The #1 seeded Stags (22-6)(17-0) defeats Niagara (17-9)(13-4) 3-0 (25-21, 25-23, 25-13) in Alumni Hall for their 18th win in a row. "We understand that this weekend's matches don't mean as much as they potentially could have from a tournament seeding standpoint, but the way we operate as a program is to treat every match and every opponent the same," Kress said. "So we will certainly continue to do that this weekend. We'll prepare the way always do and we'll be ready to go." "We realize that we're still not operating at 100 percent," Kress continued. "Our offense is just a step off here and there, and the more competitive reps that we can get, the better off we're going to be heading into the postseason."
The Stags will close out the 2017 MAAC Volleyball Regular Season tomorrow afternoon for Senior Day. "I don't know how to summarize what these seniors have meant to Fairfield Volleyball," said Head Coach Todd Kress. "This program has had great tradition over the years, and they have built upon that while also establishing their own legacy. They have meant so much to me and to our team, and not just from a volleyball standpoint but from what they do in the classroom and in the community. They are high-character individuals who hold themselves and everybody associated with our program to the highest of standards."Fairfield vs. Canisius – Senior DaySunday, Nov. 12 @ 1 p.m. George Bisacca Court at Alumni Hall

"Overall, I thought we played well. We did a nice job defensively," said Head Coach Todd Kress. "But this match showed us some things that we need to work on leading into next weekend. One of the things that I like and respect about Niagara is how they accentuate the weaknesses of their opponents. But we'll clean those things up and be ready to go tomorrow and next weekend." The 2017 MAAC Volleyball Championship will be held at Alumni Hall from Nov. 17-19. As the top seed in the tournament, the Stags will begin their postseason on Saturday, Nov. 18 in the Semifinal Round.

Alumni Hall looks pretty good in the above picture. If only that was the case!
