BENNINGTON, Vt. – 19 years after co-founding the Southern Vermont College/St. Joseph's College Athletics Hall of Fame, Scott McKenzie was inducted to the Hall as the 25th member on Monday evening during the Department of Athletics' annual awards banquet.
McKenzie, currently the head women's soccer coach at Juniata College in Pennsylvania, served as the head women's soccer coach from 1992-99 at SVC, also helping as an assistant for the men's soccer and baseball programs at times. His 1993 women's soccer team won the Colonial States Conference Championship, and four of his teams reached the ten-win plateau (1994, 1996, 1997, 1999).
"It is one of the greatest honors of my career to be in the company of those great athletes up on the wall," said McKenzie. "To be alongside the Tim Baldics, Patrick Monaghans, and Raphael Salazars up there is something very special."
McKenzie coached eight women's soccer all-conference selections during his tenure as a coach. He also spent time working for the Office of Admissions and as the department's sports information director. The Scott McKenzie Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Year awards are named in his honor for all the hard work and contributions to students' success he provided while working at Southern Vermont.
