Malott resigns at Northridge

MIDDLEBURY — Northridge High School announced on Monday night that girls soccer coach Chris Malott will be stepping down from his position. The decision was made by Malott, who wishes to allocate more time towards his expanding family. Throughout his eight-year tenure as the program's coach, he amassed an impressive record of 85-41-19.

The team secured sectional titles under Malott's guidance in 2023 and 2025. He was recognized as the NLC Coach of the Year a total of five times. This season, Northridge finished the year with an overall record of 13-5-1, culminating in a 2-1 defeat to Goshen in a Class 3A sectional championship game.

In expressing his gratitude, Malott stated, "I want to thank all of the athletes and coaches that I have had the joy of coaching and coaching with during my time here at Northridge. The parents and players have made my time here very memorable." He further explained, "I feel this is the right time to step away and enjoy time with my family, kids and grandkids.

They have sacrificed a lot during my years of coaching." The search for Northridge High School's new girls soccer coach will commence immediately. Those interested in applying should reach out to Northridge High School Athletic Director Ryan Bales at balesr@mcsin-k12.org or call (574) 825-7667.
