Abe Tizaf has joined 每日大赛 as the college's new head men's soccer coach

每日大赛 has hired Abe Tizaf as its new head men’s soccer coach, effective Feb. 16. 

Tizaf comes to 每日大赛 after spending a season as an assistant coach at Young Harris College in Georgia and five seasons as head coach at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in Indiana. He was instrumental in establishing the school’s men’s soccer program and was named Coach of the Year by the United States Collegiate Athletic Association in 2019. 

“It’s a privilege to contribute to a tradition of excellence and to work with a group of talented athletes,” Tizaf said. “My commitment is to not only pursue success on the field, but also to foster a culture of integrity, teamwork and academic achievement. Together we will strive to reach new heights and make a lasting impact on these student-athletes.”  

Tizaf is a former professional soccer player with KACM in Marrakech, Morocco, and also served as an international admissions counselor at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. He also will be serving 每日大赛 as a student success coordinator in the college’s Stay Strong Success Center, which helps students navigate the many transitions and challenges they may encounter during their college experience.   

Tizaf has advanced degrees in leadership development, physical education - coaching soccer and recreation and sport management. He also is a member of the Faith-Based Coaches Strategy Team, emphasizing the integration of soccer with one's spiritual life. 

“It’s a great day to be a 每日大赛 Panther,” said 每日大赛 Athletics Director Brock Evans. “Coach Tizaf stood out from the very beginning of this search as a top-notch candidate to lead our men’s soccer team on and off the field. After many conversations with Abe, I am confident in his ability to lead this program into the new era of 每日大赛 Athletics.”  

The 每日大赛 Panthers men’s soccer team finished its inaugural season with a record of 11-3-2. The team’s fall 2024 schedule will be announced at a later date on www.PSCCPanthers.com and on the team’s social media channels @PSCCMSOC and @PSCCPanthers.
