ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. – The Bard College men's basketball team fell to the Washington College (Md.) Shoremen in their first game of the season in the Raptor Tournament on Friday evening, 77-83.

Liam Dyer posted a team-high 18 points, seven rebounds, two blocks, a steal, and three assists. Sam Gibbs sparked the offense with three three-pointers, adding two rebounds, a steal, and an assist. Seth Dyer tallied seven points, three rebounds, an assist, and a steal.

Lucas Tovar had 14 points, a team-high five assists, and seven rebounds. Bryce Sampah notched four rebounds, two points, and a block in his first career start. Azikiwe Cuffy-Scott recorded 14 points on eight shots, adding a steal, a rebound, and an assist. 

Jalen Umstead played key reserve minutes and added six points, four rebounds, and an assist. Klaudius Skehel was a secondary playmaker with three assists, adding a three, a steal, and a block. Dimitris Zampoukas contributed four points in five minutes. Giorgios Siotas debuted with two rebounds and two assists. 

Bard began the game with a burst of electricity after a steal and dunk from Cuffy-Scott, and solid defense plus transition buckets led to a 7-0 Raptor lead. Washington College got its first lead at 13-11 off a 13-4 run with three triples. A Gibbs three-pointer at the 13:33 mark made it 16-15, but a 21-5 run by the Shoremen gave them a 15-point lead at 36-21. At halftime, the Raptors trailed by 11, 30-41. In the half, the Shoremen won the offensive rebounding battle 11-2, leading to an 11-2 edge in second chance points. 

Liam Dyer found a cutting Cuffy-Scott out of halftime, cutting it to nine. An 16-8 run by the Shoremen made it 57-40 to equal their largest lead of the night. Tovar attacked the paint and drew fouls, leading to four straight points off free throws. A three from Skehel capped off a 7-0 run from Bard to make it 57-47. The Shoremen went 1-for-6 from three during the middle stages of the second half, allowing the Raptors to chip away. At 64-51, Bard had a 10-2 surge to within five at 66-61, as Gibbs and Liam Dyer had back-to-back threes to infuse energy into the gym. Bard was as close as three with under a minute to play after two free throws from Tovar, but Washington College escaped with the win.
