Sophomore forward Malcolm Ingram led all scorers with 17 points, adding eight rebounds, in helping Philadelphia University to a 65-45 win over visiting Nyack College on Saturday afternoon in men's basketball action.  The triumph improves the Rams to 4-6 overall on the season including a perfect 3-0 mark in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) while the Warriors fall to 3-5 overall and 0-3 in the league.

Nyack led the contest 27-24 after a tight, defense-driven first half, scoring nine points off of eight turnovers by the Rams in the opening stanza.  In the second period, senior forward Jason Hickenbottom drained a three-point field goal at the 16:33 mark to give Philadelphia University a 32-31 lead which they never relinquished.  The margin increased to double digits for good when sophomore point guard Russell Frederick canned a jumper at the 9:47 mark to put the Rams up by 11.  From there, Head Coach Herb Magee's team demonstrated intense defensive prowess, allowing only eight Warrior points in the final 10 minutes of the game.  The Rams also protected the ball expertly in the second frame, ending the contest with 10 turnovers after the aforementioned eight in the opening half of play.

In addition to Ingram, three other Rams scored in double figures.  Hickenbottom and junior Mike Dunn added 14 points apiece, and Frederick finished with 12 points, seven assists and four steals in the victory.  Guard Sheanan Martinez paced Nyack with 11 points in the losing effort.

Up next for the Rams is a non-league game against UMass Lowell at the Gallagher Center on Wednesday, December 12.  The contest with the visiting River Hawks begins at 6:00 p.m.
