On October 13th, Fairfield defeated Wagner 2-1 in Staten Island. The Seahawks are (3-5) at home on their Wagner College campus.

[FU73]

Stags down 0-2 at 5:35 of the second quarter with just 1 shot and no SOG. 2 Wagner goals in 3 minutes.

Stags down 0-2 at the half.

Stags down 0-3 at the end of the third quarter. Wagner with a 5/2 SOG advantage and 3/0 in corners.

Stags down 1-3 at 7:40 of the final quarter. Too little too late and time is running out for the Stags.

Stags lose 1-3 and are eliminated. Stags finally outshot Wagner 10/5 and 7/0 in 4th quarter but 6/5 SOG. First NEC loss of the season for Fairfield (14-4) at the worst possible time.

Disappointing to not hear anything from the head coach after the undefeated #1 NEC Stag Field Hockey team was upset so easily by #4 Wagner. Why?

The victory brings Wagner to the NEC title game for the first time in program history. The win over Fairfield was also the first postseason win for the program.

Stags play poorly and get eliminated. Appeared to me Wagner came to play and FF did not. Wagner kept FF bottled up in their defensive zone mostly all match and seemed to get most of the
50/50 balls. Kudos to FF field hockey for a really good season that ended in disappointment.

#3 Sacred Heart will play at #4 Wagner on Sunday at Noon for the 2023 NEC Field Hockey Championship and the NCAA Tournament bid. Had the #1 Stags not been upset by Wagner, it would have been an all "Fairfield" NEC Championship Game on Sunday with the Stags vs. Sacred Heart.

Sacred Heart beats Wagner 1-0 in overtime for it's first NEC Field Hockey Championship since 2015 and is going to the NCAA Tournament.
