Stags lead 20-10; 7:43 left in first half

Loyola has not scored in the past five minutes, but Fairfield has not taken as much advantage as it possibly could have. The Stags are playing very tough defense and have forced six turnovers, which they have turned into seven points.

Greg Nero hit four straight points after the last media timeout to take the team lead with seven points. Van Schaick increased his total to nine.

Loyola is now shooting 23.1% and turned the ball over on a bad pass to Omari Isreal before the media timeout.
