\n\tFairfield didn’t take long to get the scoring started, striking twice less than 70 seconds into the contest.
\n\tLauren Maher<\/a> and Ella Brunette<\/a> each notched a goal of their own\u00a0in roughly a minute and a half around halfway through the first quarter to knot the game up at two-all.
\n\tThe Stags then ripped off four consecutive goals before the end of the first, with three coming off the stick of Haley Burns.\u00a0
\n\tFollowing up their act to kick off the second, the lead for the hosts quickly bloomed to eight after the fourth of the quarter was scored just past six minutes in.\u00a0
\n\tMaher tallied her second before the Jaspers went to the locker room facing a 12-3 deficit.\u00a0
\n\tWhile the third quarter remained mainly uneventful for the visitors, Sofia Best<\/a> scored off a feed from Moira Marcozzi<\/a> with under three minutes to play.\u00a0
\n\tBefore the game came to a close, Maher capitalized off the pass from Ella Hirsch<\/a> to net her third goal of the afternoon.
<\/p>\n
\n\tSenior attacker Lauren Maher<\/a> found her way to three goals, her third hat trick of the season, all coming on the road.\u00a0
\n\tFreshman midfielder Ella Brunette<\/a> and attacker Sofia Best<\/a> accumulated the two other scores for the Jaspers, posting their 35th and third, respectively.\u00a0
\n\tRedshirt Junior defender Julia Harvey<\/a> both caused the most turnovers (two) and scooped up the most ground balls (three) amongst her teammates.\u00a0
\n\tJunior midfielder Audrey Ziff<\/a> won the most draw controls with four.\u00a0
\n\tRedshirt Junior goalkeeper Sophie Pasnak<\/a> logged 16 saves through a full 60 minutes, her second-highest total in 2026 (18, @ UMass Lowell).\u00a0
