FAIRFIELD, Conn. – After four years playing the game they love in front of their home fans at Alumni Hall, the Fairfield University Women's Basketball Class of 2019 will walk on to their home court for the final time. Kendra Landy, Casey Foley, and Khadidiatou Diouf will be honored in a pregame ceremony remembering their playing careers and their impact on the women's basketball program and the Fairfield community.
 
Through their four years, the trio have exemplified the blue collar and passionate work ethic of the Fairfield Women's Basketball program. The three have combined for 1,555 points, 925 rebounds, and 601 assists.
 
Foley is one of 16 players in program history with 300 assists and only one of three to combine 300 helpers with 250 steals and 100 3-pointers. Her 126 career 3-pointers ties her for 10th on the career list with Cara Murphy '07. She is 17 long range shots away from Sabra Wrice '08. Foley has also recorded 174 career steals which places her tied for 10th all-time with Marybeth Carthier '04. Next up on the list is Dana Pellegrino '88 who swiped 178 in her career.
 
Diouf became just the second Stag in program history to have multiple 20 rebounding games after grabbing 20 against Iona. She now owns two of the eight 20 rebounding games in program history.
She joins Katrina Fields as the only other Stag to have multiple 20 rebounding games. Fields owns three such games (2/6/82 vs Iona, 1/11/83 at Army, and 2/23/82 vs Wagner). Diouf also collected 21 against Saint Peter's on Jan. 15.
 
Landy has been one of the consistent presences in the Fairfield lineup when she is on the court, recording 225 assists during her career. Landy has become an even more vocal leader this season after an ACL injury cut her season short before conference play started. She has also netted 99 field goals and contributed 275 points in her career.
 
This will be Fairfield's final regular season game of the 2018-19 season and this contest holds vital playoff seeding implications.
 
The Stags will clinch the No. 6 seed with a win over Rider and Quinnipiac, Canisius, and Marist all winning. Fairfield will clinch the No. 7 seed with a win over Rider and Quinnipiac, Manhattan, and Marist all winning. In all other scenarios, the Stags will either clinch to eighth or ninth seed.
 
The Broncs clinched the second seed in the upcoming MAAC Championships with their Senior Day victory over Siena. Rider enters with a 13-4 conference record.
 
In the final home game of her career, Lexi Posset scored a game-high 19 points in snapping Rider's two-game home losing streak. The Broncs outscored the Saints 25-11 in the third quarter and led by as many as 31 in the fourth quarter.
 
Stella Johnson is still the player to watch for Rider, leading the conference with 19.0 points per game and second with 4.5 assists. The Player of the Year candidate also leads on the defensive end with a MAAC best 2.7 steals. In the last meeting against Fairfield, Johnson netted 35 points including the game-winning lay-up.
 
The Stags will next turn their attention to the MAAC Championships starting on Thursday morning.
