Series History: Syracuse owns a 3-0 series advantage and none of the three have been particularly close. This will be the first meeting since the Orange topped the Stags 17-3 in the Dome in 2000. The previous two matchups were in Fairfield in 1998 and 1999. Syracuse won those games 19-7 and 14-3, respectively.

Syracuse Coming In: Syracuse is coming off of back to back losses following a 15-13 setback at Boston College and a surprising 18-14 ACC Tournament loss to Virginia. Emma Tyrrell, Emma Ward and Sierra Cockerille have all been lost for the season due to injury. Meaghan Tyrrell, however, has enjoyed one of the best seasons in program history with 99 points on 67 goals and 32 assists. That led to Tyrrell being named one of five Tewaaraton Award finalists.

Fairfield Coming In: Fairfield has a 13-6 record with losses to Connecticut, Hofstra, Denver, Siena, Monmouth and Niagara. The Stags won the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament. Fairfield is led by Elizabeth Talluto, who leads the team with 67 points and 47 goals. This despite not starting a single game all season. Kelly Horning, Libby Rowe and Ellie Grefenstette all have over 50 points on the season for a Fairfield squad that averages over 14 goals per game. In net, the Stags have used three goalies this season. Casey Collins has the most starts on the season, but gave way to Olivia Conquest in the MAAC Tournament. Collins has a 40.5% save percentage, while Conquest has a 43.4% save percentage.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
