Fairfield 2 Yale 1

The Fairfield Stags men's soccer team (1-1-1) edged the Yale Bulldogs (0-2) by the score of 2-1 to win their first game of the season. Click here for a complete recap.

The Least You Should Know:

-Erik Ilisije scored both Fairfield goals including the GWG in the second overtime. It was his first two goals of the season.

- Jack Burridge played in his first game after missing nearly six over the past two years.

- Michael O'Keeffe made a great diving stop to keep the game tied in overtime.

- The Stags outshot their opponent once again by a 11-8 margin.

This is the game that you want to see from the Stags and I do not think it is a coincidence that this happened when Jack Burridge returned to the lineup. He was their leading scorer last year and they do not look the same without him.

This was the third straight game where the Stags held the edge in the shot category. If they continue this then their scoring will have to increase. That is an important stat.

Up Next:

The Stags will play their fourth straight home game Saturday afternoon when they host UMASS at 2:00
