Bowling Green Welcomes Back Erin Fahey As Head Women's Golf Coach
January 12, 2022 | Women's Golf
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – Bowling Green State University has named Erin Fahey as head women's golf coach, as announced by BGSU director of athletics and recreation Bob Moosbrugger. Fahey becomes the 11th head coach in program history.
Fahey will return to the Falcons after serving as an assistant coach at Colorado State this past fall season. Fahey was a three-time captain for Bowling Green before serving as the team's assistant coach from Fall 2019 until Spring 2021. Fahey will replace Stephanie Young at the helm of the Falcons. Young served as the head coach of the women's golf team at BGSU for 17 years, taking the position during the Spring of 2006. Coach Young accepted a position at the University of Idaho.
"We are thrilled to bring Erin Fahey back home to BGSU," said Moosbrugger. "From her record-setting playing days to her work as an assistant coach, you could see a rising star in Erin. I am thankful for President Rodney Rogers, Senior Associate AD Jim Elsasser and our colleagues in human resources as we navigated this search in a timely fashion with the start of the semester this week and first competition in less than a month. I look forward to seeing the golf team working with Coach Fahey once again!"
Over her time playing for the Falcons, Fahey worked to rewrite the BGSU record books. Fahey currently holds the record for career stroke average (76.49) as well as the best single-season stroke average (75.48) in program history. She also set the freshman record for stroke average during the 2015-16 season with a mark of 77.17. With Fahey leading the way, the Falcons won six team tournament titles, including the 2017 KZoo Classic where Fahey placed first individually.
Fahey played an instrumental role off the course during her time as a Falcon, being named the 2019 Mid-American Conference Sportswoman of the Year. She was named a three-time Academic All-MAC selection and a four-time WGCA Academic All-American Scholar.
"I'd like to thank Bob Moosbrugger and Jim Elsasser for this opportunity," said Fahey. "I am thrilled to be returning to Bowling Green to lead the women's golf program. As a former student-athlete, I understand the rich history of success here at BGSU and am looking forward to continuing that tradition."
With Fahey's guidance as an assistant coach, the Falcons saw a total of 12 WGCA All-American Scholars across the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons. BGSU also ranked third in the country for community service hours during the 2019-20 campaign. On the course, the Orange and Brown recorded a 294 first round at the Dolores Black Invitational, the lowest round score for the event.
Fahey received her bachelor's degree from Bowling Green State University in 2019, majoring in economics. She also earned her MBA with a specialization in finance from BGSU in 2020.
