The Fairfield University athletic community will induct five former student-athletes into the Athletic Hall of Fame on May 11 at The Patterson Club in Fairfield. Kate Abromovitch ’93 (Women’s Basketball), Dani Brown ’03 (Field Hockey), Doug Ciacci ‘65 (Men’s Rugby), Page Driscoll Syron ’98 (Women’s Basketball), and Kelly Steele Aldrich ’05 (Women’s Swimming) will comprise the Class of 2015, the 33rd Hall of Fame induction class
Kate Abromovitch finished her career as one of the program’s top scorers and still remains among the top 20 in scoring with 1,494 points. She emerged as one of the program’s first three-point scoring threats, netting 159 three pointers in 114 career games. Over her last three years with Stags, she averaged 1.6 three-point field goals per game. Abromovitch was an excellent passer as well, dishing off 212 assists during her career. She capped her four-year stat by earning All-Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) first team honors as a senior.
Page Driscoll Syron averaged 11.0 points per game over career which resulted in over 1,100 career points. She currently ranks 16th all-time in career scoring average and 19th all-time in career scoring. The forward earned the MAAC Tournament Most Valuable Player award after helping the Stags collect the 1998 conference title and bid to the NCAA tournament. Driscoll Syron earned All-MAAC First Team accolades and was a member of the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association (MBWA) team in her senior season and All-MAAC second team honors as a junior.

I was surprised to see Doug Ciacci among the inductees since people from that era are usually relegated to oblivion with the passage of time. I did not know Doug, but he died in 1965 in a motorcycle accident.
