FARMINGDALE, N.Y. - The Sarah Lawrence men's basketball team fell to the now 15-1 Farmingdale State Rams on Tuesday night by a score of 96-49. The Gryphons had previously won two straight conference contests before their matchup with the top-ranked Rams.

Top Performers

• Lucas Murray led the team with 10 points in addition to pulling down five rebounds
• Aiden Morel scored a career-best eight points, including a 2-for-2 performance from deep
• Braden Burman scored eight points as well, going a perfect 2-for-2 from the stripe

How it Happened

The Gryphons started off the game neck-and-neck with the Rams, with the two teams knotted up at 16 points apiece at the 13-minute mark but a 24-7 run to close the quarter helped the Rams assert themselves and despite a late-half score by Noah Elovitz-Fields, the Rams managed to head into the halftime intermission with a 17-point cushion. A barrage from deep in the second half allowed Farmingdale to extend their lead, hitting 10 of their 15 shots from beyond the arc in the second half to pull away and diminish any chance of an SLC comeback.

The Gryphons and Privateers will tip-off at noon and the game will precede the 2:00 p.m. women's basketball game against the US Merchant Marine Academy.
