Freshman enthusiasm combined with senior experience erupted this weekend during the Fairfield men's and women's cross country team's participation in the NCAA northeast regional championships. At the end of the day they came away with the women in 33rd place overall and the men in 34th at Van Cortlandt Park of Westport on Saturday Nov.

Quick passing. Impregnable defense. Lightning speed on offense. These are the key factors that describe our very own Fairfield women's basketball team, a group of women that are pumped and ready to kick off the 2006-2007 season.

In their first two contests of the season, the Fairfield swimming and diving teams came away a little bruised but still optimistic. The Stags took on St. Peter's College in a dual meet held at home on Friday. The teams came in fairly confident, anticipating a strong victory and a good way to start off the season.

This past weekend, Fairfield alumni of all ages returned to campus for the annual Homecoming events. Some of the most noticeable alumni, however, were former Stag athletes.
