The 2015 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Champion Women’s Lacrosse team Fairfield Stags has announced their 2016 schedule. Their spring slate includes 16 games, with seven games to be played at the friendly confines of Rafferty Stadium.
The MAAC Championships will begin with first round action on April 30. Six teams qualify for the tournament with the top two seeds earning a first round bye. The MAAC Champion will automatically qualify for the NCAA Tournament that is set to begin on May 13.
Last season, Fairfield (14-5)(7-1) finished second in the regular season and defeated third seeded Monmouth and top seeded Canisius on their way to the league title and NCAA Tournament berth. The Stags lost to #11 Princeton in the First Round. It was Fairfield’s third MAAC Championship and marked their second trip to the NCAA Tournament.
