Fairfield University Athletics

Entering his 15th season, Head Coach Bill Currier has led the Stags to become one of the baseball programs in the Northeast, which features six MAAC Regular Season Championships, three NCAA Regional Appearances, two MAAC Tournament titles, and a Top-25 national ranking.
 
In his 14 years, Currier has recorded a 398-310 record which includes nine 30-win seasons and a program record 39 during the 2021 and 2025 seasons. Currier also guided the Stags to the 2016 and 2025 MAAC Tournament Championships, the first tournament titles in program history. Fairfield has reached 30-wins in six-straight seasons and also became the first program in MAAC history to win four-straight regular season titles. 
 
In his 30 year head coaching career, Currier has posted 890 victories, ranking 17th among all active Division I coaches.

The program has also seen a rise of the individual talents throughout the Currier era with 63 All-Conference selections compared to 10 in the previous 30 years. The Stags have had 31 players receive All-MAAC First Team honors under Currier including three Players of the Year (Pagliarini, Caruso, and Gethings) and the MAAC Pitcher of the Year in Colin McVeigh.

Currier has guided the Stags to six MAAC Regular Season titles, securing the top seed in the MAAC in 2016, 2017, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.
 
The Stags burst on to the national scene during their historic 2021 season which started with a MAAC-record 28-game winning streak en-route to a 33-1 regular season record. The record was the highest regular season winning percentage in NCAA Division I history.
 
The Stags would become the first-ever MAAC team to receive a national ranking, slotting No. 23 in Baseball America’s Top-25 poll. They would also become the first MAAC squad ever to receive an At-Large bid into the NCAA Regionals.
 
In the regionals, the Stags advanced to the Austin Regional Final after defeating Southern and Arizona State, marking the first postseason wins in program history.
 
The Stags also secured the number one spot in New England in the final NEIBA poll, the first time in program history they have slotted as the top team in New England.

The 2016 Stags were the first team to reach the pinnacle of the MAAC Championship mountain as they earned the program’s first-ever NCAA Regional bid by winning the MAAC Championship. 

Currier graduated from Vermont in 1984 and helped the Catamounts to the title game in the 1981 East Coast Athletic Conference New England Regionals. He was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the sixth round and would play three seasons in their system.
 
Players who Currier has coached to make it into the MLB include Matt Duffy, a former Vermont infielder who was called up to the Houston Astros in 2015 and made his debut on September 16.

Currier resides in Shelton, Conn., with his wife Vicki.
