Head coach Troy Fabiano is in his 12th season of overseeing the women’s soccer program at UW-Parkside. In 2003, 2004 and 2008, Fabiano was selected as the Great Lakes Valley Conference Coach of the Year, an award richly deserved after guiding his team to conference championships and NCAA tournament bids in each of those seasons. In 2004, the team won its first NCAA post-season game and in 2008, the Ranger women’s soccer team won its initial regional championship.
In the last seven seasons, Fabiano's team has posted a stellar 111-27-3 record which translates to an outstanding .795 winning percentage.
The Ranger mentor produced UWP’s first All-American in women’s soccer five seasons ago in defender Stafanie Strauss and followed up with another All-American selection, Lisa Gorski, four seasons ago. In 2008, the All-Americans doubled with awards bestowed upon Meredith Novak and Lauki’i Cheng.
In 2008, the Rangers posted an undefeated regular season, the first in school history. The team went on to log an 18-1-1 record, which is its best ever. In that landmark season, UW-Parkside scored all four of the GLVC’s major individual awards including Coach of the Year; Offensive Player of the Year (Novak); Defensive Player of the Year (Cheng) and Newcomer of the Year (Shannon Becker). The 2008 club finished with a national ranking of No. 6 in the land.
Fabiano’s only losing season was his first when he inherited a depleted squad of just 13 players. Once he was able to get his own recruiting classes in, the Rangers have enjoyed ten consecutive winning seasons and have established themselves on the national women's soccer map.
The Ranger mentor began his coaching career as a men’s assistant at his alma matter, Robert Morris. Fabiano then went on to become the interim head men’s coach at NCAA Division I Eastern Illinois, before returning to his hometown of Kenosha to take the assistant position with the women’s program in 1996. After a one season, Fabiano advanced to head coach. He led the Rangers to the GLVC’s Final Four in 2000 and to the league championship game in 2001 prior to winning it all for the first time in 2003.
Fabiano’s players are successful off the field as well with a team grade point average of over 3.0. Nine players earned a spot on the GLVC’s all-academic team.
The coach had a superlative playing career before going on to be a highly successful coach.
Fabiano played locally at Kenosha Bradford High School. He earned a scholarship to play soccer at Robert Morris College, an NCAA Division I school in Moon Township, Pennsylvania.
While at Robert Morris, Fabiano was member of the All-Northeast Conference first team all four years. He was the Northeast Conference Player of the Year and was 9th in the nation in scoring in his senior season.
Fabiano’s sparkling soccer skills were employed in the professional ranks after his term at Robert Morris. He played two seasons with the Pittsburgh Stingers of the CISL; one season with perennial power Milwaukee Wave of the NPSL; and one season with the Milwaukee Rampage of the USISL.
Fabiano currently holds United States Soccer Federation "A" License and an Advanced National Diploma from NSCAA. |
