In his sixth season as a Fairfield assistant coach, Brian Fay has helped guide the Stags to one of the most successful stretches in school history with three straight regular season championships, four 30-win seasons, and a program record 39 victories in 2021. In total, the Stags have won 143 games and 68 percent of their contests in three full seasons.  Fay was also a part of the most historic regular season in conference history, helping guide the Stags to a 35-1 record and a .972 winning percentage, the highest in NCAA Division I history. That success put the Stags in the national spotlight as Fairfield was awarded their first-ever ranking in a national Top-25 poll as they reached No. 23 in Baseball America. The Stags were also in the top 30 in the Baseball Writers and Collegiate Baseball Newspaper national polls.
