Fairfield University head men’s lacrosse coach Ted Spencer announced today that William B. Reilly, Class of 1992, will give the keynote address at the Stags annual team banquet.  The event will be held October 19 at the Trumbull Marriott

“We are honored to have Bill Reilly speaking at our annual team gathering,” said Spencer.  “It is important to our current players to remember the tradition of greatness that they are responsible for during their stay at Fairfield.  To be able to hear from a player who helped build our program is inspirational to our current student-athletes.”

Reilly graduated from Fairfield in 1992 with a degree in political science and a minor in economics.  He scored at least one goal in every game in which he appeared in during his playing days as a Stag.  Reilly served as a team captain two years and earned team MVP accolades following two seasons.

Reilly is currently the Director of US Cash Trading at Citigroup.  He and his wife, Keri, reside in Manhasset, N.Y. with their four children, Katie, Patrick, Kellin and Brynn.

The men’s lacrosse banquet is held in October each year to honor and recognize the previous spring’s achievements.  The Stags went 6-6 in 2007, including opening 5-0 and achieving a program-best national ranking of 12th.  The program will announce its team awards for 2007, recognize those players honored with conference and national awards and announce the 2008 team captains.
