Stags Welcome Vermont to Close Out Home Opening Weekend

FAIRFIELD, Conn. – The Fairfield University Women's Basketball team will conclude their home opening weekend and finish play in the America East – Metro Challenge when they welcome the Vermont Catamounts to Leo D. Mahoney Arena on Sunday at 2pm.
 
The Stags are coming off another high-powered offensive explosion as they netted 90 points and connected on 15 3-pointers in a dominating 27-point win over America East favorites Binghamton.
 
Kaety L'Amoreaux led the way for the Stags with 23 points and a career-high tying 10 assists as she recorded her second career double-double. Meghan Andersen followed her lead with 22 points as she moved into the top-10 all-time in career scoring with 1,541 points as a Stag.
 
Andersen swished through six triples in the first half, two coming in the first 19 seconds of the season.
 
The Stags' 90-point performance was the ninth time they have eclipsed the 90-point mark under Head Coach Carly Thibault-DuDonis and the 45th time they have connected on double-digit 3-pointers.
 
Fairfield was accurate in their long-range shooting as they hit on a 50 percent clip. In her first game in a Fairfield uniform, Paige Kohler was perfect as she was successful on all three of her shots from behind the arc. L'Amoreaux shot 80 percent in the opener going 8-for-10 from the field and 4-for-5 from deep.
 
The win was Coach Carly's 47th at Mahoney Arena as the Stags hold an impressive 47-7 record in that span including a 39-2 mark over the last three seasons.
 
Vermont is coming off a 10-point win against Quinnipiac as the Catamounts 17 3-pointers on a 43 percent clip. Emma Haan swished through six of those triples for a game-high 23 points.
 
The Stags will next hit the road for their first road game of the season, visiting Big East foe Seton Hall on Thursday night at 7pm.
