Halftime Report: Siena 29, Fairfield 28

Fairfield is locked in a fierce battle at Siena with both teams battling for control of the game.

The Stags are again led by their balanced attack on offense. Eight players have scored so far, including a team-high six by freshman Tara Flaherty. Flaherty hit two jumpers in the final minute of the half to cut Sienna's lead down to one. She has also been a presence on the boards, grabbing a game-high six rebounds.

Siena has had a lead as large as six points and two leads of five, but the Stags have battled back everytime.

Other notable preformers for the Stags:

Megan Caskin: no points, but is handling the ball well with 6 assists, and no turnovers which is good for one game, let alone one half
Baendu Lowenthal: 4 points, 3 rebounds
Sabra Wrice: 4 points
Stephanie Geehan: 5 points, 4 rebounds

The Stags are playing well, but they need to go on a run to put the game away. If their defense can make some stops and start a few fast-breaks, the Stags should be able to hang on with the win.
