Ryan Tierney, one of the most accomplished players in Hofstra men's lacrosse history, will have his No. 13 jersey retired in a pregame ceremony on Saturday. A member of the Pride from 2017 to 2021, Tierney finished his career as the program's all-time leader in goals (164) and points (251) while also ranking among the top scorers in CAA history. The 2021 CAA Player of the Year and 2017 CAA Rookie of the Year, Tierney earned multiple All-CAA honors and All-America recognition during his career. He will become just the fourth men's lacrosse student-athlete in program history to have his jersey retired, cementing his legacy as one of the defining players in Hofstra lacrosse history.

Hofstra enters Saturday's game with a 2-7 overall mark and a CAA record of 0-2. The Pride's last two games have been decided by a total of three goals, including a narrow 15-13 defeat to #20 Sacred Heart this past Saturday. Drew Bogardus led Hofstra with four goals in the game, while Gus Langtry and Trevor Natalie both had three points on two goals and one assist. 

Fairfield will bring a 4-6 overall record and a 1-2 CAA record into Saturday's match-up. The Stags most recently dropped a 16-10 contest to Stony Brook last Saturday. Rob Moore had four points on four assists for Fairfield, while Jake Gilbert tallied three points on two goals and one assist. 

Saturday will be the 18th all-time meeting between Hofstra and Fairfield. The Stags lead the series, 9-8. Fairfield, #20 in the nation at the time, won 14-10 in the 2025 meeting.
