Matt Malone is entering his seventh season as Assistant Men’s Soccer Coach for the Tiger’s program. In the past six seasons Coach Malone has had the opportunity to primarily manage the development squad and prepare the younger Tigers for success with the first team. Coach Malone also assists Coach Hoxie with the first team in training, game day preparations, and game management.
“I am very excited to have Coach Matt back on the sideline with me. It is weird to think about, but he has been with me since the very beginning as he was a part of my first recruiting class. The success that this program has achieved, is largely due to Matt’s commitment, loyalty, and desire to give back. His leadership with the players and work with them bears fruit on a daily basis. He is invaluable to us,” Coach Hoxie added.
The 2023 season is a massive opportunity for the players the program has developed over the previous years. Coach Malone commented, “Last season’s end saw the graduation of a number of leaders within the squad, leaving room for new players to step into big roles on the team. I’m excited to see how these players rise to the challenge left to them.”
Matt Malone played for Coach Hoxie for all four of his collegiate seasons, captaining the squad in his senior season, and experienced post-season play in three out of his four years as a Tiger. “It is a privilege to be able to give back to the same program that taught me so much about the game and helped to shape me into the man I am today.”
Matt is married to his wife Shannon, who was an All-American for the Tiger Women’s Soccer team during her time at the college, and they live locally with their two dogs. He works as the Institutional Effectiveness Analyst for the college and attends Crosspoint Church.
