Weekly Ram Report

Malcolm Ingram

Head Coach Herb Magee and his Philadelphia University men's basketball team remained undefeated in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) following a 2-1 record last week with the lone loss coming out-of-conference. In the Rams' opening contest on February 5th, they hosted non-league foe Adelphi University, falling in a hard-fought contest, 50-46. Sophomore center Mike Yocum went a perfect 6 of 6 from the field, finishing with a team-high 13 points for Philadelphia University while fellow sophomore Malcolm Ingram added 11 points and seven rebounds before fouling out in the closing minutes of the setback. Magee's squad got back on track in their next outing, however, taking a 70-53 decision from the University of the Sciences on February 7th at the Gallagher Center. Ingram poured in a game-high 22 points and collected 13 rebounds to lead the way with senior forward Jason Hickenbottom tallying 18 points, eight boards and six assists. The Rams then closed out the busy week with a thrilling 64-59 win over league rival Holy Family University on February 9th before a national-television audience at home. Junior guard Mike Dunn, closing in on the 1000-point club, led Philadelphia University with 20 points including four three-point field goals and needs just 16 points to become the 46th men's player in school history to reach the milestone. Ingram added 15 points and nine rebounds, narrowly missing his team-high tenth double-double of the season. Now 14-11 overall and 11-0 in the CACC, the Rams will be back on the road for their next outing, a conference battle at Chestnut Hill College on Wednesday, February 13th, before returning home to face Felician College on Saturday, February 16th.

Here is a look at how the rest of the varsity athletic teams fared this past week:
