Coaches comments on the loss…
"We were too inconsistent tonight. We scored early on and for significant stretches, we played quite well. At other times, we allowed our level to drop, played poorly, and Fairfield took advantage. So in the end, the score ends up at 4-2. Continuing to improve our communication will go a long way to helping us maintain the momentum we build."
