Stags beat Mount St. Mary's 3-0 and advance to the Championship Game on Sunday at Noon against #1 Quinnipiac on ESPN+.

"We're obviously pleased to get the result," Head Coach David Barrett, who will be coaching in his second MAAC Championship match said. "I thought we were a little conservative with our possession in the first half. In the second half, we were more dangerous and put them on their heels more. We were effective enough in the second half, we had some good finished. We're pleased to be moving on."

467 fans at the game on another chilly night.
