Following her career in the green and gold, former Hornet goalkeeper Danielle Davis joined the Sacramento State women's soccer coaching staff prior to the 2022 season -- her first foray into coaching.

Davis, who was a member of the Sacramento State roster for three seasons from 2019-21 after transferring from Diablo Valley College, will be tasked with helping train the Hornet keepers. She finished with 21 career wins and eight shutouts in her two seasons at Diablo Valley, earning Big 8 Conference Defensive MVP honors as a sophomore in 2018-19, while leading the league with 116 saves.

The Antioch, Calif., native prepped at Deer Valley HS, where she was Bay Valley Athletic League MVP and earned all-conference first team honors as a senior, and played club for the Delta Arsenal for four seasons.

"We are really excited to add Danielle Davis to our coaching staff," Dedini said. "Danielle brings such a positive vibe and a contagious energy to our team. She has a strong knowledge of the position and will help with our goalkeeping group as well as giving us overall support to our program.

"Her enthusiastic approach to trainings and eagerness to help our program win a Big Sky Conference championship will be a welcome addition."
