Very important game for mens lax to win if they are thinking about participating in the CAA playoffs. The stags have only one CAA win vs Hofstra. Monmouth todays opponents and Hampton coming up in two weeks are perhaps the two weakest teams in the CAA and both games are at home. Best chance to pick up some league wins. Go stags!

"We know that we have to win out to put ourselves in a position to extend our season, and I was proud of the way we battled for 60 minutes today," said Head Coach Andrew Baxter. "We had some crazy moments late – myself included – but overall, we played with composure and made the plays we needed to make. We still have the season in front of us, and we controlled what we can control by earning a win today."

The final road game of the 2023 CAA Regular Season sends the #5 Stags (4-8)(2-3) to Long Island at #3 Stony Brook (6-6)(3-2) next Saturday, April 22 for a Noon faceoff with the Seawolves.

Stags outplayed in 2nd half by Monmouth but hang on to win. The Hawks are a poor team and the stags helped keep them in the game by making a number of turnovers. Stony Brook away next weekend will be a much tougher test. Nothing I saw today from FF gives me any confidence the Stags can beat the Seawolves.

Looks as though the stags will need to win their remaining two games in order to qualify for the CAA playoffs. Go Stags!
