Just like that, Fairfield has put itself in position to get back to .500 in the MAAC.

The Stags scored a pair of home victories over the weekend to get to 6-7 in conference play with a tough trip to Siena standing in the way of being .500 in the league.
They did it at 1-1. They did it at 2-2. They did it at 3-3. They haven't done it since -- and now they get another shot, but it's a tough task on the road against a team that can play.

Fairfield limited Rider to just two points in overtime and scored a 77-69 win over the Broncs on Feb. 3, evening that season series at 1-1. Niagara came to Bridgeport and lost Sunday as the Stags also squared that series.

Fairfield's two Harbor Yard wins brought their home record to just 3-6 this season. Fairfield improved to 8-13 overall.

This week, after the visit to Albany to play Siena, the Stags are home for league co-leading Iona on Saturday.
