WASHINGTON, Pa. – The Westminster men's basketball team had its four-game winning streak snap following a 90-79 loss at Washington & Jefferson in Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) action Saturday.
"We never quit," said Head Coach
Kevin Siroki. "Have to be ready to play from the start. They're a good team and we'll bounce back."

Anthony Ritter (North Lima, OH / South Range) led the Titan offense with a career-high 26 points and was just two rebounds away from a double-double with eight (one shy from a career-high). Senior
Daniel Ritter (North Lima, OH / South Range) registered his third double-double this year (fourth of his career) with 15 points and 10 rebounds. First-year

The Titans cut the deficit to single-digits early in the second half, but proved to be too large to overcome.
The Titans will look to get back in the win column Wednesday, Jan. 26 as they travel to Geneva with an 8 p.m. start.
