WVOF Lyndon Jordan Interview

WVOF had the chance to talk with Lyndon Jordan and here is what he had to say about the upcoming year and the heartbreaking way last year ended.

Q: How excited are you for the upcoming year?
A: Very excited. We got a great squad. We were so close last year. But this year we can get all the way.

Q: Is there any one game you're looking forward to?
A: Every game is important but definitely looking forward to play in the MAAC Championship on our home court.

Q: When you play Siena, will you see it as a revenge game, is there still a bad taste left in your mouth after that game?
A: Somewhat because we lost to them three times in the year, not just in the championship and we thought we were capable of beating them. So yeah we're going to step our game up kinda get revenge.

Q: What was the best part of playing on the team last year?
A: Probably playing against George Mason and seeing we had the team of guys who were down and everybody thought we were out and we made one of the greatest comebacks and to see our whole team was just determined. That's probably the best moment.

Q: You're probably going to be preseason number 1, is there any added pressure on the team?
A: Definitely. Coach says it every day at practice. You know when your the number one team, everybody's looking at you, everybody wants to beat you. Just like last year everybody wanted to beat Siena and now that's us. So we just got to come prepared everyday.

WVOF Greg Nero Interview

WVOF had the chance to talk with Greg Nero and this is what he had to say about his status, sickness, and the upcoming season:

Q: First and foremost, how are you feeling so far?
A: Pretty good I'm just happy to be back. I'm trying to get things going on all cylinders again. Mentally and physically, I'm not there yet but I'm very optimistic and I hope to contribute alot to the team this year.

Q: How hard is it to transition back into the college game?
A: It's tough. I mean physically it's alot [with] practice getting in shape. It's a pretty hard schedule to follow when you haven't done it in a couple of years and I'm still feeling kinda on edge about whether I can pull it yet off this year. But my performances have been going up each week so we're all pretty optimistic about how I will be doing this year.

Q: How did you feel about watching the team go all the way to the MAAC championship last year?
A: I was excited to see them do it because I thought they had more talent than Siena in the MAAC championship game and they could've had them really. I was excited to watch the new guards, Derek Needham and Colin Nickerson. I thought they looked really good. I thought they have a lot more potential to develop. I am also excited about the new freshmen we have coming in this year. I think we can do something special this year.

Q: Is there any one game you're looking forward to in particular?
A: I'm looking forward to playing against Siena because I want to give my best shot to them. The last two years I felt like I haven't been able to give them my best shot. I want to redeem myself. So, I'm looking forward to the first time we play Siena, especially at the Times Union Center. I want to beat them there at home.

Q: Can you make a pitch for the Fairfield students to attend the basketball games?
A: Come to our games. We're picked pre-season number one this year or we should be. We got a full stacked lineup and it's going to be fun. It's going to be exciting. So come on it's gonna be a good time at Alumni Hall or Harbor Yard.

Q: You're probably going to be preseason number one. Is there any added pressure on the team?
A: There's always pressure every year, particularly this year. We have a lot of expectations probably for our team but we set our own expectations. We don't really worry about what the media or the fans want us to do. We already have high expectations for ourselves and we want to achieve our goals. We want to be the top team come the conference tournament in March.

Kelly Boudreau Interview

Stags goalie Kelly Boudreau was a guest of the WVOF show Gettin Lite. In the interview she talked about:

-How the defense is really good but the offense has been struggling. She does feel that they have the offensive fire power to succeed.

-She says the team's goal is to win the MAAC and then win the game in the NCAA Tournament.

-Coach O'Brien has been a real help for her. Every time she allows a goal he critiques in how she can improve.

-Coach O'Brien was the main reason she came to Fairfield

-The loss to UMASS was a downslide and the team had no excuse for losing it.

-Spenser Allaway is one of the best players on the team.

Mostly about pro-sports but there is some talk about Fairfield basketball throughout the season and I have heard that they are trying to have a whole section dedicated to MAAC basketball when they will have an interview from a player on each team in the MAAC!
