FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- Emily Janis scored two goals while Marit Westenberg netted a goal and two assists as the Fairfield University field hockey team posted a 5-1 win over Siena College. The game ended Fairfield's five-game losing streak, and improved the team's home record to 2-1.

The Stags jumped out to a 1-0 lead when Justine LeBlanc sent a pass to the left side of the circle, setting up Emily Janis for her first goal of the game. The senior made the score 2-0 when Marit Westenberg came wide and threaded a pass to the center of the circle, giving Janis an open shot to the center of the cage.

Siena cut the lead in half with less than two minutes to go in the first half as Sarah Szewczyk scored from  just inside the circle after Caroline Hunnewell set up the play. Although the team was outshot by a 9-3 count, Siena still managed to stay in the game with the late goal.

The Stags put the game out of reach with three goals in a 19-minute span of the second half. Westenberg tallied the team's third goal with an unassisted goal at 43:48 of the game. Hilary Burns scored her first collegiate goal when she secured a loose ball off a rebound and used a reverse chip that caught the upper part of cage.

The final goal came with less than 10 minutes remaining as Amy Hosking accepted a pass from Westenberg, and sent the ball past the goalkeeper for a 5-1 lead.

Fairfield goalkeeper Jennifer Utz made three saves to register the win, while her counterpart Renee Clavette recorded six saves.

The Stags return to action on September 24 when they host Columbia University at 4 pm.
