    FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS ANNUAL REPORT 2008-09 5 ATHLETICS ANNUAL REPORT 2008-09 1 Message from the Director of Athletics ver the last year or so, I have been doing some major renovations to my home. During that time, I have become quite Oadept at measuring things to make sure all the dimensions are accurate so that all the pieces fit properly in place. Because of this, I can wield a ruler, a yard stick, and a tape measure with great dexterity these days, which has helped to make things move along on schedule. While the daily changes are most times not noticeable, the “before and after” photos are dramatic. And, there are those interim stages where change becomes apparent. Like home improvement projects, college athletics can also be measured when it comes to success. Some years, the measurements of improvement are not noticeable because injuries, inexperience, or coaching changes can mask a team’s growth. But that “before and after” view can be dramatic because talent and experience come Director of Athletics Gene Doris presents Ahna together to create a championship season. Johnson ’09 with her MAAC Tournament MVP award. This year, I took that “after” photo which showed that Fairfield’s athletic success was boundless. Four teams won their respective Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) championship and advanced to the NCAA tournament in 2008-09, while several other teams garnered success by winning a regular- season conference championship. All these championships led Fairfield University to the coveted MAAC overall Commissioner’s Cup championship, which is given to the conference school with the best overall athletic success in a given year.

    HHolyoly CCrossross BBaseballaseball 22006006 AABOUTBOUT HHOLYOLY CCROSSROSS Holy Cross is renowned for its academic excellence and mentoring-based, liberal arts education in the Jesuit tradition. An exclusively undergraduate institution with just over 2,700 students, Holy Cross is the oldest Catholic college in New England. Founded in 1843 in Worcester, Massachusetts, the campus occupies 174 beautifully landscaped acres, featuring traditional and contemporary architecture, state-of-the-art facilities, and striking views from atop Mount St. James. Academic life at Holy Cross is serious, challenging, and ex- citing. Student-professor exchanges in the classroom, as well as in countless informal settings, are at the center of academic life at Holy Cross. With a student-faculty ratio of 11:1, the opportunity for individual attention is readily available. Few classes exceed an enrollment of 40, and most average 19. Holy Cross professors are widely respected in their academic specialties. Many have national reputations for their research and publications, creative performances, recordings, and exhibitions. Almost all of the nearly 280 full- and part-time faculty members hold doctoral degrees from some of the fi nest universities here and abroad. Among the major academic facilities on campus are Dinand Library (which, along with three other specialized libraries on campus, has total holdings of 601,730 volumes); Iris and B. Ger- ald Cantor Art Gallery (with a regular schedule of world-class exhibitions); Brooks Concert Hall (acclaimed by performers and acoustical experts as one of the fi nest medium-sized performance spaces in the region); St. Joseph Memorial Chapel (built in 1924 and containing the recently renovated McCooey Chapel on the lower level); Hogan Campus Center (with bookstore, post offi ce, coffee lounge, cafeteria, and pub); Carol and Park B.

    2021 Baseball Letter from the Athletic Director Dear Friends of UConn Avery Point Baseball: I offer my sincerest greetings as the 2021 season kicks off for our baseball program at the University of Connecticut Avery Point. Pointers There certainly have been a lot of changes in the world since the team took the field to start the 2020 season. Pointers However, we are excited to see our Pointers back out on the field for action this spring on the heels of a 2020 campaign that was cut short after just five games due to the pandemic. With a mix of student-athletes in their first, second or third academic years here at Avery Point, I believe that we’re looking ahead towards a strong season. Coach Ratchford and his staff have assembled a fine group of student-athletes that has already achieved great things academically in the last 12 months. Last year’s team posted a 3.3 combined GPA in the spring, 2020 semester and closed the year by earning NJCAA All-Academic Team Honors. This year’s squad followed that up by notching a 3.28 team GPA in the fall semester. Despite some changes to participating teams in the region and across New England, we have assembled another competitive schedule here in 2021. Thank you for your continued support of UConn Avery Point athletics. Go Pointers!
