#9 UNCW tied the game in the 54th minute. Despite allowing the tying goal, Fairfield held its own and kept within itself collectively to turn away any additional pressure from the home team.
"They didn't crack after that goal," Coach Rees said. "Rather, they grew into the game and quickly got back on top of their game and earned confidence to press through. The team really showed good decision-making which led to the confidence to continue to attack.
"I'm delighted for the lads because they earned it," Coach Rees said. "It means a lot to the older guys. It was a combination gritty and resilient performance that gave us a positive result."
The Stags (2-2-0) will return to action on Sunday for a Noon match against the College of Charleston.
