Preview: Saint Peter’s Peacocks at Fairfield Stags BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (Interstat) — Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference play resumes Monday as the Fairfield Stags host the Saint Peter’s Peacocks at Webster Bank Arena. Fairfield (8-5) enters with momentum, having won three straight, including a dominant 121-58 victory over CCNY on Dec. 22. The Stags’ offense is powered by junior guard Braden Sparks, who is averaging 21.5 points over his last six games. He scored 26 points in just 20 minutes in the team’s most recent outing. Saint Peter’s (5-5) is also coming off a lopsided win, having defeated Centenary 116-50 on Dec. 22. The Peacocks have won three of their last four, with guard Brent Bland as a key catalyst. Bland is averaging 14 points over that stretch, including a 21-point performance against Centenary. The matchup pits Fairfield’s efficient offense against a Saint Peter’s team finding its rhythm. The Stags have shown scoring prowess but have faced setbacks against conference foes Manhattan and Merrimack earlier this month. The Peacocks’ season has been marked by inconsistency, with a notable overtime loss at Georgetown alongside solid MAAC wins over Niagara and Canisius. This game serves as a final non-conference tune-up for both teams before MAAC play intensifies in January. Fairfield will look to leverage its home court and superior record, while Saint Peter’s aims to reach .500 and build confidence for the league slate ahead. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST on Monday, Dec. 29.
