Veteran coach Chris Condron rejoined the Drew women’s soccer coaching staff as an assistant coach ahead of the 2015 season. Condron had previously served on head coach Christa Racine's staff from 2005-07.
Condron is a 1994 graduate of Elizabethtown (PA) College, where he played four years. In four seasons, Condron played on four NCAA Division III Tournament teams, which posted a combined record of 82-10-6. He contributed 25 goals and 19 assists in his career. He went on to play after college with the New Jersey Riptide.
As a college head coach, Condron guided Keuka College, an NCAA Division III program in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, in 2001 and 2002. Keuka was conference champion both years and he earned Coach of the Year honors in 2001 before leading his team to the ECAC postseason semifinals the following year.
Moving to New Jersey, Condron was head coach of Rutgers-Newark in 2003 and 2004. As an assistant coach, he was on the staff at Clarkson University and later coached at Kean University (2012-13).
Between college posts, he was varsity ‘B’ team head coach at national prep power St. Benedict’s Prep in Newark. Indeed, including his past as head coach at Rutgers-Newark and his work at St. Benedict’s, his addition to the staff at NJIT gives him the rare trifecta of having coached soccer at three schools in the University Heights neighborhood of Newark.
He has extensive camp and club coaching experience and he served two seasons as North American scout for a professional team in Belgium.
