FAIRFIELD, Conn. — Fairfield University Volleyball opened the home portion of the 2025 season with a convincing 3-0 sweep of visiting Yale on Wednesday at Leo D. Mahoney Arena. The Stags hit a scorching .383 against the reigning Ivy League Champions, highlighted by an errorless .733 day from Maya Walker and a .579 showing without an error by Allie Elliott.
 
Fairfield improves to 4-2 on the season and snaps a four-match losing streak against Yale. The Bulldogs slip to 0-3 on the campaign. The Stags took the match by set scores of 28-26, 25-18 and 25-20.
 
"I thought we really put pressure on Yale in all aspects of the match," said Head Coach Nancy Somera. "Abby [Jandro] and Zofia [Sykut] kept all our hitters involved, and they made smart decisions with their swings. We served tough, we picked up some crucial digs in the back row, and we were very active at the net. It was an all-around solid performance against a very tough opponent."
 
Elliott posted 11 kills without an error (11-0-19), attacking at a .579 percentage, while contributing nine digs. Walker matched Elliott with 11 kills (11-0-15) swinging at a .733 clip, and Mamie Krubally joined them as the third Stag with 11 kills.

Emma Borolotti pitched in nine kills from the right side and the duo of Harlan Wyche and Katelyn Cook had five apiece.
 
Zofia Sykut and Abby Jandro facilitated the offense with 24 and 20 assists, respectively. Fairfield's .383 hitting percentage was the best in the MAAC so far this season and Fairfield's highest mark in a non-conference match since blistering the ball at .391 in a 2018 sweep of Delaware State.
 
Cook paced the back row with 13 digs, and Jandro added 11 digs to complete her double-double. Delaney Moon donned the libero jersey and picked up seven digs along with four assists and an ace.

Wyche delivered four of the Stags' six service aces – including three straight to break open the second set – and got a hand on six of Fairfield's seven team blocks. Krubally had a piece of four send-backs, including the solo stuff that ended a back-and-forth first frame after 18 ties and seven lead changes.
 
Up next, the Stags will host Northeastern at Mahoney Arena on Friday, Sept. 12 at 6 p.m. Prior to the match, Fairfield will recognize its 2024 MAAC Championship team. Northeastern is also 4-2 on the young season.
 
The current homestand concludes on Saturday with another team of Huskies when UConn comes to Mahoney Arena for a 4 p.m. contest.
 
Admission is free for all fans to all regular season home games this season.
