Stags 25-13 at the end of the First Quarter.

(Stag Men's Lax 14-11 ahead of BIG EAST Providence at 4:08 in the Fourth Quarter at Rafferty).

Stags 40-17 at the half. Only 4 points by Manhattan in the Second Quarter.

(Stag Men's Lax wins 14-12 to improve to (2-3)(0-0 CAA).

Stags 57-38 at the end of the Third Quarter

Stags 77-53 for the win. Stags are now (W24)(26-1)(18-0 MAAC).

"It's great to see a quick start," Head Coach Carly Thibault-DuDonis said. "That's a tough defensive team and I was happy to see us scoring early to give us some confidence. It's a tough place to play and their defense is tough to play against so it gave us a little bit of a cushion as we went cold in the second half."

"Tough home loss to an outstanding Fairfield team," said Manhattan Head Coach Heather Vulin. "They made key shots and beat us on the boards, which is tough to do at our place. We have some work to do before heading down to Atlantic City."

Didn't hear anything on the broadcast. I don't see them on the bench. They are there. Just in disguise!

McGruder also looked like she injured/re-injured something. She has returned to the game.

L'Amoreaux is having a great game - but she has also seemed a little gimpy.

[typhaon]

Did they change the emphasis on the block vs. charge rule mid-season?

I"m not arguing they are bad calls - but in both the men's and women's games the past weekend or so... it seems like we are back to the "old" rules. Lots of charge calls.

[nittanystag]

I've noticed that a lot in women's games this year. Lot of charges. But, in the mens' games, lots of blocks are called.

Both Beach and Fisher DNS , Mc Gruder banged up but played. Do not want to be injured going into tournament.

That was Beach and Fisher DNP.

Beach & Fisher collided in practice, both suffering from concussions. Beach should be back very soon
