Fairfield University 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. And, the Stags won the MAAC Women’s Commissioner’s Cup as well. Equally important, we had more than 200 student-athletes earn a 3.0 or higher GPA during the fall and spring semesters. As many as eight student-athletes achieved a 4.0 GPA and nearly 90 more were placed on the dean’s list over the course of 2008-09. Ahna Johnson, a senior on the women’s soccer team, received the St. Ignatius Loyola Medal, one of the top honors bestowed to a student by the Fairfield University Alumni Association. Our athletic success was not an accident, but rather the result of many people coming together for a common goal. Our administration served as the architects of the project, and working with our coaches as the contractors, properly planned the steps necessary to reach the final goal. Our student-athletes took those blueprints and executed them to perfection, resulting in wins and championships on the field of play, as well as success in the classroom and the community. But there were many others who contributed to that “after” photo of our success. Faculty, alumni, parents, and friends of our athletics program each played their role in the Stags success. With their help and support, we have been able to celebrate a great deal of success this year. As you peruse this publication of “after” photos, I am sure you will find many interesting stories that reflect this wonderful year in athletics. Like any successful construction project, the goal is keeping it looking new and consistently upgrading it when needed. I hope you will help us sustain this year’s success into the years ahead through your financial and emotional support. With your assistance, Fairfield University athletics will prosper in 2009-10 as we strive for excellence. I look forward to seeing you at many of our contests next year. I’ll be the one with the tape measure clipped to my belt. Eugene P.

    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.
