Laura Scinto begins her first season as a member of the
Fairfield University women’s basketball coaching staff.
In her role as assistant coach, Scinto will be responsible for the
development of the Stags perimeter players, scheduling, assist with
developing practice and game plans, as well as day-to-day

spent time coaching at Shelton High School along with other local
AAU programs.
Scinto earned a B.S. in Business Administration from Bryant
