Philadelphia, PA- The Philadelphia University Rams (10-3, 4-0 CACC) defeated the Chestnut Hill College Griffins (2-13, 2-3 CACC) 59-52 on Wednesday evening at the Gallagher Athletic Center. The Rams jumped out to a 24-17 advantage at the half, led by junior guard Russell Frederick (Baltimore, MD/ Calvert Hall) with seven points and junior forward Mike Yocum (Dresher, PA/ Episcopal Academy) with four points and eight rebounds.
In second half, the Griffins kept the pressure on the Rams, led by guard Ryan Cook who finished the night with a game-high 20 points.

Also contributing to the winning effort was junior forward Malcolm Ingram (Philadelphia, PA/ Solebury Prep) who chipped in with nine points and 15 rebounds.
