NEW LONDON, Conn.—In the team's first road games of the new year, Sarah Lawrence College men's basketball dropped a pair of road games in non-conference play last weekend. On Saturday, the Gryphons were defeated by Fisher College (Mass.), 94-68, and on Sunday, SLC was bettered by U.S. Coast Guard Academy, 67-53.

On Saturday, Fisher (9-12) opened up a quick lead and led by double-digits, 16-4, after five minutes. The Falcons remained in firm control, and carried a 47-27 advantage into halftime.

Five minutes into the second half, Coast Guard notched its largest lead at 41-25. From there, the Green and White chipped away at the deficit, and a three-pointer by captain Josh Niebloom (Livingston, N.J./Golda Och Academy) cut the gap to single digits, 61-53, with just over a minute to play. In the end, the Bears made six-straight free throws to ice the game, and SLC was dismissed, 67-53.
