Mike Faith was announced as the Head Coach for Women's Lacrosse at Stevenson on August 15, 2025.
Faith comes to Owings Mills with a long resume of success. Most recently, Faith led the Millersville University women’s lacrosse program to an 11-7 record and a spot in the PSAC tournament. He reached his 300th career win last season.
Faith holds an overall career record of 300-101 during his 21 seasons as head coach, a winning percentage of .748. That percentage is 16th among all active NCAA coaches across all three divisions.
“I’m very grateful for Interim AD Matt Grimm and the committee for this unbelievable opportunity,” said Faith. “Stevenson University has a history of great academics and high-level lacrosse. I’m so excited to get started and be a part of the Mustang Family.”
He made his mark at Franklin & Marshall College, sporting a 194-42 record on the way to winning five Centennial Conference Championships. The Diplomats earned a top 15 ranking each season, while appearing in the national semifinals four times (2015, 2016, 2023 and 2024) and the national quarterfinals five times.
Faith came to F&M from nearby Elizabethtown College where he led a renaissance of the Blue Jays taking them to the postseason in seven of eight seasons.
Under his leadership, the Blue Jays went to the Middle Atlantic Conference playoffs seven times, winning the Commonwealth Conference championship in 2012 and the then MAC championship in 2010.
A three-time Centennial Conference Coach of the Year, two-time Commonwealth Conference Coach of the Year, and three-time regional coach of the year, Faith is renowned for his ability to develop lacrosse players, producing six conference players of the year, eight conference defenders of the year, 40 IWLCA All-Americans, and 117 all-conference honorees.
Faith has served as a keynote speaker for the U.S. Lacrosse Convention. He was the national chair of the Division III All-America Committee for six years.
Before becoming a head coach, Faith was an assistant coach at the Division I level for the University of Maryland Baltimore County and the University of Richmond.
An outstanding collegiate lacrosse player himself, Faith graduated from Salisbury University with a degree in health fitness in 1998 after earning All-America First Team honors, serving as a team captain, and winning the team MVP award. He also led the nation in assists as a player at St. Andrew's College.
