Dan Keefe enters his second season as the top assistant men’s soccer coach at Lincoln Memorial University in 2020.
In his first season, Keefe helped lead the Railsplitters to a 6-8-3 (5-4-1 SAC) record and a quarterfinal berth in the conference tournament. Additionally, Spain helped Alan Brandao earn All-Southeast Region and Scholar All-South Region honors. Brandao, Danilo Seglio, and Hunter Stroble were also named all-conference performers.
Keefe comes to LMU after four years as head coach at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg, where in 2015 he became one of the youngest head coaches in the country. During his time in Greensburg, Keefe helped develop seven All-Conference performers and 19 All-Conference Academic Team members.
In 2014, Keefe was hired at Pitt-Greensburg as an assistant coach and later promoted to associate head coach, where he worked alongside current LMU head coach Robert Spain. In his first year on staff, Keefe helped the Bobcats complete the 2014 season with one of the largest one-year improvements in NCAA Division III history.
Prior to his stay at Pitt-Greensburg, Keefe spent two years on the men’s soccer staff at Division I Seton Hall University in South Orange, N.J., working under Gerson Echeverry, the current head coach of the USL’s Rio Grande Valley FC.
Originally from Hamilton, N.J., Keefe played three seasons as a goalkeeper for Marymount University in Arlington, Va., and graduated from Seton Hall University with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism. He is a member of the United Soccer Coaches and holds a National Diploma, Goalkeeping Diploma and USSF Licensure.
