Men’s Basketball
As it did all last year, the West Division got the better of the East in the first round of inter-division CC play. Only Ursinus’ 69-60 win against Dickinson prevented a West sweep. Gettysburg moved to 6-0 for the first time since 1952 with a 73-57 win at Washington. Johns Hopkins rebounded from a 25-point loss at Elizabethtown to knock off Haverford, 73-58, extending the Fords’ losing streak to 16.
