QUEENS, N.Y. – St. John's Women's Soccer Head Coach Ian Stone announced the promotion of Samantha Masur to Assistant Coach on Wednesday afternoon.
"Everyone associated with our program is very excited that Sam will become our full-time assistant coach," said Stone. "She has progressed from being a student-athlete, to being an outstanding team captain, to taking on the volunteer coach position, to excelling as our director of operations and now this position."
Masur previously served as director of women's soccer operations following a stellar playing career with the Johnnies.
As the director of operations, Masur helped guide the fall 2021 team to an impressive 13-7-3 record and a 6-3-1 mark in conference play. The Red Storm reached the BIG EAST Tournament championship for the first time since the 1994 campaign and first-ever NCAA Tournament Round of 16 appearance.
The Johnnies made the most of their trip to the postseason, as they took down Brown 1-0 on the Bears' home pitch. St. John's followed the match with a stunning takedown of Samford, advancing on penalty kicks, to reach the NCAA Tournament Round of 16.
Masur joined the Red Storm staff following a sensational playing career with the Johnnies. A two-year captain of the St. John's squad, she appeared in 53 total matches, while making the starting 11 on 38 occasions.
The Monclair, N.J., native saw her best offensive output come during her senior campaign, as the 5-foot-7 midfielder capped off her Red Storm career with a season-high two goals and four points. She netted her first career goal by way of a game-winner in the Johnnies victory over Syracuse on Sept. 12, 2019.
An outstanding student-athlete on and off the field, Masur graduated from St. John's in 2019 with a 3.63 GPA and a bachelor's degree in sport management.
