Women's Basketball

Laura Scinto begins her second season as a member of the Fairfield University women's basketball coaching staff.  In addition to serving as the Stags recruiting coordinator, Scinto is involved with player development of post and perimeter players and assists with developing practice and game plans.

Scinto has been alongside head coach Joe Frager for 12 years, including the entire nine-year stint at Southern Connecticut State University.  During her time with the Owls, Scinto played an integral part in the 2007 National Title, as well as the team's four NCAA Tournament appearances.

For the two years prior to making the move with Frager to SCSU, Scinto was his assistant at Seymour High School.  In that capacity she helped lead the Wildcats to back-to-back state titles and played a role in the 52 game winning streak. She also spent time coaching at Shelton High School along with other local AAU programs.

Scinto earned a B.S. in Business Administration from Bryant College, where she was a member of the women's basketball team.  She led the squad to three NCAA Tournament appearances, while scoring over 1,000 points, and earning academic all-conference honors.  Scinto went on to earn A.S. and R.N. degrees from St. Vincent's College of Nursing.

A native of Shelton, Conn., Scinto currently resides in Ansonia, Conn.
