Men: #15 Stags home opener Tuesday

[FU73]

The Fairfield University men's lacrosse team plays its 2013 home opener on Tuesday at 3 p.m. on Alumni Field, when the United States Naval Academy visits campus.

The Stags, who moved up to #15 in the national polls this week, are 1-0, while the Midshipmen, who received votes both polls, are 2-0 on the season. Tuesday's contest marks the first-ever between the two institutions in men's lacrosse.

If you thought the Fairfield-Iona basketball game was good then you would have loved the lax game against a very strong navy team today. Stags scored with 5 seconds left to secure a win. Coach Copeland has built himself a great program for the university that is going to do some great things down the road. His staff/players deserve all the credit for their recent success

I agree fupoint! It was an exciting win today. I snuck in a few moments to view the action. Great pose and goal by The Snowman. Coach Copelan has the program on an upward trajectory with a lot support from the lax alum.
