Fairfield volleyball: 2022

Junior Maddie Jones had a stellar junior campaign. Jones tallied a total of 351 assists last time around. She will be at the for front once again as Fairfield’s main setter.

Fairfield will return nine in total from last years varsity squad.

The Trojans will see a lot of familiar foes this season, including the usual SEC foes including Mt. Pleasant, Washington, Fort Madison, Keokuk and Burlington.

After falling short of the SEC title to Mt. Pleasant in 2021, the Trojans have all the tools to compete for the crown this year. They open their season against Pella on Aug. 23 before returning home for a quad against Albia, Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont and Hillcrest Academy.
