This Friday night, Fairfield takes on MAAC foe Manhattan College at Alumni Hall at 7 p.m.
Fairfield is coming off of a three-game MAAC winning streak after defeating Loyola College last week. This puts the squad in third place in the MAAC, right behind Iona College.
Manhattan currently holds the eighth place mark in the MAAC with a 3-7 record and a 6-15 record overall.
After a big win against Loyola, Fairfield will still be on a winning high and I don’t think the plan is to let that go. With Sabra Wrice getting MAAC basketball honors for the week, the Stags are ready to rumble on home court advantage.
This is the first match up between these teams for the season, so the expectations are high for both. Each wants to prove itself to the other, since neither has established dominance.
Keys to success for the Stags will be Wrice and the duo of Stephanie Geehan and Lauren Groom. Wrice must continue her leadership on the court. New additions Geehan and Groom give the Stags the upper hand in this match up.
On a side note, the Stags are having a non-perishable food donation on Friday. Fans who bring an item will be given a complimentary ticket; the first 500 fans will receive a mouse pad.
