Editor-in-Chief
Decorated with red
and white balloons, the Barone
Campus Center had a sign dis-playing
"We're going to the
Dance." If you don't know
what the commotion is all about
by now, the women's basket-ball
team defeated the Loyola
Greyhounds 59-53 in the
MAAC Championship game on
Sunday at the Pepsi Arena in
Albany.
By winning the game,
the Fairfield women's basket-ball
team became MAAC
champions and earned an auto-matic
bid to the NCAA Tour-nament.
As soon as the Stag's
were victorious, the university
prepared for victory celebra-tions.
FUSA organized Mon-day
afternoon's pep rally as
well as the welcome reception
for the freshly crowned MAAC
champions' bus.
On Sunday evening,
an excited group of students
gathered to welcome the bus
carrying the women's basket-ball
team home from Albany.
Signs were hung throughout the
residence halls Sunday night to
inform the students of
Monday's pep rally.
"We are obviously
very proud ofthe women's team
and their major accomplish-ment,"
Chris Cipriano, FUSApresi-dent,
said. "They'll now be repre-senting
Fairfield before the nation
and I wish them the best of luck."
This past Monday at 1
p.m., Fairfield University congratu-lated
the team and their coaching
staff. As senior tri-captains Page
Grossarth and Driscoll car-ried

all year and especially thanked
those who traveled to Albany

our winning the MAAC
will only encourage more to
come out next year and cheer
us on," Driscoll, MAAC tour-nament
MVP, said. Gail
Strumpf made the All- Tourna-ment
Team.

turnout of the students who
came. The students were not
the only ones who were here
for the rally, there were mem-bers
of the town and the play-ers'
families as well. This is
for the players," Pitucco said.
"Winning thisMAAC
Championship was the perfect
way to end my career here at
Fairfield University. It was one
goal that was left
unaccomplished and with at-taining
it, I feel complete,"
Driscoll said.

team for their MAAC title and
