CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Charleston Southern women's basketball team fell to 0-2 at home this season, as the Fairfield Stags came to The Buc Dome and picked up a 79-36 win on Monday night.

In a low-scoring first quarter, the Buccaneers jumped out to a 5-0 lead, as the Stags did not get their first field goal until the 7:19 mark of the opening quarter. After that, the Bucs did not get another field goal until Tyonna Bailey knocked down a three pointer to tie the game at eight.

From there, the Stags proceeded to go on a 10-0 run, until a layup from Catherine Alben stopped the run with 7:26 to go in the first half. Charleston Southern was outscored 19-6 in the second quarter.

In the second half, the Stags turned it up from beyond the arc, as they made nine three-points and shot over 50% from the field. Saniya Jones was the Buccaneers' leader with 11 rebounds in 31 minutes. Both were season highs. Courtney Davis played a career-high 24 minutes, and Tyonna Bailey was the leading scorer with nine points.
