Caldwell, NJ- Philadelphia University (22-5, 14-2 CACC) closed out the regular season on a six-game winning streak in a 63-57 victory at Caldwell on Friday night.  PhilaU was led by junior forward Mike Yocum's (Dresher, PA/ Episcopal Academy) 16 points and 13 boards.    

Ram's head coach Herb Magee won his 877th game with the win, passing former Kentucky Coach Adolph Rupp's NCAA record. With just two more wins, Magee will tie the record of former North Carolina Coach Dean Smith, who posted a total of 879 career wins.

In the contest, the Rams outshot the Cougars 47%-42%, despite hitting just 50% from the charity stripe on the night. 

The Rams went on an 11-0 run midway through the first half, capped by a trey from senior guard Mike Dunn (Harrisburg, PA/ Central Dauphin) that gave PhilaU a 16 point lead (31-15) at 3:53.  Dunn finished with 15 points (4-10 from long-range). 

At the break the Rams led 37-23.

In the second half, PhilaU junior guard Russell Frederick (Baltimore, MD/ Calvert Hall) nailed a trey at 15:10 to keep his squad at a comfortable distance, but the Cougars pieced together a 9-0 run to make it 49-44 with under 10 minutes remaining.  Frederick had 14 points on the night. 

A steal and subsequent jumper by CC's Manny Perez with just :30 left gave the Cougars a brief one-point lead, but Dunn hit another three-ball to give the Ram's the lead for good as they closed out regulation with four straight points to make the final 63-57.

The Rams enter the post-season with a CACC Quarterfinal game vs. Chestnut Hill College on Tuesday (3/3) at 7 p.m. at the Gallagher Athletic Center on Herb Magee Court.
