Morristown, NJ. – Saint Elizabeth University today announced that Dan Furbeck has been appointed Head Baseball Coach. Furbeck joined the Saint Elizabeth University Baseball staff in its 2019 inaugural season.
 
He specialized in coaching infielders, outfielders, and catchers throughout the various seasons. In 2022, he became the program's recruiting coordinator. Shortly after rising to manage the offense, he assumed the third base coaching responsibility and managed other positional coaches.

During Dan's tenure, the team has reached back-to-back playoff berths in its first two seasons post-COVID. In 2019, the baseball team won its first game ever played and posted a .300 BA while finishing its inaugural season with 59 home runs and 180 doubles. The program has had nine all-conference honorees and posted a .955 fielding percentage in 2023.
 
"Dan's involvement in the growth of the new program and various managerial roles throughout the campus made him an excellent candidate to grow the baseball program into a new chapter of success," said Jennifer Virgil, Director of Athletics at Saint Elizabeth University.

Furbeck graduated from Kean University with a degree in Science and Mathematics. In 2022, he assumed the role as the Director of Student Employment at Saint Elizabeth, where he managed all student workers on campus.
