Jen Fallon

Head Coach
Second Season
Record at UNH: 7-10
Sacred Heart, 1996

Jen Fallon will enter her second season as the head coach of the women's lacrosse team at the University of New Haven in the spring of 2008. Fallon will look to improve upon the 7-10 record from her first season in 2007.

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 has been 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. “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 tied for 14th on the D-II national career scoring list, and is seventh all-time in goals scored.

In soccer, Fallon was a four-time All-New England and All-Northeast selection, adding three All-Conference awards. She is still the school’s all-time single-season and career scoring leader.

“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.
