In total, the inaugural schedule for new Head Coach Nancy Somera is comprised of 26 regular season matches. Somera joined the Stags in the spring of 2023, after most recently building a Division III powerhouse at Johnson & Wales and previously leading the programs at Oregon State and South Carolina in a coaching career that spans more than 30 years. "We are thrilled to make our debut in Mahoney Arena this season, starting with the reigning America East Champion UMBC and a high-major test in Northwestern," said Somera. "With opponents from the Big Ten and Pac 12, as well as six mid-majors who regularly compete for their respective conference titles, our non-conference schedule will challenge us in many ways and prepare us for the MAAC season."Admission is FREE for all fans to all regular season home matches at Mahoney Arena this fall. All MAAC roads lead back to Mahoney Arena this fall, as Fairfield is set to host the 2023 MAAC Championship on Nov. 17-19. The top six teams will advance to the postseason tournament, with the top two squads earning a bye to the semifinal round. Fairfield previously hosted the MAAC Championship at Alumni Hall in 1991, 2007, 2012, 2016, 2017 and 2019. 2023 Stag Volleyball Schedulefairfieldstags.com/sports/womens-volleyball/schedule/2023Stag VolleyballMAAC Regular Season Champions (21): 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021 (spring), 2021 (fall), 2022 MAAC Tournament Champions (12): 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021 NCAA Tournament Appearances (12): 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021

Coach Somera has added some height to her team via team recruiting. She has added two 6’-2” players and one 6’-3” player. She has a tough act to follow( Todd Kress) and no longer has all everything player KJ Johnson who graduated and all MAAC player Ella Gardiner who transferred out west closer to her California home. All home games and the MAAC VB tournament will be played in the beautiful Mahoney Arena. Go Stags!
