Georgia 3 Fairfield 0

The Fairfield Stags women's volleyball team (1-4) were shutout by the Georgia Bulldogs (5-0) in the second game of the Hampton's Inns and suites Colorado Classic. Click here for a complete recap and boxscore.

The Least You Should Know:

-The Stags were held to an .011 hitting percentage and is hitting only .110 through the early season.

-Alex Lopez had her best game of the season with 3 kills and 6 digs.

-Rachel Romansky only had 18 assists. It was the first time all season she was held to less than 20 assits.

-Lauren Hughes and Stephanie Cruz did not play.

Another stat that scares me is the amount of blocks that the team had. The Stags recordedonly 2 blocks, while Georgia denied 22. Remember this is a team that lost the best middle blocker in its history with Katie Mann. Does the freshmen Hayley Moyer have what it takes to fill those shoes? Or who has to step up because throughout the campaign if you compare the amount of block assists, Fairfield has recorded 30 while the opposition has ammassed 104.

Up Next:

The Stags will play a double header on Saturday, the first game aganist the host team Northern Colorado 9 AM (MDT)

Colgate 3 Fairfield 1

The Fairfield Stags (0-3) were defeated by the Colgate Raiders (2-0) yesterday in the Colgate Classic. The loss finishes a hard sweep aganist the Stags. Check out the Stags website for a complete recap and boxscore.

The Least You Should Know

-Fairfield still has never beaten Colgate as they are now 0-5 in program history aganist the Patriot League school.

-Alex Lopez still does not have a kill this year.

-Romansky had 4 kills, 26 assists, and 2 block assists to offset 2 errors.

- Brianna Dixion was the only Stag to reach double digits in kills with 10. She has reached at least that figure in every game so far.

- The Stags made 26 errors and now have 82 on the year.

This not the way that the Stags wanted to get their season started. Last year, they went 2-1 in their first three games albiet it was from easier competition. But this always happens for the Stags. They dominate the regular season but cannot seem to win in out of conference games. You wonder, how strong is the MAAC? The Stags finished the year 145th in the nation in RPI ranking and combined with Niagara they were the only two MAAC schools in the top 150. It just might be the strongest weak team beating up on other weak teams in a bad conference.

The Stags are only hitting .145 as a team and only have 2 players hitting over .300.

Stephanie Cruz has more kills than Alex Lopez.

Up Next:

The Stags will play in the Northern Colorado Classic. They will face South Dakota and Georgia on September 3rd.
