Women’s Swimming & Diving Wins 2023 MAAC Championship

The 2023 MAAC Champions

Erini Pappas ’25 was named Most Outstanding Swimmer; Jacy Dyer was selected Coach of the Year.

Fairfield University women’s swimming and diving team claimed the 2023 MAAC Championship, beating the field over four days in Buffalo, N.Y., to capture its fourth title in the last seasons. Erini Pappas ’25 was named Most Outstanding Swimmer, and Head Coach Jacy Dyer was selected Coach of the Year by her peers.

Pappas won gold medals in the 200y backstroke, 200y individual medley, and the 400y individual medley – three of the Stags’ seven individual victories on the weekend. Erin Hoyland ’25 earned gold in the 500y freestyle and 1650y freestyle, Sydney Scalise ’25 won the 200y freestyle, and Alison Sposili ’25 won the 200y breaststroke.

The Stags also claimed first place in the 800y freestyle, which was earned by the quartet of Pappas, Scalise, Serafina Viola ’24 and Hoyland.

Dyer is in her first season as the Stags’ head coach after most recently serving as associate head coach at Virginia Tech.

Fairfield narrowly edged defending champion Niagara, 609-605, to win the MAAC Championship. The Stags also won three straight conference titles from 2018-20.
