Maine Maritime Academy Swim Coach Takes Fordham Post

Maine Maritime Academy head swim coach Hayley Masi has resigned her position at the Castine school to accept the assistant coaching position at Fordham University. Masi was named the academy’s interim coach in December 2018 and then in March 2019 was named head coach. During her year at the academy, the first year of the program as an NCAA sport, Masi coached the team to three victories and qualified five swimmers for the New England Intercollegiate Championships. The academy’s athletics director, Steve Peed, said his intent is to have a new coach appointed prior to the start of the season later this month. Masi, a New Jersey native, swam for the University of Massachusetts, where she captained the 2017-2018 team.
