Gryphons Host Dutchmen for Homecoming Matchup

BRONXVILLE, N.Y. - The Sarah Lawrence men's basketball team fell to Union College 78-45 on Saturday night as the team capped off a busy slate of contests on Sarah Lawrence's homecoming day.

Top Performers
  • Brady Burman led the way offensively with a seven point effort
  • Lucas Murray scored six points and pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds
  • Peter Fathi knocked down one of his two shots from deep in addition to registering a block, steal and two rebounds in six minutes

How it Happened

The Dutchmen of Union College suffocated the Sarah Lawrence attack, allowing just 15 points in the opening half while using a balanced scoring attack to keep the Gryphons off-balance defensively. An early 11-4 lead for Union turned into an 18-point margin after an SLC foul. A last-second layup by Aiden Morel sent the Gryphons into the half facing a 28-point deficit, with 20 minutes of basketball left to be played.

The Gryphons would take the first six points of the second half, but the Dutchmen would respond and halt any further progress by the hosts. Union would win the second half by only five points, but the early lead was too much for the Gryphons to overcome despite an increased scoring output. Late scores by Mason Meyers, the aforementioned Fathi and Tolga Yagiz brought some life back into the Campbell Sports Center, but it would be too late as the Dutchmen would walk away with their second victory of the season.

Up Next

The Gryphons (0-2) will return to action on Wednesday, November 15th as they travel to Mahwah, N.J. to take on the Roadrunners of Ramapo for a 7:30 p.m. non-conference matchup. Live coverage links for the contest are available on the men's basketball schedule at gogryphons.com
