FAIRFIELD, Conn. – The Fairfield University Women's Soccer team will travel to face the Saint Peter's Peacocks in the first game of their New Jersey swing with a Saturday afternoon kickoff at noon. The Stags currently sit in second place in the MAAC standings, just one point behind league-leading Sacred Heart.
 
Fairfield holds the highest winning percentage in the conference with an .857 mark in the MAAC and .846 overall. The Stags won their 10th match of the season in their last outing over Mount St. Mary's. Their 10 victories are tied for the fourth most in the nation and their .846 winning percentage places seventh in Division I. It is also the fourth-straight season and the sixth time under Head Coach David Barrett that the Stags have reached double-digit victories.
