[FU73]

In a meeting of reigning conference champions, Fairfield University Volleyball – the three-time defending Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Champion – was clipped in straight sets by back-to-back Colonial Athletic Association Champion James Madison on Friday afternoon in Harrisonburg, Va. Laura Seeger led the Stags with 11 kills on .409 hitting in her collegiate debut against the host Dukes.

Fairfield continues action at the Tropical Smoothie Invitational tomorrow morning against another 2017 NCAA postseason participant, the Missouri Tigers of the SEC. First serve is slated for 10:30 a.m. It will be the first time that the Stags open their season against two NCAA Championship qualifiers from the prior year since starting the 2012 campaign against Milwaukee and Duke.

Soundly defeated by JMU, spanked by Missouri, defeat Delaware state 3-0. All as expected , no surprises here. The stags very good , all league setter Manuela Nicolini (sp) did not play. Although, it would not have changed the outcomes.
