FRANKLIN, MA. -- The Lesley Men's Basketball team lost their second game in a row on Monday night, falling 81-65 to the Dean College Bulldogs. The Lynx drop to 2-3 overall this season, while the Bulldogs move up to 3-0 so far.

INSIDE THE BOXSCORE:

• Both teams played evenly through the beginning of the first half, but Dean was able to go on an 8-0 run with around six minutes left to take a solid lead into halftime. The run ended up being the difference maker in the first half, as Dean went into halftime with a 40-32 lead.
• Lesley struggled to make shots when it counted in this game, while Dean shot a solid 47.8% from the field.
