Devin Lampron led the Fairfield attack with a hat trick, nabbing the team lead with 14 goals on the season. Two more Stags posted three points on the day with Jeremiah netted two goals and an assist and Rob Moore scoring one with a pair of helpers.
 
Jake Gilbert chipped in two goals, John Okupski had a goal and an assist, and Thomas Connolly registered the first goal of his collegiate career.
 
On the opposite end of the field, Julian Radossich had four caused turnovers and two ground balls. Nate Livingston added three caused turnovers, and Austin McClintic had one.

KJ Delane, Jason LaMay Jr., Jonathan Lewis, Mark Durling, Trey Ordway, Kevin Dolan, Austin McClintic, Will Snyder, and captains Will Consoli, Jake Gilbert, and Eli Adams.

Graduate students Owen Hirsch and Rob Moore participated in Senior Day in 2025.
 
CAA ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Alex Meier was named the CAA Rookie of the Week after recording two caused turnovers and two ground balls against Yale.
 
Meier was making his Stags debut on Conway Field at Rafferty Stadium, patrolling the same turf he defended during his high school career as a defenseman at Fairfield Prep.
 
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS
Fairfield has played four one-goal games this season and sits at 2-2 in those contests. Two of those encounters went into overtime, with Fairfield defeating Lehigh in double OT on Feb. 6 in Bethlehem and falling to in-state foe Yale in an extra frame on March 7 at Rafferty Stadium.
THE CENTURY CLUB
Jake Gilbert netted his 100th career point in the Feb. 28 win at Providence. Gilbert has compiled 73 goals and 32 assists in the career. He was an All-CAA Second Team honoree last spring.
 
USILA TEAM OF THE WEEK
Julian Radossich was named to the season's first USILA Team of the Week for his defensive performance in the Feb. 14 home game against Brown, posting eight ground balls and four caused turnovers.
 
WORKING OVERTIME
The Feb. 6 double overtime victory was Fairfield's third straight win when a game goes beyond 60 minutes. Last season, the Stags won back-to-back February games in an extra session: a 13-12 double-overtime win over Sacred Heart followed by an 8-7 overtime triumph over visiting Manhattan.
 
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Luke Patchen scored two goals in the Feb. 6 win at Lehigh to earn CAA Rookie of the Week honors.
 
STARTING POINTS
Fairfield was selected second in the CAA Predicted Order of Finish, as voted upon by the league's head coaches. Reigning champion Towson topped the ledger.
 
WATCH HIM WORK
Julian Radossich was one of 50 men's lacrosse student-athletes nationwide to begin the 2026 campaign on the Tewaaraton Award Watch List. Radossich was a consensus All-America Honorable Mention last spring. He also picked up his second straight All-CAA First Team nod in addition to Defensive Player of the Year laurels.
 
PRESEASON ALL-CAA
Five Stags were recognized with Preseason All-CAA plaudits by the conference's head coaches. Midfielder Will Consoli and defenseman Julian Radossich were selected to the Preseason All-CAA team. The trio of attackman Jake Gilbert, midfielder Rob Moore, and goalkeeper Owen Hirsch garnered Preseason All-CAA Honorable Mention status.
 
THE 2026 STAGS
Fairfield's 55-man roster is comprised of 37 returners, 16 true freshmen, and two transfers (Gavin McCarthy -- Bryant, Landon Whitney -- Albany).
 
The Stags welcome back seven of their top eight goal and point scorers. Fairfield returns over 75 percent of its goals and total points from 2025, as well as all but 12 of its 906 goalie minutes, and the trio that started 14 of 15 games on close defense.
 
The biggest change statistically will come at the faceoff 'X' due to the graduation loss of Dylan Smith, who took just about one-third (132) of Fairfield's 397 draws last spring.
 
FAMILY TIES
Brothers Will and Cooper Consoli will be teammates this season, both following in the Fairfield footsteps of their older brother and former Stags' goalkeeper Colin Consoli (2021-24).
 
Additional connection in the Stags' family tree include John Okupski, who is the younger brother of his former teammate Luke Okupski (2022-25), and Keegan Lynch, who is the younger brother of former Stag Braden Lynch (2021-24).
 
A DOZEN DUBS
Fairfield's 12 wins in 2025 matched the program record set in 2012 and then equaled in 2014. Both of those squads finished at 12-4.
 
UP NEXT
The CAA slate sends Fairfield on the road for the first time when the Stags head to Drexel next Saturday, March 21 for a noon faceoff with the Dragons.
