Ryan's double-double fuels win at Waynesburg

WAYNESBURG, Pa.--Freshman Nick Ryan's (Warren, Ohio, John F. Kennedy) traditional three-point play with five seconds left in regulation sealed Westminster's 86-78 Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) victory over Waynesburg Saturday afternoon inside the Rudy Marisa Fieldhouse.

Westminster, winners of six of its last seven, improved to 11-6 overall and 6-2 in the league.

Graduate student DJ Harrell (Cleveland, Ohio, East Technical) had 30 points and added five rebounds to lead four players in double figure scoring. It was his second 30-point game this season. Senior Drew Weir (Salem, Ohio, Salem) finished with 19 points and four rebounds. Ryan registered the first double-double of his career, finishing with 13 points and a career-high 14 boards. Freshman Lucas Stanley (New Castle, Pa., Union), making his second start of the year, added 12 points and five rebounds. He knocked down four three-pointers.

Casey Keesee and Aiden Blake had 24 points apiece for Waynesburg (6-11, 2-6 PAC).

Harrell scored Westminster's final 10 points of the first half, and his three-point bucket with 13 seconds to go stretched its lead to six, 44-38. Keesee split a pair of free throws with six tenths of a second left on the clock to cut the Titans' lead to five, 44-39, going into the break. Harrell scored 19 of his 30 in the opening half, going 7-of-10 from the floor and 3-of-4 from three-point range.

Keesee hit a pair of free throws with 8:36 to play in the second to even the game at 63-all. Senior Jaxon Hendershott's (Salem, Ohio, West Branch) three-pointer, followed by a Weir turnaround jumper with under three remaining, pushed the Titans' lead to 12, 81-69. Waynesburg used an 8-2 scoring spurt, capped by Blake's driving layup, to pull to within five, 83-78, with 11 seconds remaining before Ryan closed out the game with his three-point play.

Westminster shot 54.4 percent (31-57) from the floor and finished with a 35-28 edge on the glass. The Titans' reserves outscored their counterparts 18-8.
