Two Stags earned weekly honors from the MAAC as Maddie Mills was named the MAAC Offensive Player of the Week and Maddy Theriault earned her third MAAC Rookie of the Week award from the conference office. The duo combined for seven points as each player scored a goal and dished out at least one assist in Fairfield's 2-0 week.
"We're really happy for Maddie and Maddy," Head Coach David Barrett said. "Both of them were big contributions to our wins this week. We're all looking forward to our final two matches."

Mills scored a goal and dished out two assists in Fairfield's 2-0 week. Mills led the Stags to a victory at Canisius by scoring a goal and tallying the game-winning assist. Her score from over 35 yards out snapped Canisius streak of 530-straight minutes without a goal. She also contributed to the game-winning goal against Saint Peter's. With 24 seconds left, Mills slid to keep the ball in play and hit it up the field which led to the game-winner with 11 seconds left.
