League Championship Series Predictions The Detroit Tigers carry momentum into the AL Championship Series (ALCS), which begins on Tuesday, October 10th. The Tigers were the best pitching team in the MLB this entire season, leading both leagues in team ERA. However, the pitchers struggled down the stretch and many experts wondered how the young pitchers and Rogers would handle the playoff pressure.

The Fairfield Stags' undefeated streak has come to an end after thirteen games. The Stags fell to the Harvard Crimson 2-1, on a goal from Harvard with just 43 seconds left in the second overtime. The Stags, who entered the game as the 19th ranked team in the country, are now 8-3-1.

The Fairfield Stag's men's soccer team moved to 7-2-1 with a 3-1 win over the Yale University Bulldogs in New Haven, even though the Stags were out shot by the Bulldogs 15-6. Now, the Stags have been ranked 19th in the country by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and are undefeated in the last six games.

Fairfield was rewarded Tuesday with the No. 19 ranking by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America with an impressive 6-2-1 overall record and 2-0 in the MAAC. However, it has not been easy as many of those games have gone down to the wire, with Fairfield barely pulling out the win in the end.

I'm not Emily Post or anything, but lately I've found that a lot of people on campus have been forgetting their manners. Even though a column was written last year, it seems like people need a refresher course. Everyone appreciates a smile or having the door held for them.

With 45 seconds left in the game, Sam Bailey `08 scored the winning goal against the Marist Red Foxes in yet another thriller for the Fairfield Stags' men's soccer team. The victory extends the Stags' regular season unbeaten streak to 13 games.

The veteran players of Holy Cross proved to be too much for the younger Stags as Fairfield lost 4-1 this past Sunday. The loss dropped Fairfield's record to 2-7 placing them 6th in the Northeast Conference.

As the Fairfield women's soccer team wrapped up a week that included a 0-0 tie with Iona College on Friday and a 3-0 victory against Hartford University on Sunday, head coach Jim O'Brian asserted that the team will continue in a "building block process."

Once again the Stags played a tough, back and forth game against Dartnouth College, who won the Ivy League Championship and played in the NCAA Tournament the past two seasons. The overtime game, unlike the one against the University of Hartford, was a Stag victory.

Four years ago Mike Troy `07 and Alex Cunliffe '07 arrived at Fairfield as freshmen on the men's soccer team. Although Troy came from Newtown, Conn., approximately 45 minutes away from Fairfield, and Cunliffe came from Lanchashire, England, all the way across the Atlantic Ocean, the two formed an immediate bond during pre-season workouts.
