Jackie Kane '87 
Field Hockey

My experience at Fairfield in the last year:
"This past year has been both a blessing and a challenge. It is a blessing as we are thankful for the opportunity to train and compete as a team. It is a challenge because our practices, competitions, classes, and dorm life have changed and we are still learning to adapt and thrive."

My biggest challenges/inspirations:
"Coming off such a successful 2019 season, the biggest challenge was not being able to pick up where we left off in the fall of 2020.  We are grateful that we are competing in the spring for the fall championship, but the time away from competition was tough on our athletes and coaches."

My positive experiences this year:
"The opportunity to work in small groups was a very positive experience. The coaching staff focused on individual improvement, which ultimately benefited each student-athlete and the entire team."

What inspired me to keep moving forward: 
"The team and their tradition of hard work and excellence on and off the field were what inspired me to continue moving forward."
