Tony Coccitto is one of the best goalkeepers in the history of the men’s soccer program at AU. A four-year starter from 1988-91, he holds school records for career shutouts, career goals against average, career and single-season wins and career winning percentage.
Coccitto was a Regional All-American, the Empire Athletic Association Rookie of the Year and an EAA all-star as a freshman in 1988, when he helped lead the Saxons to a berth in the NCAA Division III championship tournament. He was in goal when AU won a share of the ECAC Upstate championship in 1990 and as a senior in 1991, when he was named an EAA conference all-star for the second time in his career.
He said his most memorable moment as an AU student-athlete came during the 1988 NCAA Division III championships, when the Saxons traveled to Clarkson University for a first-round contest and won in a shootout.
Coccitto earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Alfred in 1992 and currently he is vice president of Premier HR Solutions Group, an employee recruitment and staffing company in Rochester, NY.
He lives in Spencerport, NY, with his wife, Tracey (Thompson, AU ’92), and their daughters, Olivia and Sophia.
