The U.S. Coast Guard Academy men's basketball team suffered their third straight loss to Babson College, 69-86, on Wednesday night at Staake Gymnasium.

With this loss, the Bears fall to 6-14 on the season and 2-10 in the NEWMAC. On the other hand, the Babson Beavers now sit at 14-6 and 8-3 respectively. Saturday, February 7th, the Beavers will continue NEWMAC Conference play when they host Springfield College (8-12, 6-5).

After down 0-11 to start the contest, the Bears managed to fight their way back into the game to make it a 33-42 game in favor of Babson at the end of the first half.

The Bears would go on an almost 4 minute scoreless run in the second half that would end up costing them the game with the Beavers continuing to make deep 3-point attempts to increase their lead. The ultimate downfall for the Bears would be their 19 turnovers compared to the Beavers' 11 turnovers.
