Site Director – Sandy Kapatos
Sandy Kapatos, Head Coach, Ravenscroft Head Coach
Kapatos began his coaching career at SUNY Cortland, as a defensive coordinator and goalkeeper coach, from 1980–81. The Red Dragons went to the NCAA Division II national championship game in both of those years. Kapatos earned a bachelor's degree in physical education at SUNY Cortland in 1981 during that time, as well.
Following Cortland, Kapatos returned to Long Island to become the coach at Holy Trinity High School. He amassed a 24–12 record over three seasons, leading Trinity to consecutive NSCLL finals. Kapatos was subsequently named the head coach at MacArthur High School, in his native Levittown in 1989, where he compiled a three–year record of 24–12 and was named the Coach of the Year.
As Head Coach at Adelphi University, Coach Kapatos compiled a record of 16–6 in NCAA tournament games, which included a 4–2 record in NCAA Division II championship games, and he tied for the most championships won in Division II. His four championship appearences (during a seven–year run from 1993–1999), ended with the Panthers winning back–to–back titles in 1998 and 1999.
Kapatos, the fifth head coach in the Adelphi program history, has a career record of 102–43 (.703 winning percentage) over 12 seasons. He has developed 59 All–Americans, including national players of the year, Anthony Piccone (1998), Rob Grella (1996), and Gary Reh (1995).
