"I'm glad to come out and play a pretty good game overall," Head Coach David Barrett said. "Obviously we are very dangerous going forward and created a lot of good chances. Their goalkeeper really kept them in the game, she made some really good saves and kept it where it was. I'm pleased with the result and to get the bye for the playoffs and we will now turn our attention there."

Fairfield finishes the regular season with a (9-5-4) overall record and a (7-2-1) mark in the MAAC to clinch the two-seed for the second-straight season. Quinnipiac won the 2023 MAAC Regular Season title with a record of (11-3-1) and (9-0-1).
