1997 Hall of Fame Inductees

Lisa A. Mikelic '91, women's basketball: Lisa was a key player on the Stags basketball teams that went to two NCAA Tournaments in 1987 and 1991. In her senior season, while serving as tri-captain, she was named MVP of the MAAC Tournament after scoring the winning basket in the Championship that gave the Stags a berth in the NCAA tournament. She required only 73 games to reach the 1,000 point plateau. Lisa still ranks second all-time in steals with 293 and scoring with 1,681 points and seventh in rebounding with 710 rebounds. She holds the school record for career assists with 590. She played in every game during her career. Lisa was named MAAC Rookie of the Year in 1988, an All-MAAC first teamer in 1989-91; a Fourth Team All-American, the Warner's Classic All-Tournament Team MVP in 1988-89, and earned the Fairfield Rookie of the Year, MVP, Desire and Athlete of the Year Awards from 1987-91.

Charles K. Phillips '67, men's basketball: Charlie earned the reputation as a "crack outside shooter" who possessed a deadly jump shot. He finished his career with 803 points over three years with the varsity team, including a team-high 366 points in 1966-67. While Charlie was an excellent outside shooter, he was also known by fans for his tough and tenacious defense that often earned him the duty of guarding the opposition's top scoring threat. In the team's first 25 years, Charlie was one of the team's most accurate shooters. Charlie was selected to the ECAC Weekly All-Star squad twice during his career. Perhaps one of his most distinguished awards was when he was voted one of the top ten basketball players by the Alumni Association in 1971. Charles was also awarded the Scholar Athlete Award (William Wallin Trophy) in 1967.

Patricia Sacca-Fabbri '91, women's basketball: Tricia helped the Stags earn NCAA Tournament berths as a freshman and senior. Not only was she a tri-captain, but she was an extremely accurate shooter, often ranking among the NCAA Top 20 in that category. Tricia currently ranks third all-time in scoring with 1,622 points and is one of the only two Stag players to garner more than 1,000 rebounds in a career, ranking second all-time with 1,037. She led the team in scoring as a senior, netting 15.6 points per game, and tallied a career-best 525 points in her junior season. She earned All-MAAC First Team honors three times (1989-1991) and was a two-time All-MAAC Tournament pick. In 1988 she was voted onto the MAAC All-Rookie Team and was awarded Team MVP honors in 1989. She earned First Team All-MAAC Conference from 1989-91 and was a two-time All-MAAC Conference pick. Patricia also was part of the MAAC All-Tournament Team from 1990-91. Tricia still holds the school record for most points in a game (35), as well as most free throws made and attempted in a career (404 of 625).

Michael S. Svab '90, baseball: Mike became well known for both his ability to swing a bat, as well as field a baseball at centerfield and first base. In his senior season, Mike batted .395 in 35 games. Mike also had an errorless senior season at first base, a New England Division I Record, cleanly handling all 307 chances that season (290 putouts, 17 assists, and 0 errors). He was named the 1990 Male Athlete of the Year at Fairfield. In 1988, Mike had a three home run game. Mike's other awards included All-MAAC in 1988-90 and All-New England in 1990, earning him a spot in the annual All-Star Game at Fenway Park. Mike hit the ball out of Fenway during the All-Star Game. He broke the school record for longest hitting streak, hitting in 18 straight games in 1990. In his senior year, he ranked among the nation's leaders with six home runs and 45 RBIs and served as captain of the team.
