Joey Mastrosimone is in his first year of coaching after spending the past 2 seasons as a starter on the Cougar defensive front. Mastrosimone assists Jack Coppes with Azusa Pacific's defensive line.

During his Cougar playing career, Mastrosimone played in all 18 games of the 2001 and 2002 seasons, starting 11 at nose guard, including the final 5 of his senior campaign. He tallied 68 tackles in his career, including 13 for loss. His finest game came at Cal Lutheran last year when he tallied a game- and career-high 9 tackles, including 2 for loss. In Azusa Pacific's 48-7 victory at Chapman, he returned a fumble 15 yards for his first-ever collegiate TD.
