Fairfield Men's Lacrosse @stagsmenslax Only 6️⃣4️⃣ days until opening faceoff at Rafferty Stadium! Seven games at Rafferty Stadium highlight the 2024 Fairfield University Men's Lacrosse schedule, which was announced on Thursday by Head Coach Andrew Baxter.

"Our goal every year is to create a non-conference schedule that will prepare us for CAA play, and this schedule does just that with competition from the Patriot League, ACC, Big East and America East among others. Our seniors have done a good job of leading the program this fall and we are excited about the challenging spring ahead of us."Tickets ($10 Adult-$8 Youth) Last season the Stags were (5-9)(3-4 CAA) and (3-3) at home averaging 621 fans.

"The slate opens on Feb. 10 at Rafferty Stadium with a noon visit from Lehigh."
Good day: LAX at noon. Temp has a shot at being in the 30s and a wind chill in the upper 20s.
Walk over to the Leo for the women's game at 2 PM vs the Peacocks (Men at St Petes at 2 PM also ).
Guess I'll have to pass on the Run Baby Run Arena this year.😜

Lehigh at home, UNC at neutral site are two tough opponents. The remainder of O/O/C schedule is wholly underwhelming. Then on to CAA schedule. Feels like Baxter needs to show significant improvement ( wins) or be given walking papers.

Key game on the schedule is March 16 when Hofstra comes to Rafferty.😀 Unfortunately for women’s hoop fans, same day as MAAC final.

Well this is the Stags first chance to prove the 6th place ranking in the CAA coaches poll is all wrong. If I remember Lehigh beat FF decisively last year. Let’s start out the season on a high note. Go stags!

Stags 2-6 at the end of the Third Quarter. Not looking too good against Lehigh again this year.

The defense looks solid this year but offense not so much...

Great effort in the 4th with 2 unfortunate metals for Gilbert. Unleash the Stags next game!

Stags 7-8 loss in their 2024 Season/Home Opener "I'll never question our fight or our effort. I think both of those things were evident today, especially in the second half," said Head Coach Andrew Baxter. "But Lehigh is a talented team, and it comes down to execution and details. So we are encouraged by a lot of things, and we have plenty of things to work on. We'll get back after it on Monday with another tough opponent coming up next weekend."754 box score attendance reported.
