WASHINGTON – Gallaudet University men's basketball ran into a buzzsaw here Saturday in the Field House as the Bison went up against the first-place Chargers from Lancaster Bible College in a United East Conference game.
 
Gallaudet (1-13, 0-5 United East) had its hands full as Lancaster Bible (7-6, 4-0 United East) led from start-to-finish en route to an 83-57 win.
 
The Bison shot 43.5 percent from the field in the second half as they put up 35 points, after Gallaudet trailed 37-22 at the half.
 
GU was paced by junior guard Rory Lewis (Frederick, Md.), who scored 14 points and made three 3-pointers. Senior guard Preston Kelly (Indianapolis, Ind.) and sophomore forward Brandon Chung (Kahului, Hawaii) scored eight points each. Sophomore Blessed Mbogo (Silver Spring, Md.) made a team best eight rebounds to go with four points off the bench.
