Channel 12 referred to it as
the "year of the antlers," and
that it is. For ten years, the
Fairfield Men's Basketball team
has waited for this day to come
again, the day that Fairfield
would reign as MAAC Tourna-ment
Champions and win a bid
to the NCAA's. Canisius may
have been the favored team, but
Fairfield showed them who "the
right choice was."
In 1987, Mitch Buonaguro
led the #7 seeded Stags to a
MAAC Championship and in
1997, Paul Cornier did it again.
Seniors Greg Francis and Sh-annon
Bowman combined for
48 points, to lead the Stags to a
78-72 victory over Canisius'
Golden Griffens. Francis, Bow-man
and freshman Darren Phillip
were selected for the All-Tour-nament
team and Francis was
named Tournament MVP.
Didier Boucard made the All-
Academic MAAC Team and
John Tice, the All Freshman

by their fans back home at
Fairfield. Balloons, signs and
cheers from the crowd all
awaited the MAAC Champs.
When Eric Roland announced
that the Stags would arrive in
fifteen minutes, the crowd grew
in anticipation and the campus
center suddenly errupted. The
media swarmed the campus in
hoopla, while the Stags were
police escorted over to their
cheering fans. One by one the

Memphis, TN; Charolette, NC;
Salt Lake City, UT; or Tucson,

Fairfield is entering the Tour-nament
ranked 252nd out of 305
Division I teams according to the
latest RPI rankings, most likely

For now, however, the

are celebrating their much
deserved victory and according
