FF escapes on the road. Good teams win close games . Crappy teams lament about how many close games they lost as an excuse for a poor season.

They kept with it. Have to do better to start these games. One of these days, they aren't going to be able to recover.
Great effort.

What a finish! Great game. Thought we were doomed.
Never count this team out!
Fought hard, sense of urgency at the close but never lost their cool.
Two key triples by Katey and a great pass by Iza and finish by Emina made this a game to remember.
Can't look past any team in the MAAC.

Emina Selimovic fairfieldstags.com/sports/womens-lacrosse/roster/emina-selimovic/6312 converted the game-winning layup in the final second to cap a wild finish at Mount St. Mary's with a 61-59 win. The Stags scored eight points in the final 30 seconds with two big 3-pointers from Kaety L'Amoreaux and Selimovic's last second heroics to run their winning streak to 20-straight. L'Amoreaux carried the Stags in the second half by going 6-for-8 from 3-point range in the final 20 minutes and tying her career-high with 20 points. "What a gutsy win," Head Coach Carly Thibault-DuDonis said. "We talked going into the game that we would have to show some grit. Mount is playing great and we knew they were playing great defensively. We knew it was going to take the entire 40 minutes and we took all 40 to get that win. I'm just proud of us for not hanging our head and continuing to fight with some gritComing off an injury, L'Amoreaux fairfieldstags.com/sports/womens-lacrosse/roster/kaety-l-amoreaux/6307 carried the Stags in the second half by going 6-for-8 from long-range in the final 20 minutes, while hitting all six of Fairfield's second half 3-pointers. "She's tough," Coach Carly said. "She stays ready. I never doubt her for a second that she's going the be ready to go when her number is called. Obviously she was battling back from an injury but I'm really proud of how she showed up for us today.Box Scorefairfieldstags.com/sports/womens-basketball/stats/2023-24/mount-st-mary-s/boxscore/13891

Fantastic comeback. Will make the long ride back to CT a lot more enjoyable.
But the past couple of games have probably been a wake up call of sorts. Easy to get complacent when you are winning by 20+ every night. Maybe a couple of nailbiters will help them to tighten things up a bit for the stretch run.

Two upcoming tough games to win on schedule. FF vs Siena and then Niagara follows. Stags will need to elevate their game because I don’t think the way they played vs MSM will get it done on the road vs Siena and then vs Niagara. FF just does not seem to me to as sharp offensively over the last few games as they have been previously. Stags up!’

Easy to get complacent when you are winning by 20+ every night. Maybe a couple of nailbiters will help them to tighten things up a bit for the stretch run. It is indeed easy to get complacent when you have been winning as easily as the Stags have for most of the season. Actually in some ways Coach Carly might secretly be very happy that the team has struggled a bit recently (as long as they WIN), something that should serve to catch the attention of the players in the form of a "teachable moment." Be interesting to see if they can pick up their play as the games become more important, especially since now with their status within the league, they're sure to get the best shot of any opponent each and every night. Quite a story though!

Two key triples by Katey and a great pass by Iza and finish by Emina made this a game to remember. Can't look past any team in the MAAC. In looking at the winning play in the video above, certainly the pass and the finish were fantastic. But also fantastic was the design of the play with perfect misdirection set up by Carly to clear open space in the back with no help available because of where the other Stags were positioned on the court. Without perfect execution however, it wouldn't have worked. So certainly EVERY Stag player on the court deserves credit because they executed their job they were asked to do in order to have a positive result.

IMO the key to the win was Kaety's 3 to beat the 3rd quarter buzzer. Without that shot, Stags probably wouldn't be in a position to pull that game out the way they did.

Agree 100% , I looked at that last play perhaps ten times yesterday on replay. The design of the play was excellent. Kudos to CTD and her staff! Good teams execute in critical situations and crappy teams do not. FF executed the play perfectly and that is why they are a VERY good team!
