The Fairfield University men's and women's golf teams had a total of five student-athletes named to the 2006 MAAC All-Academic Team, announced by the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) in conjunction with the conference championship.
The women's team equaled Siena with the greatest number of selections to the team, with four. Senior Lindsey Ryan (Berlin, Conn.) is a marketing major who earned her third All-MAAC Academic Team selection. Three juniors also earned the honor, each for a second time. Catherine Alessi, a nursing major, Amy Bordonaro (Berlin, Conn.), a marketing major and Liz McCabe (Wellesley, Mass.) an International Studies major, were all recognized by the MAAC.
On the men's side senior Jonathan Vanelli (Medford, N.J.) earned the accolade for a third time. He is a finance major.
To be eligible for the MAAC All-Academic Team, a student-athlete must complete two semesters at their institution, be a significant starter or reserve and hold a cumulative grade-point-average of 3.20 on a 4.0 scale.
