Strong second half leads Titan men to victory

WAYNESBURG, Pa.--The Westminster College men's basketball team earned a 65-52 Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) win over Waynesburg University Wednesday night at the Rudy Marisa Fieldhouse. 

Westminster improved to 12-8 overall and 10-5 in the PAC. The victory ended a Titan two-game losing streak. Waynesburg fell to 5-13 overall and 3-11 in league play. Wednesday was Westminster's ninth-straight win over Waynesburg. 

Freshman Trey DePietro (Boardman, Ohio | Boardman) and junior Andrew Clark (New Middletown, Ohio | Springfield Local) each scored 12 points to lead Westminster. DePietro went 4-of-8 from the floor and finished with a game-high nine rebounds. Clark was 5-of-8 shooting. 

Junior Reese Leone (Beloit, Ohio | West Branch) totaled 11 points on 4-of-8 shooting. Freshman Quincy Jones (Youngstown, Ohio | Chaney) added 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting and chipped in with five boards. 

Westminster shot 54.5 percent (24-44) from the field and connected on 4-of-9 (44.4%) three-point attempts. The Titans made just 13-of-23 (56.5%) of their opportunities from the free throw line. Westminster registered a 35-26 advantage on the glass and held a 34-22 edge in scoring in the paint. 

Leone's made three-pointer with just over five minutes gone in the first pushed Westminster's lead to nine, 13-4. A 10-2 run brought Waynesburg back to within one, 15-14, with 9:23 to play before the break. John Tastinger II's bucket with 24 seconds left in the first evened the score at 29-29 at the half. 

Westminster shot 57.9 percent (11-19) in the first half and held the lead for over 17 minutes.

Fueled by a 9-0 spurt to open the second, Westminster's lead grew to as many as 20, 60-40, midway through the period. 

DePietro posted eight points and six rebounds in the final 20 minutes. 

Tastinger II led Waynesburg with 21 points and six rebounds. 

Westminster hosts Bethany College at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
