FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Fairfield University Women's Lacrosse begins the MAAC portion of the 2025 schedule this Saturday, March 22 at Siena. Opening draw in Loudonville between the top two teams in the preseason poll is slated for noon.
 
Fairfield University Stags (2-6, 0-0 MAAC)

• Fairfield has not played since a March 9 loss at Denver – now #24 in the nation – by a score of 18-6.
