The Stags' statistical best defense in the MAAC will hit the road to take on the second-highest scoring team in the conference when the Fairfield University Women’s Basketball team travels to Monmouth on Saturday for a 4:00 pm game airing live on ESPN3. Fairfield enters the game allowing 57.5 points per game which is the lowest number in the conference while the Hawks are scoring 65.3 points per contest which only trails Quinnipiac's 66.1 ppg. The Stags are (4-4) on the road and Monmouth is (4-5) at home averaging 576 fans.
THE HAWKS SCOUTING REPORT: The second-highest scoring offense in the MAAC, the Hawks’ offense has cooled down recently averaging 61 points per game since their historic win against Marist. The Hawks rank 20th in the country for most 3-pointers made with 157, which also leads the conference. The biggest reason for that number has been sharpshooter Sarah Olson who averages 2.6 3-pointers per contest which is the 39th best number nationally and second in the MAAC. Fairfield will have plenty of chances to guard her shot, as only 12 players in the country have attempted more long range shots. Another problem that the Hawks will provide the Stags is the battle on the boards. Fairfield will come into the game allowing the fewest offensive boards in the league, but have not seen a player like Christina Mitchell yet. Mitchell, a 6-4 junior ranks eighth nationally with four offensive rebounds per game and has 9.6 boards overall in just 28.4 minutes per game.
