Director of Athletics
Dr. Edward M. Matejkovic

Dr. Edward M. Matejkovic (mat-a-KO-vik) begins his 11th year as the Director of Athletics. A 1969 graduate of WCU, Matejkovic spent the previous 11 years at SUNY-Brockport, a Division III school located in New York.

From May of 1990 until his arrival at WCU, Matejkovic held the dual role of athletic director and head football coach.

Under his guidance, the West Chester University athletic program has continued to flourish. Scholarship allotments have grown, the program’s winning percentage has increased and WCU’s finish in the Dixon Trophy standings has steadily improved. This past year WCU athletic teams won five PSAC Conference titles and finished 23 out of 297 schools in the Sports Academy Division II Directors’ Cup standings.

Matejkovic’s experience and success as an athletic administrator have earned him involvement in several conference and regional committees. He is the president of the PSAC Executive Committee and continues to serve the PSAC on numerous other committees. He is also a member of the ECAC Board of Directors, the ECAC Finance Committee and the ECAC Membership Committee. He served as president of the ECAC during 2002-03.

In addition, Matejkovic served on the NCAA Student Athlete Reinstatement Committee, the NCAA Division II East Region Men’s Basketball Championship selection committee and is currently on the Board of Directors of the Division II Athletic Directors Association as the second vice president. He was recently appointed by the NCAA to the Football Task Force - a committee reviewing scholarship allocations in the sport.

A native of Coatesville, PA, Matejkovic earned both his bachelor’s and master’s from WCU, and his doctorate in sports administration/athletic facility management from Temple University. Matejkovic joined the staff of SUNY-Brockport in 1984 where he first served as an assistant professor and coordinator of the Sport Management program.

As head football coach from 1986-94, he racked up more wins in a season, and in a career, than any coach in the school’s history. Matejkovic guided his team to the school’s first ever post-season contest - the 1993 ECAC Division III Northeast Championship game. Matejkovic was also named SUNYAC Coach of the Year while serving as head track and field coach.

In 1990, he was named Brockport’s athletic director and promptly turned the program around in just four years. Along with the successful Golden Eagle football team, Brockport’s wrestling program won a national title and its volleyball team captured four straight SUNYAC crowns.

On September 22, 2001, Matejkovic was inducted into the Brockport Athletic Hall of Fame. In June of 2003, he was selected to the Temple University "Gallery of Success."
