Point guard Patrick S. Sissman ’10 sends a bounce pass to forward Michael M. Zieve ’11 during the Engineer’s 58-52 loss to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy on Saturday in Rockwell Cage. MIT came into the game shorthanded, missing its leading scorer James M. Bartolotta ’09 for the second straight game due to an illness. After trailing Coast Guard by 13 points in the second half, Daniel K. McCue ’11 led a comeback that pulled the Engineers within four with under two minutes to go, but fell just short of breaking the team’s three-game losing streak.
