I might be biased, but I think this ref crew needs a refresher on the charge rule.

Stags are really frustrating Eleko. She has 2 points and 3 TOs. Struggling to even get the ball.

I think both shots have been missed, but Fischer had a couple of real nice passes out of the post.

Stags up 26-11 4:49 left in 2nd.

Stags 31-19 at the half. Canisius with 5 points in the final 49 seconds of the quarter.

Janelle Brown with 9 points and Kendall McGruder with 8 points.

Stags 17-6 at the end of the First Quarter.

fairfieldstags.com/sports/womens-basketball/stats/2023-24/canisius/boxscore/13886

Thinking at the end of Q3 that this would be a tough team to face in AC. And it may very well be. But then the 4th Q gets going and the Stags just put them away. Relentless at both ends. They’re depth pays off closing out these games.

FF offense is a thing of beauty. The ball sometimes never touches the floor, accurate passes and then a score. Go stags!

"It's awesome," Head Coach Carly Thibault-DuDonis said. "I'm proud of the collective effort of every single person in this program. From players to coaches to our administrators and support staff that made this happen. We have a long way to go still but I'm proud of the day-to-day intentional progress that we made. We're so much better than we were 15 games ago and hope to be much better 15 games from now."
