Fales, who posts a 50-38-8 overall record and 31-20-6 conference record while at Aquinas, led the Saints to a fourth place conference finish in 2004 and a third place finish in 2005 and 2006. The Saints won the WHAC championship in 2007 and followed up with a third place finish last season. Fales vast knowledge of the game and his wide array of coaching experience has allowed him to start the upward climb to bring the Saints back into championship contention.

Before his appointment as Head Women’s Soccer Coach at Aquinas College, Fales  most recently served as the Head Women's and Men's Soccer Coach at Lansing Catholic Central High School. Upon accepting the position in 1989 at Lansing Catholic Central, Fales was able to rebuild both programs into annually one of the top 10 teams in the state. Fales' accomplishments at Lansing Catholic also include a selection as the 1999 Coach of the year as voted on by area soccer coaches.

Season Preview:

The 09 team has the potential to be one our best teams, we still have some chemistry issues to iron out but if we can stay healthy and get through a very tough early part of our schedule we will do fine. We are going to miss Rebecca Underwood this season as she recovers from ACL surgery but other than that all of our returnees are healthy; so we should be a solid group.
