FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- A prediction of inclement weather has caused the Fairfield University-Quinnipiac University softball doubleheader to move from its regularly-scheduled date of Wednesday, May 5 to Tuesday, May 4. The twin bill will begin at 1 pm with the second game slated for a 3 pm start. The games will mark the final regular-season contests for both teams.

The Stags will try to rebound from being swept by first-place Monmouth University over the weekend, bringing a solid 18-12 overall record. Fairfield is vying for one of the one of the top four spots in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) standings. The first four seeds in the standings will have the opportunity to host a quarterfinal series on May 8 and 9. The Stags are currently fifth in the standings but just one victory from moving into the number three position. Siena and Iona are currently third and fourth with 19 wins.

Lacey Olaff comes off a strong week which saw the infielder post a .462 batting average over her six starts, stroking six hits in 13 at-bats with a double and a pair of RBI.

Megan Forbes and Casey Sekula were the team's top run producers last week by sending home four runners each. Pitchers Allie Bridgman and Lauryn Rhinehart each posted a win from the pitching circle.

With her performance last week, Forbes improved her season numbers with a .337 batting average and 16 RBI, the same number of runs driven in by Kaitlin Hoffman who is batting .329.

The Bobcats start the day with an 8-26 overall and MAAC record after winning one of four games against Siena College over the weekend. Quinnipiac split the final doubleheader of the series as Tori McGraw pitched a complete game in the team's 5-3 victory against the Saints.
