\n\tThe Jaspers and Stags did battle one hour behind schedule after the contest had moved back to 12 p.m. just two days ago.
\n\tBehind two goals were the Green and White, before Nick Henry<\/a> logged the team’s first goal just five minutes and change, after Thomas White’s<\/a> initial attempt went wide.
\n\tThen, Connor Engel<\/a> joined the party with his first goal of the afternoon to narrow Fairfield’s lead to just one.
\n\tIn the second quarter, trailing by two, the Jaspers began building some momentum but couldn’t find the back of the net. The third chance was the elixir, with Tyler Mosca<\/a> bringing the deficit back to within one.
\n\tFour minutes later, the Stags posted their fifth goal, before Jack Miller<\/a> found the back of the net to narrow Fairfield’s lead to one, for the third time on the night.
\n\tCarrying momentum down the stretch were the Green and White, with Thomas White<\/a> capturing the next two goals, the tying, and go-ahead goals to head into the locker room ahead of Fairfield by one.
\n\tThroughout the third quarter and midway into the fourth quarter, the Stags posted nine unanswered goals before Miller stopped the bleeding with a man-up opportunity to cut its opponents’ lead in half.
\n\tCasey Klossner<\/a> made things interesting with his first goal of the campaign six and a half minutes in, and exactly 10 seconds after Miller’s power-play goal.
\n\tWith the Stags ahead by as much as six, but in the box for slashing, the Jaspers took advantage one final time with a Thomas White<\/a> power-play goal.
<\/p>\n
\n\tThomas White<\/a> added three goals on eight shots, with four coming on goal.
\n\tJack Miller<\/a> registered two goals on as many shots on goal.
\n\tCasey Klossner<\/a> won 10 faceoffs on 24 attempts. The reigning MAAC Co-Faceoff Specialist of the Week also logged a goal in one attempt, while picking up a team-high four groundballs in the effort.
\n\tTyler Mosca<\/a> posted a team-high three points with one goal and two assists on four shots. Mosca also picked up one ground ball.
\n\tConnor Engel<\/a> also recorded one goal on three shots, while picking up two groundballs on the afternoon.
\n\tNick Henry<\/a> posted his first goal of the season on three shots and one on target.
\n\tManhattan logged nine total saves on the day. The Jaspers also cleared 17 of 21 total attempts. On extra-man opportunities, the Green and White were two-of-two.
