Under his tutelage on the offensive end, the Greyhounds produced six attackers/midfielders on an all-GLIAC team and three on an all-region squad, including two first-teamers in Delaney Davidson and Lauryn Hardoy.

Prior to taking the head job, Delaney was the Hounds’ offensive coordinator in 2017, helping the second-year program finish 13-5 overall and 5-2 in the GLIAC, more than double its win total from 2016. Delaney mentored GLIAC Attacker of the Year, Chalane Morrison, as well as All-GLIAC second-teamer Anna Rulapaugh and Honorable Mention recipient Grace Gunneson.

The three helped UIndy score more than 14 goals per game, and each finished in the top 12 among GLIAC attackers in points. UIndy also set program records for goals in a 26-3 rout against Northern Michigan, and Morrison claimed both the goals (8) and points (11) single-game records in 2017.

Delaney, a 2013 graduate of Seton Hill University, came to the Circle City following a two-year stint as an assistant at GLIAC-rival Tiffin University. In his time with the Dragons, the Vancouver native helped direct the program to its first win over a nationally-ranked opponent – a 16-15 OT win over perennial GLIAC-power Grand Valley State in 2016. It was GVSU’s first conference loss in four-plus seasons.

Additionally, for the first time in program history Tiffin received votes in 2016 in the IWLCA Coaches Poll. Delaney helped mold attacker Emily Roussel, who tallied a conference-high 145 goals over two seasons. Her IWLCA All-America Second-Team nod in 2016 was just the second All-American honor in school history. The other came in the form of former goalie Jessica Bombard, who was a First Team All-American in 2015 under the tutelage of Delaney.

A three-time USILA All-American during his playing days, the former Seton Hill standout still ranks as the school’s all-time leading scorer from the Midfield position. Delaney was twice named the USILA Midfielder of the Year and captained the 2013 Griffin team that qualified for the program’s first-ever NCAA Tournament. He was inducted into the Seton Hill Hall of Fame in July 2018.

After his time with the Griffins, Delaney was selected in the second round of the 2013 National Lacrosse League Draft by the Philadelphia Wings, and was later drafted by the Ohio Machine in the 2014 Major League Lacrosse Draft.
