The Fairfield University men’s lacrosse team will play its final home game of the 2008 campaign on Saturday, hosting ECAC Lacrosse League foe Loyola College in a game televised live on CN8.  The Stags enter the game at 3-7 overall, 1-3 in ECAC play, while the Greyhounds are 6-4 on the year and 5-0 in league action.

Fans can follow the game on-line with video provided through B2 Networks, with the audio feed being provided by the student radio station, WVOF 88.5 FM.  In addition fans can access livestats on the athletic department website.

Saturday’s game will have several events running in conjunction with the game.  The Fairfield University Office of Alumni Relations is hosting its annual Spring Back To Fairfield event beginning at 1 p.m.  There will be a complimentary pre-game barbeque for alumni at Alumni House.  FUSA and IRHA are hosting a student-oriented event as well, with the Great Tailgate ’08 beginning at noon.

The Stags contest versus Loyola is also CONNY Lacrosse Appreciation Day.  All youth CONNY lacrosse players will get complimentary admission. CONNY's primary purpose is to promote the game of lacrosse in a safe and sportsmanlike environment. CONNY wants kids to grow up playing a game of speed, position, and finesse, rather than physical intimidation. The goal is to conduct all our activities in a manner that will set an example of good sportsmanship and friendly competition for our young players.

Fairfield will close out the 2008 regular season on the road, Tuesday at UMass and Saturday at St. John’s.
