With a chance to get back into the MAAC race, Marist fell flat on its face. With Fairfield playing with mostly reserves, the Stags managed to earn a 68-63 win at the Arena at Harbor Yard.
Although Marist played without starting point guard David Devezin (illness), Fairfield entered the game without star guard Jonathan Han (suspension), Warren Edney (injury), and Anthony Johnson (injury). Greg Nero, hampered by a back injury, played and poured in 13 points in 25 minutes off the bench.
Marist opened up the game with an offensive onslaught and jumped out to a 24-7 lead. The 17-point lead was short-lived, however. Marist led, 35-27, at the half but Fairfield came into the second half and scored at will. Marist played catch-up for most of the second half.
Ryan Schneider led Marist in scoring with 21 points shot just 7-of-18 from the field and 4-of-15 from behind the arc. R.J. Hall, filling in for Devezin, scored 12 points.
This loss drops Marist to 3-8 in conference play and 7-16 overall.
