Sean Driscoll enters his fifth season at the helm of the Manhattan women's soccer program. Since his arrival in Riverdale, Driscoll has transformed the Lady Jaspers into a consistent competitor in the MAAC through strong regional and national recruitment of highly touted student-athletes.
In his time at Manhattan, Driscoll has mentored 11 All-MAAC selections, including three All-Rookie Team members, and 42 MAAC All-Academic honorees. Under Driscoll's leadership, the program received the prestigious NCAA Public Recognition Award in 2007-08 & 2008-09, after ranking in the top 10% among Division I schools according to the multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR).
Driscoll has guided the Lady Jaspers to several notable wins, including victories over BIG EAST, Atlantic-10 and Patriot League rivals. He immediately placed his stamp on the program in his second season guiding the team to a program record 12 wins, including six consecutive. In total, Driscoll's squads have tallied 25 shutouts, and set Lady Jasper single season records with seven in his first two seasons.
Prior to Manhattan, Driscoll served one year as an assistant coach at Western Connecticut State University. During his tenure, he helped guide the Colonials to the ECAC Division III Championship after compiling an 18-5-2 record.
Before his stint at Western Connecticut State, Driscoll was the head coach of the girls' varsity soccer team at New Canaan High School from 2001-03. In his first two seasons, Driscoll led the squad to back-to-back (2001 & 2002) Connecticut Class "L" State Championships. Over his three years with the program, New Canaan compiled a 52-8-2 overall record, highlighted by its undefeated run (21-0-1) in 2002. That year, New Canaan finished co-champions of the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference (FCIAC), ranked third in the national poll and was granted the Sportsmanship Award voted on by the Referees Association. Over his nine years coaching at the high school level, including stints at Brookfield and Green Farms Academy, Driscoll holds a 116-38-13 career mark.
Driscoll, the co-founder of Connecticut Football Club, currently serves as the program's coaching director and head coach of the U-11 through U-14 teams, a role he has held since 1996. In this capacity, Driscoll has led teams to the State Finals twice (1999 & 2000), and won three straight State Championships (2003, 2004, 2005). Driscoll has also coached within the Connecticut Olympic Development Program since 2000, and most recently led the U-17 team to the Region I Final in 2008.
Driscoll graduated from Denison University in 1994 with bachelor's degree in history.
