BUFFALO, N.Y. – With the top seed in the upcoming Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championship already secured going to this Saturday's regular season finale, Fairfield University Women's Lacrosse locked up the outright Regular Season Title with a 10-8 win at Canisius. The victory was the 100th for Head Coach Laura Field in her collegiate career.

Canisius finishes the regular season at 8-7 with a 3-5 MAAC tally. The Golden Griffs will await results around the league later this afternoon to learn their postseason fate.

Field reaches the century mark with her 89th win as a Stag.

Caroline Mangan, Maggie Fort and Julia Rigolizzo led that effort today with two caused turnovers apiece. Fort and Mangan also each nabbed three ground balls. Casey Collins made four saves in the Fairfield cage.

Skylar McArthur led the Canisius offense with four goals. Jody Chu made 12 saves for the Griffs.
