Hartwick soccer coach heading to Syracuse

Staff Report

Ian McIntyre is leaving Hartwick College to become the men’s soccer coach at Syracuse University, Hartwick College said Wednesday.

McIntyre, the head coach of the Hawks’ Division I program since 2003, graduated from Hartwick in 1996, earning All-America status during his senior season.

The Hawks went 71-36-25 during McIntyre’s seven seasons as coach. This past season, Hartwick finished 10-4-4, including a 2-1 victory over Syracuse on Oct. 13.

McIntyre replaces Oneonta native Dean Foti, who was fired in November after a 3-15 season. Foti coached the Orange from 1991-2009 and left with a 141-171-33 record.

Before taking over for Jim Lennox at Hartwick, McIntyre coached Oneonta State from 1998-2002.
