Niall Masterson

Assistant Coach

Niall Masterson began serving as an assistant men's soccer coach at Oklahoma Christian in April 2022.

Masterson moved across town to Oklahoma City after a season as an assistant coach at Mid-America Christian. In his first season as a collegiate coach, Masterson helped guide a MACU squad that went 19-1-1, won the Sooner Athletic Conference regular-season and tournament titles and qualified for the NAIA national tournament.

Masterson played collegiately from 2012 to 2015 for Rogers State, where he was a teammate of current OC head coach Mitchell Sowerby. With the Hillcats, Masterson earned all-conference honors three times, twice in the Heartland Conference (including a first-team selection in 2015) and once in the Sooner Athletic Conference (a first-team selection in 2012). As a midfielder for Rogers State, he appeared in 53 games (34 starts), scoring 16 goals and adding 14 assists, including seven and eight, respectively, as a senior.

Before arriving at MACU, Masterson spent four years as the youth academy director and head coach of the Calvary Youth Soccer Club in College Station, Texas. At that club, he designed and implemented new player development curriculum, interviewed and hired coached, assisted with marketing and promotions and monitored both coach and player development.

Before that, from 2016-2018, Masterson served as the head coach of the Northeast Oklahoma Football Club, based in Bartlesville. With that club, he designed practice sessions, applied strategies and tactics to enhance team performances and managed individual attitudes with the goal of creating a cohesive playing environment.

Masterson graduated from Rogers State in 2016 with a bachelor's degree in Communications.
