Yale had Camilla Emsbo and Fairfield didn’t.
That tells the whole story.
The junior forward completed her seventh double-double in as many games with 26 points and 11 rebounds as Yale outlasted Fairfield, 71-64, before a crowd of 1,529 at Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport as part of a doubleheader with the Fairfield men.
With the win, Yale improved to 5-2 and 4-1 on the road. Fairfield fell to 3-3.
Yale opened strong and seized a first-quarter lead. That didn’t last long.
