Gail Strumpf became the all-time leading scorer with 1,873 points during the Stags' run to an at-large bid to the 2001 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship her senior year. It was the third at-large bid in MAAC history and the first since 1989. In her freshman year, the Stags returned to the NCAA Championship following a seven-year hiatus after winning the 1997 MAAC Championship. In 2000, Strumpf led the Stags to capture the MAAC regular season title and a berth in the Women's National Invitational Tournament. She is currently on top of the Fairfield career list for most free throws made (455), while ranking second in both rebounds (1,106) and field goals made (709), and third in blocks (244). Strumpf also recorded 184 assists and 149 steals during her four years with the Fairfield program. She continues to hold the single season records for points, netting 642 during her junior campaign. Strumpf was chosen as the 1998 MAAC Rookie of the Year and the 2000 MAAC Player of the Year. She was also a three-time member of the All-MAAC First Team (1999-2001) and the MAAC All-Tournament Team (1998, 2000 and 2001).
