Derrek FalorDerrek Falor, Head Womens Coach of Cleveland State University, will be a guest speaker at the 2009 girls showcase event.

Entering his fifth season and sixth year as head coach of the Viking women's soccer program, Derrek Falor believes that CSU has turned the corner and is prepared to make a big jump this season. That excitement is predicated on a 2007 campaign that saw the Vikings set a school record for wins with a 5-14-1 mark. CSU also set program firsts by finishing out of the cellar in the Horizon League and by winning a match in the league championship.

Falor is excited that CSU is finally showing the fruits of his labor over the last four years, especially after seeing a significant advancement in 2007 after making only gradually improvements during his first three seasons. He doesn't mince any words when talking about goals for 2008. "This program has advanced to the point where we just can't accept another small improvement on the field this year," he said. "Not with this group and not with the type of talent that we have. "I will be disappointed if we don't finish at .500 or better and jump up into the middle of the Horizon League standings.
