inaugural soccer coach for the men’s program that will start in August 2016. Sasnett officially joined the Falcons on Dec. 1.
“We are extremely excited that Bart is joining our institution; he brings a strong coaching resume to our program,” said Director of Athletics Will Dunne. “The position drew many inquiries, and Bart stood out early in the review process.”
Sasnett recently completed his 9th season as the head coach at Darton State College in Albany, Georgia. During his tenure at Darton State, the Cavaliers men’s soccer program compiled an overall record of 123-42-4 (.727). Sasnett now has an overall record of 186-94-15 for his career.
Coach Sasnett’s teams have had plenty of highlights during his tenure. The Cavaliers were ranked in the top 10 in the NJCAA national poll throughout the past five years. From 2010-2013 the Cavaliers won a remarkable 33 straight games in GCAA Region VII play. The Cavaliers were ranked #1 in the country the entire season and have been undefeated in region play for two straight seasons going 22-0.
“We believe that Bart will come in and immediately help us establish our program, and his student-athletes will be strong contributors to our academic mission and student-success focus,” Dunne said.
Sasnett hails from Fort Walton Beach, Fla., where he attended Choctaw High School. He went on to attend Andrew College and Tennessee Weselyan College where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sport Science and a master’s degree in Athletic Administration. Sasnett played professionally for the Knoxville Strom of the Indoor Soccer League, and he also holds NSCAA National, Advanced National and Premier coaching diplomas.
“I would like to thank President LoBasso, Will Dunne and the search committee for the chance to lead the men’s soccer program at Daytona State and become a Falcon,” Sasnett stated. “It has been a dream of mine to have the opportunity to create a program from the ground up, and I’m excited to get started.”
