Fahey joins CUW Lacrosse Staff
Mequon, Wis. -
Michael Fahey was named the first graduate

lacrosse program in late August.
Fahey joins CUW after a
distinguished playing career. In high school, he was a first team
all-conference selection his senior year and was also the runner-up
goalie of the year in Western New York. After high school he
attended Onondaga Community College for two years and was a member
of the 2007 NJCAA Lacrosse National Championship team as well as
being named an Academic All-American.
Fahey then moved on to
Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, N.C., and graduated in 2011 with
a Bachelor's degree in physical education. While at LMC, Fahey was
one of the starting goalies, as well as being named academic

He will serve as the top

goaltenders. He also will be in charge of travel and play an
integral role in recruiting and fundraising efforts.
"I am very excited to join the staff and to coach at Concordia
University Wisconsin," Fahey said. "I want to thank head coach Jeff
Roberts for giving me the opportunity and Athletics Director Dr.
Rob Barnhill for welcoming me to the Falcon athletic family.
Working with a great program has always been a goal of mine. The
opportunity at Concordia University Wisconsin is a perfect
fit."
"I am thrilled with the hiring of Michael," Roberts said. "During
the process, it became evident that he was an advocate for positive
leadership and character building. That, combined with his superior
organizational skills and tireless work ethic, will make him a
valuable addition to the Falcon lacrosse family."
