The Philadelphia University men's basketball team continued its strong play last week, posting a perfect 2-0 mark to remain undefeated in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC). In their opener for the week, the Rams squared off against former Assistant Coach Chuck Hammond, now the Head Coach at Goldey-Beacom College, on January 29th. Sophomore forward Malcolm Ingram (pictured), continuing to establish himself as one of the top players in the CACC, tied a career-high with 26 points to go along with nine rebounds, helping Head Coach Herb Magee's squad to the 64-55 victory. Fellow sophomore Russell Frederick added 13 points while junior guard Mike Dunn finished with ten points in the triumph. For their next outing, the Rams took to the road on February 2nd, playing at Wilmington University, where they came away with an 81-78 victory in triple overtime. Ingram and Frederick came up big again, finishing with 32 points and 24 points, respectively, marking career-highs for the super sophomores. A winner of six straight games, Philadelphia University improved to 12-10 overall with the pair of victories including a perfect 9-0 record in conference play. Up next for the Rams will be Adelphi University at home on Tuesday, February 5th, with tip-off with the Panthers slated for 7:00 P.M.
