The Bob Masi Scholarship was named in honor of Bob Masi many years ago. Sadly, Bob lost his battle with cancer at that time but not before leaving his mark as a wonderful person, coach, and devoted father and husband. All three Masi boys played for Seacoast United and each of them have the distinct honor of being captains at their respective colleges.

Joe Masi was captain at Stonehill College, Michael Masi at Bates College, and Eric Masi at the University of New Hampshire. Their ability, leadership, sportsmanship, and competitive edge on and off the field is a credit to how they were brought up by their parents and a wonderful tribute to Bob’s devotion to his life as a father, player, and coach.
