Bobcats Down Fairfield in Hamden, Hand Stags First MAAC Loss of Year
10/24/2025 9:09:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
Hamden, Conn. – The Quinnipiac women's volleyball team opened its first home weekend since the beginning of October with a sweep of the Fairfield Stags on Friday night in Hamden.
The opening set went back and forth, and the two sides were even at 16 before the Bobcats started to create some separation. Quinnipiac closed out the first set on an 8-5 scoring run to take the first set from the Stags.
Quinnipiac started the second set in front of Fairfield as they led 14-8 when the Stags called their first timeout of the set. Fairfield inched closer, but they called their final timeout of the set with the Bobcats in front 21-16. Fairfield continued to get closer, but the Bobcats stopped any chance of them coming back in the set as QU took the set, 25-21.
The Bobcats were in command to begin the third set as they led 13-10 as Fairfield called their first timeout of the third set. The Stags made it a one-point game as the Bobcats called a timeout of their own to settle things down. Quinnipiac bounced back out of the break, going on a 5-4 run to take a 23-21 lead in the set. After the Stags called a timeout and then made it a one-point game, the Bobcats used their final timeout of the set. QU recorded two straight points, which was capped off by an ace from Carola Negron Diaz as they swept the Stags and handed them their first conference loss of the season.
