"One of our keys was to play one minute, 60 times," said Head Coach Andrew Baxter. "We clearly didn't do that in the first half, but I told the guys at halftime that the great thing is we still have an opportunity to play one minute, 30 times. That's all we can control."
One halftime adjustment saw defenseman Jake Tymon at the faceoff X against the Bobcats' Dmitri George. Statistically, Tymon and his teammates came away with just six wins on the draw to Quinnipiac's 13 in the second half, but the Stags kept the Bobcats out of transition, allowing the defense to limit the fast-paced opponents to only two goals apiece in the third and fourth frames.
"My role was to take great angles and keep (George) in front of me so we could ride him back into their defensive end, create turnovers, and get the ball to the offense," said Tymon, who had three ground balls and a caused turnover in the defensive midfield.
Fairfield continues its homestand this Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. with a visit from LIU (NEC). The Sharks are 0-4 on the season following a 14-6 setback this afternoon at Hofstra.

Team played with a ton of guts and heart today. Was fun to witness the comeback. They dug quite a hole for themselves, but turned it around BIG TIME. I just hope they learn from that play to avoid what happened in the first half in the future!

It is a challenge to hold a team to under 10 goals at this point. |
