Head Coach Julie Brzezinski and five former Fairfield University student-athletes were named to the MAAC 40th Anniversary Softball Team. Brzezinski was one of three coaches selected to the team and joined Lauren Liseth (2011-14), Destinee Pallotto (2015-18), Mellissa Santos (2000-03), Ellen Sarosy (2000-03), and Kim Zagajeski (1988-91). The MAAC celebrates its 40th Anniversary throughout the 2020-21 academic year, continuing its mission to provide student-athletes the opportunity to succeed in both academics and athletics.
Brzezinski finished her 23rd season as the Stags' head softball coach and has captured two MAAC tournament championships and seven MAAC regular-season titles. She was named the MAAC Coach of the Year twice (2012 and 2004) and was a co-recipient once (2002). Brzezinski has posted 851 wins in her 31 seasons as a head coach and 606 victories as the Stags' head coach. She entered the 2020 season ranked 25th in career wins among active coaches in Division I.
