Stags beat Monmouth 4-0 for their second shut out in a row.

Stag pitching holds Monmouth to just 2 hits.

Weather permitting, the #6 Stags (25-26)(11-9) will now play in the MAAC Softball Championship game on Sunday at Noon with the NCAA bid on the line. Fairfield most recently won the MAAC Championship in 2015, the second title in program history and the first under the direction of Head Coach Julie Brzezinski, to earn the team’s first-ever NCAA postseason berth. As the unbeaten team in the tournament, the Stags are one win away from a MAAC Championship while their opponent from the losers’ bracket will need to defeat Fairfield twice to claim the conference crown and the NCAA bid.
