Dave Metzendorf
Metzendorf comes to the Crusaders after spending the past three years on the staff at Cornell University. There, he served as an assistant coach for the last two seasons and played a key role in the Big Red's recruiting.
Specifically, Metzendorf coached the backcourt which included two of the Ivy League's top three scorers in Matt Morgan, 19 points per game, and Robert Hatter, 17 points per game, with Morgan breaking the Ivy League single season record for points scored by a freshman.
In 2014-15, Metzendorf helped Cornell to an 11-game improvement from the previous season. The Big Red also ranked as one of the top defensive teams in the nation, leading the Ivy League and standing 18th in Division I in field goal percentage defense.
In 2013-14, Metzendorf was responsible for numerous behind the scenes tasks for Cornell including acting as film coordinator and handling team travel.
Metzendorf received a bachelors degree in sport management from Ithaca College in 2013, and his master's degree in education from Virginia Commonwealth in 2015.
