CJ Werneke, who spent the last three years at Binghamton as associate head coach, has been named Lafayette volleyball head coach.
With the Bearcats, he was part of a historic run, improving from 7-17 in 2021 to 17-7 in 2022. Binghamton captured its first America East regular-season title. The Bearcats notched 51 wins since his arrival (averaging 17 per season).
Werneke’s longest stint as a head coach came at Rutgers (2008-19). After a 2-22 start in 2008, Werneke improved to double-digit wins in 2009, 2010, and 2011 before an 18-12 campaign in 2012. Before Rutgers, Werneke spent six years (2002-08) as head coach at Fairfield, where he reached the 100-win plateau in 2007 and led the Stags to four consecutive regular-season titles.
