Scott MacLean (Mah-cLaine) enters his second season guiding the women's soccer program in 2023-24 after Athletic Director Tim Seil promoted MacLean from an assistant to head coach February 25, 2022.  MacLean moved into a full-time role on the campus in August 2023 and will also serve as the Weight Room Coordinator inside the Hafner Recreation Center.

MacLean continues to help change the culture and expectations within the women's soccer program.  At the conclusion of the 2023 season, MacLean was tabbed the AMCC Co-Coach of the Year after guiding the team to the program's highest seed ever in the AMCC postseason tournament.  The No. 3 Hawks hosted the college's very first AMCC post-season tournament game and concluded the season with a 5-3-1 league record with a 7-9-1 overall record.  He developed three all-conference selections with Grace Zabawa earning her second consecutive honor.  Zabawa, Chloe Champagne and Kaitlin Sobczak were all named to the Second Team all-league in addition to MacLean's first post-season honor as a coach.

His 2022 Hawks qualified for the AMCC post-season tournament for the first time since 2016 and concluded the season with at 6-8-3 and 3-3-1 in league action.  The women's soccer team produced an offensive uptick in 2022 as they broke into the program's Top 5 all-time single season records in multiple categories: No. 3 shots on goal (127) and SOG/game (7.47), No. 4 in Points (82), Points/game (4.82), Goals (32), Goals/game (1.88), Shots (258), and shots/game (15.18). 

MacLean has worked hard on building a winning culture and this fall it paid off quite quickly as senior F Grace Zabawa and sophomore M Chloe Champagne were named All-Conference players.  Zabawa became only the fourth Hilbert player to be placed on the AMCC First Team while Champagne was recognized as a Third Team All-Conference player after her first, full season on the pitch.  

As a first-year assistant coach in 2021, MacLean helped the Hawks to a 4-9-1 in 2021 which included four losses (3 in overtime) decided by a one-goal margin.  Hilbert came together as a team and showed improvement technically and tactically while displaying enthusiasm and intensity on the pitch as they earned more wins in the 2021 season than they did over the three previous years (2017-2019).   

MacLean is the Director of Coaching for the Orchard Park Soccer Club, establishing the Select program along with coaching multiple high-level teams including the '03 Girls Select team, the '04 Boys Select team and the '05 Boys Select team.   He was an ODP assistant coach in 2014 for the '96 boys as well as an Empire Staff coach.  Recently he has functioned as a College-Prep Liaison for the Young America Soccer Club.  He has also coached both the boys and girls in the WNY High School All-Star game for the last 10 years (2011-2021). 

Since 2016, MacLean has been the owner of Soccer Home Training which provides individual, small group, and team training as well as runs camps, clinics, academies and courses for all ages and skill levels.   Through his multiple club and community connections he has utilized Soccer Home to continue to help the WNY Soccer community grow, develop, and excel. 

MacLean actually began his coaching career while a student-athlete at the University of Buffalo.  In his third season of Division I competition MacLean sustained a season-ending injury in 2003 which forced him to the sidelines to recover.  In 2004 he founded the UB club soccer team and served as the vice president/coach.  The following two seasons (05, 06) he played and coached the club team and led them to a lofty 2nd ranked team in the northeast region in 2006.

MacLean's scholastic coaching career took off in 2011.  The Evans, N.Y. native served as an assistant high school coach at Lakeshore (2011-13) and became the director of coaching for Lakeshore Youth Soccer Association in 2012 and 2013. 

MacLean earned a bachelor's degree in nuclear medicine in 2007 and an MBA in hospital administration from American Intercontinental University in 2010.  He holds a National Youth license, a USSF National C license and is an active member for United Soccer Coaches.
