FAIRFIELD, Conn. – The Fairfield University Women's Basketball team will hit the road for the first time in the 2026 calendar year when they head to Jersey City, N.J., to face the Saint Peter's Peacocks on Thursday night at 6pm. Fairfield will be looking for their eighth-straight win overall and move their record in conference play to an unblemished 6-0.
 
Fairfield's seven-game winning streak ranks in the top-20 in the country and has helped them move into third on the College Insider Mid-Major Top-25 poll.
 
The Stags' most recent win against Niagara was an historic one as the Stags saw some memorable performances. The one at the top was junior Kaety L'Amoreaux who became the first Stag in program history to record a triple double with 11 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. She was the eighth player in conference history to achieve that feat. The 10 boards and 10 helpers also set career-highs. She is now 16 points shy of becoming the 36th Stag in program history to reach 1,000 career points.
 
Junior Road Runner Meghan Andersen led all scorers in the victory with 30 points, the third time this season she has reached the 30-point mark. She was named the MAAC Player of the Week for the second time this season after averaging 22.3 points per game and shooting 53 percent from 3-point range. She regained the conference lead in scoring with an 18.9 average, which places her in the top-40 in Division I.
