Jen Fallon

Head Coach
Third Season
Record at UNH: 21-13
Sacred Heart, 1996

Jen Fallon enters her third season as the head coach of the women's lacrosse team at the University of New Haven in the spring of 2009. Fallon guided the Chargers to a 14-3 record in 2008 and was named both the Inside Lacrosse Division II Coach of the Year and the East Coast Conference Coach of the Year in just her second season.

Fallon was an All-American lacrosse player and soccer star for Sacred Heart University from 1992-96, and went on to become the Pioneers' head women's soccer coach from 1997-2000. Fallon also served as the school's assistant compliance coordinator for two years while coaching.

Most recently, Fallon was the head girl's lacrosse coach and physical education teacher at Greens Farms Academy in Westport, Conn., with additional duties in the areas of policy & curriculum and athletic game management.

"Jen brings a wealth of high-level lacrosse experience to New Haven," said UNH Athletic Director Deborah Chin at the time of Fallon's appointment. "She earned All-America honors at the Division II level and knows what it takes to succeed on and off the field. We are excited that Coach Fallon is joining the Charger family."

As a collegiate lacrosse player, Fallon was a three-time Division II All-America selection (1994-96) and is Sacred Heart's all-time scoring leader with 264 career points. She scored 212 career goals with 52 assists, and in her All-American seasons posted three of the school's top four single-season point totals. She is 20th on the D-II national career scoring list, and is ninth all-time in goals scored.

"I'm excited for the opportunity to be a part of this program and the University of New Haven," Fallon said. "I look forward to continuing the progress that this team has already made. One of my goals is to keep the UNH women's lacrosse program moving toward being one of the top ten teams in Division II."

A native of Milford, Conn., Fallon earned her bachelor's degree in psychology from Sacred Heart in 1996. She is a member of the U.S. Lacrosse Association, the CGSCA and NSCAA, and is CPR and AED certified. She resides in Fairfield, Conn.
