Fairfield, Conn. -- Leroy Robertson made 10 of 13 field goal attempts and tallied a team-high 22 points, helping Fairfield University post a 102-71 victory over the USDBL All-Stars in an exhibition game. Robertson made all four of his second-half shots and scored 10 points in the final 20 minutes.
The Stags scored the first eight points of the first half, led by Nick Delfico's two layups. The All-Stars gained the lead three minutes later, taking a 15-14 edge following Darwin Carr's three-point basket. Following a 30-second Fairfield timeout, Robertson scored six straight points to give Fairfield the lead for good, 20-15. USDBL pulled within two points a couple of minutes later, as Donald Moxley's three-pointer made the score 22-20 with 9:59 remaining.
The All-Stars never came closer as a three-point play by Rob Thomson made the score 25-20 on the team's next possession.
