Nicholas Wajnowski is entering his fifth year as both the head coach of the women’s soccer team as well as an Assistant Athletic Director and Compliance Coordinator at Albertus Magnus College.

Wajnowski led his team to a 10-8-1 overall mark in 2010, tying a program record in wins, which Wajnowski and his 2007 squad registered in his first season as the Falcons’ head coach.

Last season, Wajnowski’s team battled to a 7-4-1 record in Great Northeast Athletic Conference action, earning a berth into postseason play. Despite a loss to Norwich in the GNAC quarterfinals as a No. 5 seed, the women’s soccer program had four student-athletes earn conference accolades.

Sarah Boudreau led the way by making First Team All-Conference as she registered three goals and one assist in seven shutouts as she headlined the Falcons in the backfield, starting 16 contests. Danielle Figueroa was tagged with Third Team honors as she led the team in goals (12), shots (64) and points (25). In the conference, Figueroa was ranked seventh in goals, ninth in points and fifth with three game-winning goals.

Samantha Farley and Christina Dineson also earned Third Team honors as Dineson held a 1.41 goals allowed average in 13 games played. She also recorded 56 saves and three shutouts.

Wajnowski, a 2005 graduate of Albertus Magnus College, is the longest tenured head coach for the Falcons’ women’s soccer team, a program that began in 2004. As a player at Albertus Magnus, he was a four-year starter under Hall of Fame Coach George Bedocs and received All-Conference and All-Tournament recognition in the GNAC throughout his playing years.

Wajnowski has proven to be a tenacious recruiter and has manufactured one of the strongest teams yet for the upcoming 2011 campaign.
