Head Coach Laura Field Second Season • Princeton ’00
Laura Field assumed the role of head coach of the Fairfield women’s lacrosse team following the 2015 season. The upcoming spring will be her ninth overall campaign with the Stags. Field’s seven year tenure as Associate Head Coach from 2008-15 has included the most successful stretch in program history. The span is highlighted by Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships and NCAA postseason berths in 2009 and 2015. Her stay has also coincided with the program’s two winningest seasons, a program-record 17-game overall winning streak and a stretch of 30 consecutive regular season victories over MAAC foes. Field came to Fairfield after an eight-year stint with the Yale University women’s lacrosse program, including an 11-5 season as interim head coach in 2008 that saw the Bulldogs finish at No. 17 in the national poll. All told, Field helped guide Yale to a final top-20 national ranking six times, including a No. 7 ranking following the 2003 season. That year, Yale posted a 13-3 mark and captured the Ivy League title en route to the NCAA Championship Quarterfinals. NCAA Tournament experience is nothing new to Field, who earned four varsity letters as a member of the Princeton University lacrosse program. As the starting goalkeeper for the Tigers, Field led the squad to the 2000 NCAA Championship Game to cap a run of three straight postseason bids. She was a First Team All-Ivy honoree in 1997. A native of Mystic, Conn., Field currently resides in New Haven.

Conway Field at Rafferty Stadium Opened in February of 2015 and dedicated on March 21, 2015, Rafferty Stadium is a 3,500-seat venue located on campus at the same site as its predecessor, Alumni Field. The facility features a Daktronics HD video board, state-of-the-art sound and lights and a FieldTurf playing surface, all made possible through the generosity of Fairfield alumni, parents and friends. The stadium is named in recognition of the principal leadership gift from Larry Rafferty ’64 and his family, and the field itself is named Conway Field in acknowledgment of a gift from Tim Conway ’76 and his family. Rafferty Stadium also includes a terrace level with a fully-enclosed press box that features a large media suite, two VIP suites and a production suite to support the video capabilities of the scoreboard, television broadcasts and web streaming. Action from Rafferty Stadium has been televised live on SportsNet New York (SNY), the American Sports Network and CBS Sports Network in addition to online broadcasts via ESPN3 and FairfieldStags.TV. On the ground level are two team rooms, food, beverage and apparel concessions, restrooms, a box office and entry plaza. On March 12, 2016, Rafferty Stadium hosted its largest Fairfield Lacrosse crowd to date as 2,456 fans packed the house to watch the Stags’ men’s lacrosse team challenge in-state rival Yale. In addition to Fairfield men’s and women’s lacrosse, Rafferty Stadium is home to Fairfield Prep football, soccer and lacrosse and several of the University’s intramural and club sports programs. It has also hosted Fairfield men’s and women’s soccer matches and housed the Alumni and Family Weekend concert on Oct. 24, 2015 featuring The Temptations Review Featuring Dennis Edwards and Matt & Kim. Conway Field at Rafferty Stadium hosted a Major League Lacrosse Semi-Final on August 13, 2016, marking the first professional sporting event held at the venue. The game saw the Denver Outlaws knock off the New York Lizards, 20-17
