Stags down 9-8

• Sabra Wrice is on fire to start the game with all seven of Fairfield's points and the Stags lead 7-6 after she knocks down a three pointer.
• Fairfield is in a 2-3 zone defense against Marist. The Stags are usually man and have been going back and forth.
• Chris Simmons is wondering whether the student section will storm the floor if Fairfield wins.
  
• 6-2 senior Sarah Smdel banks in a three for Marist to take a 9-7 lead.
  
• Tara Flaherty cuts the deficit to 9-8 as she connects on one of two free throws after being followed by Preseason MAAC Player of the Year, Rachele Fitz.
• Werts called for a handcheck while defending on the perimeter, refs are calling a tight game so far this afternoon, and the Stags physical defense is suffering as a result of it, with five fouls called on them already.
