Fairfield University Athletics

2024 Season: Cody Read served as one of the team’s most consistent defenders in 2024, starting all 17 games played by the team. Defensively, the back kept the opposition in check as part of a unit that yielded one goal or less seven times including three clean sheets. Offensively, Read contributed with three assists, setting up a goal against FDU and both goals in a 2-2 draw with Merrimack. He was also responsible for three shots during the campaign with all three forcing a save. Read earned a berth to the MAAC All-Academic team for his achievement in the classroom.

2023 Season: Read joined the Stags for the 2023 season and was a key defender through the campaign. He started all but one of his 14 appearances, serving as a reserve for the Rider match. His play in the back provided much needed support to the Stags defensive efforts. He was on the pitch for all four of Fairfield’s shutouts. He earned a spot on the All-Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) third team for his performance in 2023. Read offered support up front, putting three of his five shots on goal including the game-winning goal against Colgate.
