Izzy Mendez scored the Friars' lone goal in the first quarter.

FAIRFIELD, CONN.– The Providence College field hockey team fell to Fairfield, 2-1, in non-conference action on Sept. 22 in Fairfield, Conn. Providence dropped to 4-3 on the season, while the Stags improved to 7-1 overall.
 
MATCH HIGHLIGHTS:
• The Friars got on the board just 6:55 into the game as Izzy Mendez (Cedar Grove, N.J.) scored on a penalty corner, assisted by Mary O'Reilly (Longmeadow, Mass.) and Maddie Babineau (Milton, Ontario).
 
• Fairfield tied the game, 1-1, with just eight-seconds left in the first quarter as Danielle Profita scored off a feed from Malen Iglesias.  
 
• The Stags were awarded a penalty stroke 2:52 into the third quarter, which Emma Matlach managed to get passed Lydia Rice (Carle Place, N.Y.). Rice dove right to make the stop and got a touch on the ball, but it ricocheted off her pad and bounced over the goal line.
 
• The Friars out-shot the Stags, 21-8, and held a 12-4 advantage in penalty corners for the game, including an 18-4 edge in shots during the second half. 
 
• In the fourth quarter, Providence outshot Fairfield, 13-0, and held a 7-0 edge in offensive corners, but were unable to get the equalizer.
 
• Zoe Rosen collected seven saves for Fairfield in the win, while Rice finished the day with one save. Junior Sydney Cramer (Sciota, Pa.) was credited with a defensive save for the Friars.
