Sophomore forward Malcolm Ingram (Philadelphia, Pa./Solebury Prep) poured in a career-high 26 points and added 12 rebounds as the Philadelphia University men's basketball team defeated Chestnut Hill College 90-52 for its second straight victory and third in the past four games.  The win improves Head Coach Herb Magee's team to 8-10 overall and a perfect 5-0 in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) while the Griffins fall to 1-12 overall and 1-4 in the CACC.

Ingram connected on ten of 13 shots from the field to lead the Rams, who also got 20 points --including six three-point field goals -- from junior guard Mike Dunn (Harrisburg, Pa./Central Dauphin) and a career-high 12 points from senior forward and team captain Maurice Martin (Baltimore, Md./Calvert Hall; pictured).  Chestnut Hill was paced by freshman guard Brandon Williams (Philadelphia, Pa./Abington Friends), who finished with ten points and four boards.

The Rams jumped out to a quick 11-3 lead on a layup by Ingram at the 13:16 mark and the margin swelled to double-digits shortly thereafter when Dunn connected on a pair of treys on back-to-back possessions.  After the first 20 minutes of action, Magee's team took a 36-21 lead behind five Dunn three-pointers.  In the second half, an efficient Rams' offense and cold shooting by the visiting Griffins allowed Philadelphia University to further its lead and come away with the victory, its second of the season against the Griffins, who are coached by former Rams' standout Jesse Balcer.

Philadelphia University will look to put together its second three-game winning streak of the season when it travels to Dominican College for its next outing on Saturday, January 19th.  Tip-off with the Chargers is slated for 3:00 p.m. in Orangeburg, N.Y.
