Projected Fairfield Lineup:

Outlook: This is the most evenly matched game that we've played this season. Our scores are incredibly even, even among specific positions. We've got advantages at some spots, they've got advantages in others. It is "Senior Night" for us, so perhaps we'll get a little boost of energy from that. In the end, I think that this match will simply come down to who plays better. I know that sounds simplistic, but with so little between us, it will just be on who performs. I liked the way we played this weekend, hopefully we can bring that energy and focus to the match tonight. This is a big one, let's be excited and confident.
