Fairfield’s Second-Half Scoring Downs Women’s Soccer

Game Recap
Fairfield's Alex Madden scored twice in the game's second half to lift the host Stags to a 4-0 victory over Canisius in MAAC women's soccer action Saturday afternoon at Lessing Field in Fairfield, Conn. The win improves Fairfield to 6-5-2 overall and 1-2-2 in MAAC play, while the Golden Griffins slipped to 4-6-2 overall and 1-4-1 in league action with their third-straight loss.
 
Madden put Fairfield on the board first in the 53rd minute, after she scored in front of goal following a missed penalty kick. She added her second marker of the day in the 73rd minute off a pass in the box from teammate Amy Akerley to put the Stags up 2-0.
 
The Stags gave themselves a three-goal cushion just 2:31 later when Akerley scored on a long strike from the top of the box. Sara Plowman camped the scoring for the home team in the 79th minute with an unassisted goal.
 
Canisius junior goalkeeper Alana Rossi was credited with four saves for Blue and Gold before being replaced by sophomore Bailey Fenwick-Miller in the 78th minute. Fairfield keeper Aytana Muschajew made four stops en route to the shutout victory in goal for the Stags.
 
Head Coach Todd Clark's Postgame Comments
"Today was tough, we just were not consistent enough from start to finish. We have to keep trying to grow as a team and keep working together. The best part about sports is that your next game is always your biggest game. So we will turn the page on today and start to focus on Niagara who we play at home on Wednesday night."
