Matt Madalon

Matt Madalon joined the Stevens Institute of Technology men’s lacrosse coaching staff as an assistant in August of 2007. He is currently in his fifth season and has worked on both the defensive and offensive side of the ball. He will work primarily with the Ducks' offense and goalkeepers in 2012.

In 2011, Madalon helped lead the Ducks offensive unit to an impressive 16-3 record with a goals per game average of 16.4 (second in the NCAA).

In 2009, Madalon helped goalkeeper Dave Decker earn USILA honorable mention All-America accolades, while helping guide Stevens to a 9-6 overall mark and a 5-3 record against conference opponents.

In 2009, Madalon was an integral part in Decker being named the conference Goalkeeper of the Year and a second-team USILA All-American. He was also part of a 2008 staff that saw a young Ducks team finish second in Empire 8 and reach the Empire 8 Tournament Semifinals in their first year in the league. He also helped Decker to a fantastic freshman campaign that saw him finish with a .664 save percentage.

In each of his first four seasons, the Stevens defense has been a strength of the team, ranking in the top-20 nationally in a variety of defensive statistical categories.

Madalon began his collegiate lacrosse career at Division I Hofstra University. After he red-shirted in 2002, Madalon played for the Pride in 2003 before transferring to Roanoke College in Virginia for his final three seasons.

While at Roanoke, Madalon helped lead the Maroons to a pair of appearances in the national semifinals. During his junior season in 2005, Madalon was named the Old Dominion Athletic Conference Player of the Year and garnered first-team all-conference honors. He was also selected as a second-team All-American by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association after leading Roanoke to the semifinals of the NCAA Tournament, where the Maroons lost to eventual national champion Salisbury University.

Madalon continued his fine play in 2006 as he was named a second-team All-American once again. He also earned first-team All-ODAC accolades. As captain of the Maroons, Madalon guided Roanoke to the ODAC title and a return trip to the national semifinals.

After graduating from Roanoke with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History, Madalon taught history at an air force base in Aviano, Italy for six months before returning to the United States to serve as an assistant lacrosse coach at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia for the 2007 season.

A native of Darien, Conn., Madalon was acquired in the sixth round of the 2007 Major League Lacrosse supplemental draft by the San Francisco Dragons. He competed in his first season of professional lacrosse with San Francisco from April through August in 2007, and recently completed his fourth professional season as a goalkeeper for the Long Island Lizards.
