Fourman\u2019s tutelage helped lead the Seahawks to their best team finish since 2006, as the Green &amp; White placed fifth, missing out on fourth place by just two strokes and third place by just seven. \u201cIt was definitely a testament to how hard our girls worked this year,\u201d Fourman added. \u201cWe finished 10<sup>th<\/sup> last year, so for them to jump up that much was a real statement.

The last Seahawk be named a conference coach of the year was former water polo coach Patrick Beemer who earned MAAC Coach of the Year honors in 2010. \u201cIt\u2019s a real compliment from my peers in the conference, who are also extremely successful in their own programs, for them to name me Coach of the Year,\u201d Fourman said. \u201cThere are a lot of great teams in this conference, with a lot of great coaches and student-athletes.\u201d Fourman, a 2008 graduate of Wagner, was promoted to the head coach position of the Seahawks men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams in the winter after working as an assistant during the 2009-2010 season.
