Mac Curran
- Title:
- Volunteer Assistant Men's Soccer Coach
Mac Curran recently wrapped up his first season as a member of the Bowling Green State University men’s soccer coaching staff in 2019. Curran joined the Falcons after a standout playing career at Penn State University.
“I am excited to be joining a world-class institution and coaching staff,” said Curran at the time of his hiring. “I look forward to competing in the MAC and bringing national success to the university and soccer program here at Bowling Green.”
The 2019 season saw the Falcons win 13 contests, the highest total in five years and only the second double-digit victory total since 1998. The Brown and Orange kept 11 clean sheets, recording a double-figure shutout total for the first time since that '98 campaign.
BG advanced to the MAC Tournament's championship match for the first time in five years. Along the way, the Falcons downed Northern Illinois at home in the quarterfinal round, then defeated Akron on the Zips' home field in the semifinals. The latter match marked BGSU's first victory over the Zips since 2002, and was the program's first road win since 1997.
The 2019 Falcons more than doubled the win total from the previous season. BG won four total matches vs. MAC foes in a season for the first time since 2003.
BGSU landed a school-record six players on the All-MAC Team in 2019, as Anthony Mwembia and Achille Robin made the first team, while Chris Brennan, Zach Buescher, Charlie Maciejewski and Chris Sullivan all were named to the second team. Mwembia and Robin went on to be named to the United Soccer Coaches All-Region Team as well.
Curran earned four letters for the Nittany Lions, amassing career totals of seven goals and 14 points. He scored three goals as a senior, tying for the team lead, and deadlocked for second on the 2018 club with six points.
“We tried to get Mac as a player, and although we lost out that time around, we are very happy to add him to our program now,” said Nichols at the time of Curran's hiring. “With Mac fresh off of his playing career, we are excited to tap into his ‘players perspective’ and help get his coaching career started.”
In his PSU career, Curran played in 53 total matches, starting 23. Three of his seven career goals proved to be game winners, including his goal vs. Ohio State in his senior season.
Curran had a pair of goals as a freshman – including the game-winning goal in his collegiate debut – and also found the back of the net twice in his junior season. The Nittany Lions were a perfect 7-0-0 in matches in which Curran scored.
A native of York, Pa., Curran prepped at Dallastown Area High School, and also played for the PA Classics Academy. He also played football for Dallastown, where he was a Pennsylvania Football News all-state kicker as a senior in 2014.
