Daniel Altro enters his third season as head coach of the Pace University women's volleyball team.  Altro is looking to build on the past success of the program, with emphasis on recruiting to improve on last year's 10-19 overall record and 8-6 conference finish, earning their second consecutive birth in the Northeast-10 Conference Tournament.  Coach Altro has the Setters back on track to regain their dominance of the Northeast-10.
 
Altro comes to Pace as the former head coach of Carmel (NY) High School.  During his tenure at Carmel, Altro was able to turn around a program that finished 2-22 the year before he took control, to a team that finished 23-6 in his first season.  Prior to Carmel, Altro was the associate head coach for Western Connecticut State University.  Through his recruiting efforts, the Colonials achieved one ECAC and three NCAA postseason playoff runs. 
 
Coach Altro is currently the director for the Downstate Junior Volleyball Club.  Under his guidance, Downstate has produced numerous NCAA Division I and II scholarship athletes.  Several of his former players have gone on to achieve all-American status in college.  In addition to these honors, several of his players are currently playing professionally in Europe and Puerto Rico. 

Altro coached his women's USA Volleyball GEVA Regional championship team, "DAC Team Kaepa" to a 2^nd place finish at the 2007 USA Volleyball 10^th annual Women's AA championships.
 
Coach Altro has remained active with USA Volleyball and the New York State Empire Games for the past 20 years and continues to play volleyball every chance he can get.  He currently resides in Ossining, NY where he returned after proudly serving his country in the United States Navy.
