Dan Kane is entering his fifth season at Wells College as the
Head Men's Soccer and Mixed Golf Coach. In January of 2013, Kane
was named the Assistant Athletic Director for Facilities and will
be responsible for all athletic facilities outside of the pool and
fitness center. In addition, he will serve as a department liaison
to the Wells College Buildings and Grounds Department.
During Kane's four years as Head Coach of the men's soccer team,
the program has increased its winning percentage each season.
During the 2012 calendar, Kane's program set a program record with
eight victories, including five North Eastern Athletic Conference
wins. Additionally, his team ranked 10th across all NCAA Division
III programs in save percentage (.858) while also leading the NEAC
in goals-against average (1.05) and fewest goals allowed (17).
In 2011, Kane's team finished with a 7-10 record and posted the
longest winning streak in program history, ending with a 6-2
victory over Keystone College on Sept. 13, 2011. Cumulatively,
Kane's players have been awarded placement on nine All-Conference
squads since 2009 including one regional All-American award
recipient (Delroy Roberts).
Kane’s teams have also improved in the classroom. Their team
grade point average has improved consistently each season dating
back to his hiring and they have had three academic All-Americans
during his tenure (Derek Wheeler ’10, Braden Allen ‘11
and Patrick Sodums ‘12).
Kane currently coaches the U18 TC-WAZA club team based in Ithaca,
N.Y. He previously spent time as the assistant men’s soccer
coach at Goucher College in Baltimore, Md. Additionally, Kane also
coached the '95 Maryland Olympic Development Program on a trip to
Scotland.
Earning his undergraduate degree in philosophy from The Catholic
University of America in Washington D.C., Kane was a three year
starter for the men’s soccer team, earning All-Conference
honors in 2004. Across his four year career, Kane scored 11 goals
and seven assists for 29 points (11-7=29) in 68 career contests for
the Cardinals.
Kane also holds a post-graduate degree in education with a
specialization in athletic leadership and program administration
from Goucher College and holds his USSF D License.
Kane resides with his wife, Shannon, in Skaneateles, N.Y.
