Vanguard men fall

Vanguard University’s men’s basketball team outscored Fresno

Pacific in the second half, but could not overcome a 10-point

first-half deficit and lost, 66-58, to the visiting Sunbirds Tuesday

night at the Pit in Golden State Athletic Conference play.

Ryan Moreau’s two free throws trimmed the deficit to 50-47, with

9:00 left, and Josh Pierson capped a 5-0 run with 2:05 left to pare

it to 58-58, but Fresno Pacific, 15-9, 7-6, pulled away to hand the

Lions their 12th loss in 13 GSAC starts.

Vanguard, 5-19 overall, was led by the scoring of Conrad Adamczak

and James Hartman, who each had 15 points. Josh Pierson had 10

points.
