FAIRFIELD, Conn. – The Fairfield University Women's Soccer team was blanked by the Canisius Golden Griffins by a 1-0 final score on a rainy Saturday afternoon at Lessing Field. The loss is Fairfield's second-straight setback and drops their conference record to 3-2.
 
Despite the final score, the Stags had the majority of opportunities, out-shooting the visitors 18-5 including by a 15-3 margin in the second half.
 
However, the only shot that mattered came in the 34th minute as Skylar Cornell snuck a shot past the keeper for the lone goal of the game.
 
Elle Scott had the best chance for the Stags in the 14th minute as her high-rising shot was tipped off the crossbar by Canisius goalkeeper Jordan Spencer, who also scooped up the rebound.
 
Fairfield also had a chance later on in the half with the ball right in front of the goal line but it was eventually cleared off the line by a Canisius defender.
 
Despite taking 15 shots in the final 45 minutes, only one attempt was on target with a Scott hard hit ball that was corralled by Spencer.
 
Reagan Klarmann had another good chance for the Stags but her header was deflected of the crossbar.
 
Fairfield out-shot a MAAC opponent for the 15th time in the last 16 matches dating back to last season. The Stags entered the match ranked 17th in the country in shots per game.
 
The Stags will look to get back to their winning ways when they travel to Manhattan on Wednesday at 7pm.
