ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) --- Kaety L'Amoreaux scored 21 points, Meghan Andersen
added 16 points and No. 25 Fairfield eased by Sacred Heart 69-53 on Friday in
the quarterfinals of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament for its

Fairfield (26-4), the No. 2 seed, continues its quest for a third straight MAAC
championship and NCAA Tournament appearance. The Stags already secured their
third straight regular-season title, the seventh in program history.
L'Amoreaux, the conference player of the year, and Andersen combined for 22
points in the first half to help Fairfield build a 35-24 lead. Andersen scored
five points during a 12-0 second-quarter run that gave the Stags a 14-point
lead.
Fairfield led by double figures the entire second half. The Stags closed the
third quarter on a 9-0 run and led by as many as 27 in the fourth before Sacred
Heart scored the final 11 points of the game against reserves.
L'Amoreaux and Andersen each went 7 of 11 from the field to help Fairfield
shoot 46% overall, while Sacred Heart was held to 19-of-54 shooting (35%).
L'Amoreaux reached 20-plus points for the sixth time this season.
Cyanne Coe added 10 points for Fairfield. Carly Thibault-DuDonis reached 100
wins during her four-year career to become the fastest coach in MAAC history to
reach the mark.
Emma Kirby led Sacred Heart (13-18), the No. 7 seed, with 15 points. Amelia
Wood added 11 points, Missy Nuku had 10 points and Nalyce Dudley grabbed 10
