Former
Titan Hired As Women's Soccer Assistant Mar. 25, 2004 – Fullerton, Calif. Former UC Irvine men’s assistant coach and former Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer letterwinner Demian Brown has been hired as an assistant women’s soccer coach with the Titans, Head Coach Ali Khosroshahin announced Thursday. He takes the place of Dana Mariotti, who left the university following the 2003 season to pursue other opportunities. “I am very excited to be bringing back one of the best defenders in Titan history to work with us,” Khosroshahin said. “We have not been as solid defensively as I would like and I believe Demian brings a great deal of experience as a player and as a coach that can benefit our team defensively. He has also been extremely active in all levels of soccer in Southern California and he has been a teacher for the past 5 years. He is a great addition to our program as well as our university.” A 1997 graduate of Cal State Fullerton with a degree in communications, Brown joins the Titans’ women’s coaching staff after spending the past five seasons with the men’s program at UC Irvine, helping to lead the Anteaters to the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament in 2000 and coaching the Big West Co-Defensive Player of the Year in 2001 (Saul Wolf). UCI finished with 12 wins and a second-place finish in the MPSF Pacific Division standings in 2000 and finished with 10 wins and a runner-up finish in the Big West in 2001. His coaching experience also includes working with one of the top girls club programs in the nation, the Slammers FC out of Newport Beach, serving as a head coach in the club since 1999. Brown was also the boys head coach at Canyon High School in Anaheim Hills, Calif., leading that school into the CIF quarterfinals in 2000. As a defender for the Titans (1992-94, 1996), Brown helped lead Cal State Fullerton to the 1993 College Cup Final Four and was selected to the 1993 NCAA All-Tournament Team. A two-time MPSF selection, he finished his career with four goals and three assists, and also participated in the 1994 U.S. Olympic Festival in St. Louis. ####
