Providence vs. Fairfield final score: Friars dust up Stags, 97-56

The Providence Friars picked up their first win of the season on Wednesday afternoon.

The Friars soundly defeated the Fairfield Stags, 97-56, to move to 1-0 on the year. Providence’s victory was their 12th season-opening win in a row, and Ed Cooley improved to 10-0 in season openers as head coach of the Friars as well.

Providence got lots of contributions from just about everyone who took the floor. But the standouts in the game were the ones they needed most, as David Duke and Nate Watson led the charge.
