Ramapo College of New Jersey Athletics

Coach DJ Pinton enters his 16th season as head coach of the Ramapo College Men’s Soccer team.  In his 15 years as the head coach he has compiled a 149-103-32 overall record.  Coach Pinton also played for the program for three years (1995-1998) after transferring in from Sacred Heart University and served as an assistant to the program for four years (2000-2003) before taking over the reins at the start of the 2004 season.

A three-year member of the Roadrunner men’s soccer team, Pinton left his mark as one of the top players in program history.  In his first year with the program the team reached its first ever post-season berth qualifying for the ECAC Tournament, falling short in the semi-finals.  In his second season he helped guide the men’s soccer team to a 16-5-1 record and the programs first ever post-season championship winning the ECAC title.  That same year, Pinton received the first of his consecutive First Team All-New Jersey Athletic Conference honors, and was named the 1997 Ramapo College Athlete of the Year.   In his final season as a Roadrunner, Pinton helped lead the team to its first ever NCAA Tournament appearance and collected Mid-Atlantic Regional All-American honors on top of his all-conference and all-state honors.  In 2006 he was inducted into the Ramapo College Athletic Hall of Fame for his tremendous contributions on the soccer field.

Coach Pinton also spent time overseas training with Italian professional club A.C. Arezzo under then Head Coach Serse Cosmi.  In his spare time he is also involved with youth soccer serving as the Director of the Cosmos Soccer Camps and has coached several club teams.
