CARLISLE, Pa. - Senior guard Ryan Robinson recorded a double-double with 17 points and 10 assists, while Anthony Goeb chipped in 10 points as the Dickinson men's basketball was able to hold off the visiting Franklin & Marshall College by a final of 61-54 on Tuesday night at the Kline Center.

Aaron Bailey, Drew Haueisen, and Robinson each scored for Dickinson over the opening five minutes of the game, but they trailed 13-9 after a layup from Mark Suchy. A pull-up jumper by Jack Tierney and an Andrew Gostovich triple sent the home side in front 14-13 with 12:07 to go. Jake Perry made it 15-14 F&M, before an 8-2 Devils run thanks to buckets by Chris Bates, Goeb, and Robinson gave DC a 20-15 advantage just under 10:00 remaining. F&M responded with a 6-2 push to close within 22-20 before a Travis Dobbins layup and a Tierney jumper extended the DC edge to 26-21. Dickinson outscored the visitors 7-5 the remainder of the half to lead by seven 33-26 at the break. 

It would take over two minutes before there would be scoring in the second half when John Seidman knocked down a jumper off a feed from Josh Parra. At the 4:04 mark, Justin Glover found the home side's first bucket with a triple after being setup by Bates. The Devils kept firing away from long range with Goeb and Gostovich (2) burying shots beyond the arch to make it 45-33 DC with 13:02 to go. Goeb added two more points a minute later after picking off a Sam Davison pass and going coast-to-coast for a thunderous jam. F&M would get the deficit under double-digits with 8:58 left when Jaylen Green finished at the rim cutting the margin to 49-40. Brandon Wiercinski took a nice feed from Robinson and knocked down a long-range shot to push the lead back to ten at 52-42. With five minutes to go Seidman pulled the Diplomats within 54-45, but then the duo of Gostovich and Robinson buried five straight free throws to push the lead back to 59-45. F&M outscored the Devils 9-2 down the stretch with Bates recording the only bucket for the Red and Black resulting in the 61-54 final.
