EDISON, N.J. – Fairfield University Men's Tennis has been ranked atop the MAAC Preseason Poll, as voted upon by the conference's seven head coaches. The Stags earned a share of the MAAC Regular Season Championship and reached the MAAC Championship Match last spring, returning five starters from the final match to this season's squad.
 
Fairfield garnered five first-place votes in the poll for 46 points. The Stags narrowly edged Quinnipiac, while collected 43 points including the two remaining first-place tallies. Marist and Niagara claimed the next two spots followed by defending MAAC Champion Siena, which slipped to fifth place after seeing all but one player to compete in last year's final depart the roster via graduation or the transfer portal.
 
Rider and Mount St. Mary's round out the preseason ledger.
 
Fairfield Men's Tennis begins the 2024 spring season this weekend at the Army Spring Kick-Off alongside competitors from Army, Colgate, Lubbock Christian, Marist and Rider. The MAAC slate is a three-week sprint from March 23 to April 13 in which the Stags will go head-to-head with all six conference foes in a span of 22 days.
 
The 2024 MAAC Championship is set for April 20-21 in West Windsor, N.J.
