PISCATAWAY, N.J. (Via Rutgers University) – Rutgers head coach Dan Donigan has announced the addition of Tyler Stakiwicz to the coaching staff as an assistant and goalkeeper coach.
“I am honored, humbled, and excited to be joining the Rutgers Soccer coaching staff,” said Stakiwicz. “I would like to thank Coach Donigan and Coach Beck for giving me the opportunity to coach at the very highest level of college soccer in this country. As a New Jersey native myself, I am well-acquainted with the proud history of Rutgers Soccer, and look forward to becoming a part of the winning tradition. I would also like to thank everyone at Montclair State University for helping me to begin my coaching career, but especially Rob Chesney and Todd Tumelty for their guidance, mentorship, and friendship.”
