Bio
Mike Seney was announced CCBC Essex head women's basketball coach on March 26, 2019. He is the first coach since 2004 to hold this post for the Knights. In his first season at the helm, the Knights compiled a 30-2 record, including a season-high 19-game winning streak. His team won the Maryland Juco Conference title (first since 1981-1982 season), and captured the Region 20 Divsion II title and qualified for the NJCAA Division II Women's Basketball Championship Tournament for the first time since 1978.
During his five seasons at the helm of the Knights, Seney has a 161-14 (.920) overall record, with all losses coming to NJCAA Division I or Division II nationally ranked teams. He is 57-1 (.983) at home, currently on a 23-game winning streak. Seney's teams have been undefeated in conference and regional play with 74 and 88 wins respectively. Under his tenure, the Knights have won five regional championships with five tournament MVPs, 11 players named to the region All-Tournament team, and 17 players named to the All-Region team.
At the national level, the Knights have earned five national tournament berths and made four appearances (the national tournament was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic). Seney has led his team to four consecutive Final Four appearances, including two 3rd-Place finishes and a national championship title in 2023. The Knights are 12-4 at the national tournament with eight players named to the NJCAA All-Tournament team, including one tournament MVP.
In his first four seasons with the Knights, Seney has had eight players named NJCAA All-American, two NJCAA All-Academics, one national player of the year, and sent over 25 athletes on to play at the next level, 20 of which have gone Division I (this year's national postseason honors have not been selected yet).
From 2014-2019, Seney led the Harford Community College women's basketball team, compiling a 135-15 (.900) overall record, with four NJCAA Division I Women's Basketball National Tournament appearances, and five straight NJCAA Region 20 Division I and Maryland Juco tournament championships. In addition, he led the Fighting Owls to three NJCAA District C Championships, and left with an 82-game winning streak as head coach against conference opponents.
Seney has mentored three NJCAA Division I All-Americans, three Maryland Juco Players of the Year (2016-17, 2017-18, and 2018-19), 16 All-Maryland Juco team recipients, and helped guide 22 student-athletes to Division I or II institutions, most of whom received full scholarships.
Seney joined Harford's women's basketball staff as an assistant during the 2013-14 season and helped them to their then third best record (23-7) in school history, and its first NJCAA Region 20 Division I title. In 2014-15, the Fighting Owls began the season 2-4 and would go 21-2 after Seney took over as head coach.
He resides in North East, Md.
