BRIDGEPORT, CT - Siena Basketball looks to conclude its grueling six-game, 12-day stretch on a high note when the Saints take on Fairfield Sunday at 2 p.m. at Webster Bank Arena. Siena is looking to bounce back from a tough defeat vs. Rider Friday, and end their challenging stretch with a winning record.
Siena (9-9, 6-4) has gone 3-2 so far during their flurry of activity, but are trying to erase the sour taste in their mouth from having their chance at a perfect 4-0 homestand spoiled by the Broncs Friday night. The Saints, however, will look to build on their success in afternoon contests, having won four straight matinees.
Fairfield (10-11, 4-6) meanwhile has encountered a seesaw of success in conference action. The Stags swept their Western New York trip to open MAAC play, only to drop their next five conference contests. The Stags have since righted the ship, posting back-to-back wins before suffering a heartbreaking loss in the final seconds Friday at Monmouth. Today's game marks the start of Fairfield's own six-game, 12-day stretch, albeit with all six games set to be played at Webster Bank Arena.
Siena is in search of its fourth straight regular season series sweep of Fairfield, having won seven straight. Overall, the Saints hold a 45-32 advantage in the all-time series. The programs are meeting for the first time in three years in Bridgeport, where the Stags have captured five of the previous seven matchups.
