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 Colleges womens soccer program.
Entering his 22nd 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 sports elusive prize - the national
championship.
Daly is one of the most successful coaches in America, ranking among
the top-10 in victories (293) among his Division I peers. He has also directed W&M to the NCAA post-season
19 times, including 12 seasons in a row. In 2007 the Tribe
advanced to the NCAA Tournament second round, earned its second consecutive CAA
regular-season championship and finished with an outstanding 15-5-2 record.
On Oct. 11, 2000, Daly achieved his 200th career victory with an exciting,
1-0, overtime win against Richmond.
The Tribe was ranked for 19 consecutive seasons among the countrys
top-20 programs, including a program-high No. 3 ranking during the
1994 campaign. W&M is one of three colleges (along with Connecticut
and North Carolina) to hold the nations record of 25-straight
winning seasons since 1982.
On the field during Dalys tutelage, 13 W&M soccer players
have garnered a total of 26 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 Robin Lotze, a three-time
selection, and Janet Sury, who earned second-team honors in 2001.
Daly has earned four CAA Coach of the Year (1993, 1994, 1999, 2006) and
VaSID Coach of the Year (1994, 1998, 1999) 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 five times
(1989, 1990, 1992, 1997, 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 womens coach in 1987, Daly was an assistant coach of the
then-womens 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. |
