11:47 Remaining 1st Half; Fairfield Leads 8-6

Devin Johnson made another good pass, sending the ball down low to Greg Nero once again, who laid the ball in for his fourth point of the game.

Adam Payton scored his fourth point of the game on the next possession to tie the game back up at six, but Michael Van Schaick sent the ball into the paint to forward Anthony Johnson, who backed off his man and knocked down a jumper.

The Stags are working the ball down low on almost every possession and so far NEro and Johnson are converting.

The defense has been tight so far also, holding the Tribe to 33 percent shooting and forcing three turnovers.
