Box Score LEXINGTON, Ky. — A slow start was too much for the Earlham College men's basketball team to overcome on Wednesday night as the Quakers fell 90-54 to Transylvania University.

The Quakers got behind early in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference contest as the Pioneers grabbed a 15-5 lead with 15:32 left in the opening period.

When Josh Green (Campbellsburg, IN, West Washington) scored to make it 17-7 at the 14:31 mark, that would be as close as Earlham would get as the Quakers eventually trailed 44-19 at the half. In the second half, the Pioneers (11-5, 5-4) extended their margin to post the victory.
