Five Things to Know 
1. Back to Back at Demske 
The Golden Griffins return home to Demske Sports Complex for a second straight weekend, welcoming MAAC opponent Fairfield. Last Saturday, Canisius defeated Monmouth 16-15 in overtime. The last time the Griffs played back-to-back games at home was March 27 and 30, 2019 when they played host to Siena and Quinnipiac. 

2. Series History 
Canisius trails the all-time series with the Stags 16-12. The Griffs last regular season win against Fairfield in Buffalo was March 25, 2016 when the Griffs were victorious by a 12-6 margin. 

3. Overtime Winners 
Last Saturday's victory against Monmouth was the first overtime victory for the Golden Griffins since March 30, 2018 at Iona. After trailing 14-7 with 17:43 remaining in regulation, Canisius outscored the Hawks 9-1 to come away with the 16-15 victory. 

4. Marissa's Stellar Play
With her three-point performance against Monmouth, senior Marissa Malvaso extended her point streak to 19 games. Against Monmouth, Malvaso scored the game winning goal for Canisius in overtime, helping the Griffs erase a seven-goal halftime deficit. The last contest the Syracuse, N.Y. native did not register a point was March 22, 2019, against Manhattan. Malvaso has had a point for the Griffs in 30 of the last 31 contests. 

5. Herrnreiter Finds the Scoring Column 
Freshman Steph Herrnreiter scored the first two goals of her collegiate career against Monmouth. The Lancaster, N.Y., native scored her second goal of the afternoon in the second half, during the 9-1 scoring run by the Griffs.
