Men's Lacrosse Adds Fossner to Coaching Staff
August 31, 2015 | Men's Lacrosse
BOSTON – Noah Fossner has joined the Boston University men’s lacrosse staff as a volunteer assistant coach, head coach Ryan Polley announced on Monday.
Fossner comes to Boston after spending the past two seasons as the defensive coordinator at his alma mater, Delaware. Fossner developed a top-20 defense during the 2014 season. He also coached the goaltenders, including Brett Anton, who led the Colonial Athletic Association with a .620 save percentage last season. Delaware boasted two All-CAA players and a CAA All-Rookie Team selection that were mentored by Fossner. Additionally, Fossner helped with recruiting and many of the day-to-day operations.
“We’re excited to welcome someone of Noah’s experience and goalie expertise to our program,” Polley said. “I think our goalies will benefit greatly from Noah working specifically with them.”
Prior to his time at Delaware, Fossner was a volunteer assistant at Rutgers for two seasons, where he specialized in goalie instruction and also worked with faceoff specialist Joe Nardella, who finished the 2013 campaign fifth in the nation in faceoff percentage (.622).
A native of Niskayuna, New York, Fossner was a three-year starter at Delaware and graduated in 2011 as one of the top goalkeepers in Blue Hen history. He captained the squad for three seasons, and finished second in the country in saves (184) in 2009. Delaware appeared in two NCAA Tournaments with Fossner between the pipes, and Fossner was also the 2011 USILA North-South All-Star Game MVP.
