The win left Stamford (9-5, 9-7) in a three-way tie for sixth in the FCIAC standings with Staples and Norwalk, which defeating Darien 66-53 on Friday.
Those three teams are one game ahead of Darien, Fairfield Warde and Westhill, who are tied for ninth at 8-6.

The Crusaders (11-4, 10-3) look to rebound from Friday's 59-54 loss to Warde, but will certainly need a stronger effort against the Lions (12-3, 10-3) in a matchup of teams who are tied for third in the FCIAC standings. Bassick defeated Wilton 85-67 on Friday.
