Nearly 100 alumni of the ¶¶Òô»ÆƬapp men’s and women’s basketball programs were on hand this past Saturday as the Stags concluded the home portion of their 2014-15 schedules with “A Celebration of Fairfield Basketball.” The event was a part of a doubleheader that brought more than 2,800 fans to Webster Bank Arena.

In addition, Saturday served as Senior Day for the current Stags’ student-athletes with Felicia DaCruz ’15 and Steve Johnston ’15 recognized for their contributions to their respective teams.
On the court, the Fairfield women’s basketball team was edged by visiting Siena, 54-47, while the Stags’ men’s basketball club capped the day with a 57-43 victory over Saint Peter’s behind a career-high 26 points from Tyler Nelson ’18.
