ADRIAN, Mich. — A 10-point deficit at the half was too much to overcome as the Albion College men's basketball team dropped a 78-70 decision to Adrian College. 

The Bulldogs held the momentum for a majority of the game, holding the lead early and often. Despite a second half flurry from the Britons, Adrian immediately answered with a three at the other end. 

Sophomore Kam Mayes led Albion with 19 points. Classmate Nathan Steinman added 14 points, while AJ Barden scored 11 while bringing down seven rebounds. 

Adrian got 37 points from its bench, while Albion only received 18. 

On Wednesday, the Brits host Olivet for a 7:30 p.m. game.
