MAAC plays resumes in 2024 with a visit to Siena on Jan. 5 followed by a home contest against Marist on Jan. 7. The Stags then embark on the "Buffalo trip" to tangle with Niagara and Canisius on Jan. 12 and 14, before returning home to host Saint Peter's on Jan. 19. The month of January concludes with a short jaunt to Manhattan on Jan. 21 and an in-state clash at Mahoney Arena against Quinnipiac on Jan. 28.

February begins with a return trip to Iona on Feb. 2 and the Connecticut end of the home-and-home with Manhattan on Feb. 4. In a rare Thursday-Saturday weekend set, the Stags stay at Mahoney Arena to host Rider on Feb. 8 and then visit Saint Peter's on Feb. 10. Three of the final four February games will be held in Fairfield as the Stags welcome Niagara and Mount St. Mary's on Feb. 16 and 18 and – after making the quick trip to Quinnipiac on Feb. 23 – host a rematch with Siena on Feb. 25.
