Prior to that, Discavage coached as an assistant for Harriton High School in Rosemont, Pa., where he helped the team to a district finals appearance and a state tournament berth for the first time in 10 years. He has also assisted the Lower Merion Soccer Club since 2017.
In college, Discavage played two seasons in the Atlantic 10 Conference for the University of Rhode Island. During his time with the Rams, he played in 16 contests, making eight starts on defense as a sophomore with an assist to his credit. In high school, the Holland, Pa., native was a local standout at Council Rock High School and with FC Delco. At Council Rock, Discavage was a two-time all-state and first team all-conference selection and won two state championships.
Discavage graduated from Rhode Island in 2016 with a bachelor's degree in pharmaceutical sciences.
