Scott Mocabee is in his ninth year at his alma mater as an assistant coach. A former goalie for the Cougar men, Mocabee works directly with the Cougar goalkeepers, and he has mentored each of the top 3 goalkeepers in program history, including current senior Jill Colfer-Martinson, 2003 graduate Melissa Strother and 1999 graduate Rachel Yanos.

Under his tutelage, Cougar goalkeepers have combined for 93 shutouts in 169 games while posting a collective 0.58 goals against average.

A successful head coach in his own right at the high school level, Mocabee has been the girls’ soccer head coach the past 10 years at South Hills High in West Covina, Calif., where he led the Huskies to the first San Antonio League title in program history. He also guided the Huskies through a deep playoff run that included a first-round upset in the CIF playoffs over No. 4-ranked Canyon High. For his efforts, Mocabee was named the 2007 San Gabriel Valley Tribune Coach of the Year. Mocabee has led South Hills to numerous other CIF appearances, including a quarterfinal berth in 2000.

Prior to his time at South Hills, Mocabee spent 1 season (1996-97) as Surrell’s assistant at Bonita High in La Verne, Calif. There, Mocabee and Surrell guided the Bearcats to a Valle Vista league championship and a CIF semifinal appearance.

Mocabee played 3 seasons with the Cougar men, appearing in goal for 18 games, allowing 13 goals while posting 6 shutouts. His best season came as a 1994 sophomore when he started 7 of the first 12 games and fashioned a 0.55 GAA while collecting 4 shutouts, including blankings of Cal Poly Pomona and GSAC rival Fresno Pacific. However, a broken arm suffered in practice cost him the final 10 games of the season.

Prior to coming to Azusa Pacific, Mocabee prepped at nearby San Dimas (Calif.) High where he was an All-Montview League honoree in water polo, tennis and soccer. As a 1992 senior, he was named league MVP in soccer after registering a 0.60 GAA in league play.

Mocabee graduated from Azusa Pacific in 1997 with a bachelor’s degree in math. He is in his 11th year teaching math at South Hills High. His parents, George and Norma, both work at Azusa Pacific.

Scott and his wife, Chrystal, also an Azusa Pacific alum, reside in Covina.
