Game Notes

Fairfield and Sacred Heart will be meeting for the 12th time in women’s basketball, and for the first time since the 1980-81 season.  The Stags hold a 7-4 advantage in the series and have won the last two meetings.  The meeting will be the first for the two teams at the Division I level.  The Stags won the first three meetings of the series, including two games in 1974-75 and the first meeting the following season.  The Pioneers earned their first win later in the 1975-76 season.  Fairfield won the meeting in 1976-77 and the Pioneers earned their second win the following season, the first of three straight wins.  The Stags got back on the winning track with an 83-55 home win in 1979-80 and won the last meeting between the two teams 72-47 in the 1980-81 season.

A portion of the ticket proceeds from the games versus Sacred Heart will be donated to the American Diabetes Association.   Between games of the double-header, the men will play Sacred Heart at 7 p.m., Fairfield will remember longtime News 12 sports anchor Bill Gonillo, who passed away in September.  Bill was a friend of Fairfield athletics, and will always be a friend of the Stags.
