Sabra Wrice to be enshrined into Stag Athletics Hall of Fame.
Fairfield University will induct six new members into its Athletics Hall of Fame on Monday, May 2 at the historic Brooklawn Country Club. The class features Ben Andrews ’11 (men’s rowing), James Brown ’69 (men’s basketball), Michael Bocklet ’07 (men’s lacrosse), Amy Hanson Ostella ’97 (women’s tennis), Paul Sheehy ’85 (men’s rugby) and Sabra Wrice ’08 (women’s basketball).
Sabra Wrice
The seventh all-time leading scorer in Fairfield Women’s Basketball history, Sabra Wrice ’08 scored 1,577 points in her career with the Stags. She also ranks fourth all-time in steals (221) and ninth in points per game (13.3). Wrice holds the program’s single-game scoring record, coming off the bench to net 36 points against Siena on Feb. 19, 2007.
As a senior in 2008, Wrice became the 11th (and most recent) Stag to score 500 points in a single season, netting 501 tallies (16.2 points per game) to go along with 4.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists per outing. Fairfield finished that 22-9 campaign – the team’s best record in seven years – with a trip to the MAAC Championship Semifinals.
Wrice was an All-MAAC honoree in each of her four seasons with the Stags, garnering All-Rookie laurels in 2005, a Second Team selection in 2006 and back-to-back First Team All-MAAC honors to cap her career in 2007 and 2008. She was also a Second Team All-Met pick in her senior campaign as well as Fairfield’s Female Athlete of the Year.
After graduation, Wrice played professionally for the City of Sheffield Hatters in Sheffield, England. She returned to Fairfield as an assistant coach for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 campaigns before resuming her playing career in the United Kingdom.
The Hall of Fame ceremony is a part of the 2016 Fairfield Athletics Hall of Fame Golf Outing. Tickets for the 2016 Hall of Fame induction portion of the event are $150. Tickets include a cocktail reception beginning at 5:30 p.m. with dinner and the induction ceremony to follow.
