East) team that traveled to Holland and Italy in
March 1989. In addition, he was an under 17 Region I assistant in 2002 and
2003 and under-16 Region I head coach in 2004 and 2005, coaching the
under-16 regional team against national teams from Holland, Scotland,
Ireland, Northern Ireland, and England. He is currently Region I advocate
to the national program for under-15's, under-16's and under-17's.
In April of 2000, Daly, a native of London,
England, recited the Oath of Allegiance, becoming a United States citizen
after residing in America for the last 20 years.
