Joe Frager's team will have their home opener against Brown this Tuesday, November 13 at 7:00 pm on campus in Alumni Hall.

Last night Brown clobbered SPC 82-48 by scoring 52 points in the second half after leading just 30-26 at the end of the first half.

Hopefully a decent turnout of students and fans to support the team?

Fairfield's home opener last night had only 207 fans in Alumni Hall. It was the worst in the MAAC with even SPC getting 2.5 times the fans to Jersey City. Maybe the Tuesday night was an issue for the local community but it shouldn't have been a problem for the students. Only a few years ago this program used to average 1,000 fans at home without any problem.

This week FUSA has STAGS UNLEASHED WEEK for the students. At last night's game there were freebees for students at AH including a post game party across the street at the Levee.

Joe Frager and his team have earned and deserve better fan support, especially from their fellow students at their home opener on campus.
