Fairfield Lacrosse Advantage IN THE CENTER OF IT ALL Nestled in the southwest corner of Connecticut Fairfield University offers all you’d expect from a great university - distinguished faculty, state-of-the- art facilities, outstanding student services, and a beautiful campus environment. Fairfield offers the best of both worlds - a beautiful suburban setting sit- uated a short trip from some of the most dynamic corporate environments on the East Coast. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT An important tenet of a Fairfield University education is the importance of giving to others, whether it be locally or globally. The men’s lacrosse team is active in numer- ous service initatives, from spreading the sport of lacrosse in Bridgeport, to reading to elementary age stu- dents. The Stags are also involved with Friends of Jaclyn and have adopted Ryan Tucker. The eight-year old Tucker has his own locker in the Stags newly renovated lockerroom in the Walsh Athletic Center, joined the pro- 2 gram for the 2009-10 academic year. Ryan can often be found on the Stags sideline, in his Fairfield #1 jersey, cheering the Stags to victory. SUCCEEDING IN THE CLASSROOM Third-year head coach Andy Copelan believes that success in the classroom supercedes all levels of athletic success and it shows. In the 2010 Fall semester the men’s lacrosse team had 26 student-athletes named to the Department of Athletics 3.0 Club, the most of any of the University’s 20 Division I athletic teams.

In addition, three players have been drafted by 2003 All-Patriot League Major League Lacrosse, including Joseph Marra who, in 2010, became just the second player in program history to be taken in the collegiate draft. Copelan’s success as a recruiter has followed him to Fairfield, where the Stags 2010 class was ranked 20th in the nation by InsideLacrosse. In each of the last two seasons a Stag recruit has been recognized by the premier lacrosse information pub- lication, with Marshall Johnson ranking in the top-100 and Gary Davies earning a top-40 spot among defensemen. The 2010 Stags went 8-6 overall, including the win over nation- al runner-up Notre Dame. That victory jumpstarted a five-game win streak, which included ECAC wins over Ohio State, Hobart and Bellarmine. Those three victories pushed the Stags to their second consecutive third-place league finish under Copelan. Copelan also led the Stags in their first-ever nationally televised game, taking on ECAC foe Denver at Rentschler Field on ESPNU. In his first season at the helm of the Stags, Copelan led the squad to a 7-6 record, a three-game improvement over the pre- vious year, and the team's first winning season since 2005. In addition, Fairfield had its best season in ECAC Lacrosse League play with a third place finish on the strength of a 4-3 record.

    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.
