Yay! Now 7-0-1 with their toughed out 21-19 win over Stony Brook. And Stony Brook had some big forwards. How big? Very big!
Fairfield led 21-7 and then hung on. In fact the game might have been saved with five minutes left when the 90 lb freshman wing Caroline pulled off a tackle on Stony Brook’s 230 lb second row, who’d already scored two tries (No exaggeration, but alas no picture. The Stony Brook lady & Caroline shown below.)! Tries were scored by #9 Julie Moser, #11 Morgan Callahan, and #12 Julia D’Innocenzo while #10 Kate Welzel kicked three conversions. None of the conversions were easy; all midway between the posts and sideline. Kate has a beautiful, easy kicking style. Julia D’Innocenzo made numerous breaks over the gainline on the muddy field.
Championship game this coming weekend at Vassar on Sunday.
Fairfield ladies in red and white.
The ball carrier here – Nelly – was my summer office intern – She’s great!
This was the conversion kick that put Fairfield up 21-7 and proved to be the difference.
The Stony Brook 2nd row, who scored twice on long runs
And Caroline who crucially tackled her late in the game – tough!
Last tackle of the game – and it’s over
