The win improves the Stags to 10-10 overall and 6-3 in the MAAC.
The Stag's offense had a big game, with five different players scoring in double-digits. Sophomores Lauren Groom, Baendu Lowenthal, Juniors Sabra Wrice, Meka Werts, and Freshman Stephanie Geehan all reached double figures. The Stags are currently undefeated when scoring over 70 points in a game.
Fairfield outrebounded the Purple Eagles as well. Rebounding is key to the Stags' gameplan, it gives them a transition game after a defensive rebound, while also giving the more chances on the offensive end. Fairfield scored 26 second chance points while limiting Niagara to eight.
And with Loyola beating Iona on Thursday, Fairfield has a chance to get the number two seed going into the MAAC tournament.
Here are the current MAAC Standings:
1. Marist 9-0
2. Loyola 7-2
3. Iona 7-2
4. Fairfield 6-3
Fairfield has lost to both Iona and Marist, but beat Loyola in Baltimore earlier in the season. Sunday at 4:30 in Bridgeport, the Stags take on the Greyhounds again. A win would put Fairfield in third place, with an eye on second.
