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 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 sport’s 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 country’s 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 nation’s record of 25-straight winning seasons since 1982. On the field during Daly’s 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 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. |
