Women's Lacrosse

Beth Loffredo, who served her alma mater as an assistant coach last season, was named the interim head women's lacrosse coach by Director of Athletics Eugene P. Doris.

Loffredo enjoyed a successful four-year career with the Stags, starting each of the 55 games she played in that time. She finished her career as the Stags all-time leader with 180 points. Her 140 career goals also ranks tops all-time in program history, while her 40 assists is the sixth highest career total. She is a three-time All-MAAC First Team selection, earning the honor in each season she played a complete year. Loffredo was also named the Fairfield Rookie and Female Athlete of the Year.

Loffredo made an immediate impact, earning MAAC Rookie of the Year accolades, scoring 47 goals and dishing out seven assists in 2003. The following season she notched 48 points, with 35 goals, and earned MAAC Offensive Player of the Year and First Team All-MAAC honors for the second time.

As a junior Loffredo was off to another hot start, with 20 points in five games, before injuring her knee and missing the remainder of the campaign. She returned with a vengeance as a senior, leading the team with 58 points, including a career-high 17 assists, to go along with 41 goals. She earned IWLCA Second Team North Region All-America and All-MAAC First Team honors.

Loffredo, a native of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., earned a bachelor's degree in American Studies. She is currently pursuing a master's degree in education.
