Head Coach Todd Kress has announced the eight student-athletes that will join Fairfield University Volleyball for the upcoming 2020 season. The crop of newcomers represents seven different states as well as the country of New Zealand.
"The 2020 recruiting class is unique in a number of ways. First, in size alone. With eight new faces joining our program, this class will not only challenge our fans to know the roster but will also serve as our foundation for continued success over the next four years," said Head Coach Todd Kress.
"It's also a unique class due to the Covid-19 pandemic," the seven-time MAAC Coach of the Year continued. "We were putting the finishing touches on this class during the middle of the pandemic, and I credit our incoming freshmen for sticking with us throughout the process and not skipping a beat. To be honest, I've never been more fired up for an incoming class. We addressed some critical needs of our roster with this class but also continued our tradition of signing student-athletes of the highest integrity. I'm confident that everyone on campus and the Fairfield community will enjoy watching this group grow, compete and enhance the culture of our championship program."
The group of eight newcomers will join 12 returning student-athletes from the 2019 MAAC Championship team. The Stags went 24-6 overall and 17-1 in the MAAC last fall, wrapping up the campaign at #7 Minnesota – an eventual Final Four team – in the NCAA Championship First Round.
