BURLINGTON — It wasn’t Fairfield’s night on Monday when the Trojans traveled to Burlington for a Southeast Conference road game. The Trojans were upended 10-0 in league play.
Fairfield’s defense did an OK job of holding back the powerful Grayhounds in the first half. Burlington collected four early goals to take a 4-0 lead before halftime.
Burlington really started pouring it on in the second half, adding six goals to reach the 10-goal mercy rule.
Fairfield let up 26 shots on goal from the Grayhounds, who have now won two SEC games by a combined 19 goals.
The Trojans are now 0-2 on the season, including an 0-2 conference mark. Fairfield will host Washington (4-1, 1-1).
