READING, Penn.—The Adrian College men’s basketball team dropped their second game in as many days on Saturday evening, falling 62-68 in the consolation game of the Wyndham Tournament at Albright College in Pennsylvania.

Missed shots and turnovers by Adrian led to an 11-5 run out of the gate in the second half for Neumann and the Bulldogs were unable to cut into the lead until the final minute of play when a 12-0 Adrian run culminated in a Matt Wayne lay-up with 14 seconds left to bring Adrian to within two, 62-64.

Neumann, however, converted on its two free throw attempts and forced another AC turnover in the final seconds to secure the win.

Ryan Gallus had a tremendous scoring night for the Bulldogs in a losing effort. Playing all 40 minutes, the junior guard from Roseville netted 19 points on 8-of-15 shooting from the floor with two triples and a free throw. He also led grabbed eight rebounds and added three assists and two steals as the Bulldogs dropped to 0-2 on the season.

Wayne, a freshman from Riverview, again came off the bench and had productive minutes, scoring 14 points and leading AC with nine boards in 20 minutes of play. Corey Smith added eight points and six rebounds for the Bulldogs, who will next travel to Rochester College on Saturday.

Turnovers were an issue for Adrian, as the young squad had 27 give-aways to Neumann’s 16. Neumann scored 27 points off those turnovers, including 18 in the later half. The Bulldogs shot 42% from the floor, but hit just 2-of-11 shots from long range in the second stanza.
