The Fairfield University men’s lacrosse team concludes the regular season and caps a three-game homestand under the lights at Rafferty Stadium with a visit from Hofstra on Friday, April 24th. Opening faceoff on Conway Field is slated for 7 p.m.
West Islip native Drew Federico is having another great season for the Stags with 8 goals and 8 assists in the year. His 16 point total is one shy of his career high of 17, which he will look to eclipse on Friday.
The Stags enter their final Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) contest in contention for at least a share of the CAA regular season title and in the hunt for the top seed in the upcoming CAA Championship. Fairfield (8-5, 3-1 CAA) would need a victory over the Pride coupled with a Towson loss to Drexel on Saturday to secure the top seed and hosting rights for the postseason.
