Brendan Faherty (Guilford, Conn.) is no longer serving as head coach of the Yale women's soccer team, the school announced Wednesday, following allegations of sexual misconduct and impropriety at a prior position.
A story in The Yale Daily News, the school's student-run newspaper, outlines several cases of lewd behavior from when Faherty was the head women's soccer coach at the University of New Haven from 2003-09.
Faherty was hired in mid-December 2018, shortly after another scandal enveloped Yale, as former head coach Rudy Meredith resigned following last season. In the ensuing months, it surfaced that Meredith was a central figure in the nationwide bribery and college admissions scandal which has since been called Varsity Blues.
