RICHMOND – The Earlham College men's basketball team dropped a Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference matchup with Franklin College 73-67 on Thursday evening. Originally scheduled to be at Franklin on Wednesday, the game was moved due to winter weather.

After getting out to a 9-3 lead in the opening three minutes, the Quakers allowed a 7-2 run by Franklin. At the 10:21 mark, the Grizzlies took a 19-13 lead. Undeterred, the Quakers rebounded with a 10-0 run. The Grizzlies ended the half on a hot streak, outscoring the home squad by seven points in the final six minutes. 

Franklin led through the entire second half, after shooting a 46% field goal percentage in the frame. 

The Quakers will be back in action on Saturday at Anderson University. Tip off is slated for 3 pm, and will follow the women's game.
