Jeremy Currier, Assistant Coach for the past season at Daniel Webster College (DWC), has been promoted to Head Coach of the men’s basketball program. Currier replaces Eddie Quick, who served as Head Coach this past season, and who has resigned to pursue other opportunities. The announcement was made by DWC Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs for Athletics Phil Rowe.

“I thank Eddie for the outstanding job he did this past season in laying the foundation for the turnaround of our men’s basketball program,” said Rowe. “I am also pleased to announce that Jeremy Currier has accepted the opportunity to lead the program. He has outstanding credentials and has demonstrated the ability to take our program to the next level. I am completely confident he will succeed in our goal of creating an annual challenger in conference play.”

Quick, Currier and Assistant Coach Mark Dunham inherited a program that had posted a winless (0-25,) campaign in 2005-2006. With the addition of seven new student-athletes including five true freshmen, the Eagles improved to 6-18 this past season, which included a return trip to the GNAC playoffs. The Eagles fell to top-seeded Western New England in the quarterfinal round Tuesday night.

“I am very excited about the opportunity to coach the Eagles program,” noted Currier. “Coach Quick did an outstanding job laying the foundation to bring this program back to prominence and our entire program is indebted to his service. I look forward to the new challenges as we continue to build a contender here at DWC.”

Currier, a native of Hampstead, N.H. and former standout at Pinkerton Academy in Derry, N.H., spent this past season as the program’s top assistant and brings a wealth of coaching knowledge to the Eagles staff.

A 2004 graduate of Endicott College in Beverly, Mass., Currier was a four-year letter winner with a Gulls program that posted a 75-35 mark, reached four straight Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Final Fours, and earned a CCC title and NCAA tournament berth in 2004.

During his tenure, Currier was Endicott’s and the CCC’s most prolific three-point shooter. In 2002-03 he finished as the NCAA Record Holder (all divisions) in three point field goal accuracy at 52-percent.

A two-time Division III All New England honoree in 2002 and 2003, Currier earned CCC All Conference honors in 2002 and 2003, Co-Player of the Year honors in 2003, was an All ECAC New England Selection and finished his career with over 1,100 points.

Currier played at Pinkerton from 1998 to 2000, where he was a Nashua Telegraph Player of the Year, a First Team All State selection, a USA Today Honorable Mention All American, two-time Boston Globe All-Scholastic, (Lawrence, Mass.) Eagle Tribune Super Selection Team honoree, and McDonald’s All-American nominee.
Currier also serves the DWC department of athletics as Intramural Coordinator.

A member of the NCAA Division III Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC), DWC sponsors 12 varsity programs including field hockey, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s cross country, women’s cross country, women’s volleyball, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s lacrosse, and women’s lacrosse. The college also sponsors club men’s ice hockey as a member of the Northeast Collegiate Hockey Association (NECHA).
