The Stags have captured two MAAC Championships that were broadcast on ESPNU, winning the 2005 Women's Soccer Championship at the Disney Wide World of Sports Complex and the 2006 Men's Soccer Championship on Lessing Field.

Fairfield will also host the 2008 MAAC Softball Championship in May.

The Fairfield volleyball team went 24-8 overall and 18-0 in conference play during the 2006 campaign, capturing its third-straight MAAC Regular Season title. The Stags, whose 24 wins are the fifth most in program history, also posted a 20-match winning streak and their third-straight winning season. Fairfield lost just two student-athletes from the 2006 squad and will return nine Stags, including the 2006 MAAC Offensive Player of the Year and the MAAC Setter of the Year.

Fairfield, whose 2007 schedule features seven NCAA Tournament participants, opens the season at the San Diego State Tournament, August 24-25.
