When it comes to explaining why Robinson lost, one person who can't be blamed is Scott Van antwerp. Despite the final result, he scored 16 points along with five rebounds and three steals. As a matter of fact, that's the most points Van antwerp has scored all season.
Alexandria City pushed their record up to 13-4 with that victory, which was their sixth straight on the road. As for Robinson, they are on a ten-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-13.

Fairfax is strutting with some offensive muscle, as they've averaged 59.5 points per game this season.
