NCR and Rugbee.co are pleased to announce Sal Carfagno as March’s Coach of the Month. Carfagno is the Head Coach of Loyola University Chicago, the same team he played on for four years as an undergrad. Carfagno is a current graduate student at Loyola, working towards his master’s degree in Health Care Administration.
Carfagno’s inaugural season as the head coach was this fall. He coached his team to a Loyola Chicago historic top four finish in the Division II National Playoffs and a Midwest Championship.
The players of Loyola University Chicago speak very highly of their coach, acknowledging the time he puts into their team even with his busy schedule.
“Sal stepped up as a graduate student to coach the team and led them on a season beyond any expectations. Devoting a lot of time and energy working at U Chicago’s Hospital and taking a full graduate student course load, getting the team to its first ever final 4 in his first season.”
