The Fairfield University women's soccer ends a short two-game homestand on Thursday night when it hosts the University of Hartford on Lessing Field at 7 p.m. It marks the Stags (4-4-0) only game of the week as they look to snap a three-game home losing streak. Hartford has won two of its last three games and enters the contest at 3-6-0.

The Stags went 1-1 last week, defeating Stony Brook 3-0 on the road, behind goals from Spenser Allaway and Jac Ley. Ley, who scored the first two goals of her collegiate career, both in the final 12 minutes of action, was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Rookie of the Week as a result. The Stags hosted Army, which was ranked seventh in the NSCAA Mid-Atlantic Region last week, and fell 1-0 on Lessing Field on Sunday.

Ley was the first Stag to have multiple goals in a single-game this season. She is tops on the team with two goals and is tied for the team lead with four points. Her classmate, Shannon Fay, is the other player that has tallied four points this season. Fay has done so with a goal and two assists – with both assists coming versus Stony Brook.

Allaway, who saw her first action since suffering an injury in the opener at Bryant, tallied the game-winning goal early in the second-half at Stony Brook. She has now tallied 10 goals over the course of her collegiate career, with an impressive seven of them being the decisive goal. Allaway is tied for ninth in program history in the game-winning goals category, one shy of moving into a tie for sixth-place, which includes current teammate Casey Frobey.

Frobey has one goal this season, the game-winning tally versus American, and has started all eight games this season. The fifth-year player – who redshirted last year after injuring her knee in the sixth-game of the year – has started all 72 games in which she has appeared over the course of her career. Frobey is now 10 starts shy of the school-record for career starts currently held by Robyn Decker (2005-08). Decker also holds the school-record for career games played, at 84, another total that Frobey is on pace to reach in the final game of the regular season.

Boudreau continues to impress in net for the Stags, playing all but 12 minutes this season. She has posted four shutouts – tops in the MAAC – and is one clean sheet of becoming only the fourth Stag in program history to post 20 career shutouts. The junior has made 48 saves, nearly halfway to her career-high of 104 set last season, and the 6.0 save per games has her second in the conference entering the week. Boudreau has a 1.00 GAA for the year and an impressive .857 save percentage. Boudreau made a career-high 14 saves against then fifth-ranked Boston College, a number which is tied for the school-record and is the ninth most saves in a single-game in the nation this season.

Fairfield and Hartford are meeting for the fifth-time in women's soccer history on Thursday, with the Stags holding a 3-1-0 record in the series. The Stags have won the last three meetings between the two teams by a 8-0 margin, after dropping the first-ever meeting, 3-0, in 1999. Fairfield earned a 4-0 triumph over the Hawks in Hartford last season as Casey Frobey handed out two assists and Jasmin Corniel tallied the game-winner and added an assist. Lauren Reilly made her first collegiate start in the game, and tallied a goal, while Rachel Madasci scored the first goal of her Stags career.
