Women's Basketball

The Friends of Women’s Basketball Gift Fund helps provide the needed operational funds to cover expenses associated with operating a Championship Division I program. Under 2023-24 Kay Yow National Coach of the Year Carly Thibault-DuDonis, the Stags posted a historic 31-2 record in 2023-24. Fairfield went 20-0 in MAAC regular season play, earned their first ever AP Top 25 ranking, and claimed both the MAAC Regular Season and Tournament titles. In 2024-25, Fairfield defended their crown, winning the MAAC Tournament for the second straight year to secure another NCAA Tournament bid with a commanding 76-53 victory over Quinnipiac. The team plays in the Leo D. Mahoney Arena, a state-of-the-art, donor-funded facility that has become one of the premier mid-major arenas in the country.

Your generosity fuels the ability to recruit top-tier talent and cover expenses that include team travel (buses, flights, hotels and meals), equipment, meals/nutrition and costs for software and other tools that allow for our players to develop.

Thank you for your support of Fairfield Women’s Basketball! We look forward to defending the MAAC Title in 2026 and aim for deeper tournament runs with your participation!
