After False Start, Fagan Thrived for UConn After False Start, Fagan Thrived for UConn After False Start, Fagan Thrived for UConn
After False Start, Fagan Thrived for UConn Norwalk native Donna Fagan remembers her first at-bat with the University of Connecticut softball team.

Fagan played for four years for the Huskies, from 1991 to 1994, and still ranks in the Top 10 in nine categories. She was the starting shortstop in …

"This was a great high school lacrosse game,'' Smalkais said. "It's a shame somebody had to lose." Connor Kelly scored five goals for Fairfield P…
