After West Chester's disappointing loss at Mansfield last Saturday, the Rams saw their playoff chances come to an end before their last two games of the season.
West Chester went into the game knowing that they not only need to win out their last three games, but rely on the performance of a couple other conference teams if they wanted to find themselves in a post season position. They traveled to Mansfield for a must-win on Saturday.
West Chester lost to the Mountaineers in upsetting fashion after a shot off the hands of Tony Fannick beat the buzzer to give Mansfield the three-point edge over West Chester, 53-50.
The Rams beat Shippensburg after traveling to their court on Wednesday evening by a score of 92-84. The Raiders outscored the Rams in the second half, but West Chester had built a substantial enough lead in the first half to hold off Shippensburg.
Kehinde Roberts scored a team high 21 points in the game while Ralph Hegamin recorded his tenth double double of the year with 11 points and ten rebounds. Kenny St. George had 17 points while Harley Williamson had 18.
West Chester played their final game of the season against PSAC rival East Stroudsburg on Saturday afternoon inside Hollinger Field House where the Rams fell to the visiting Warriors 88-74.
Prior to the game West Chester honored the seniors that would be playing in their last games as Golden Rams. Ralph Hegamin, Kenny St. George, Isaiah McGhee, Sam Scott and Kevon Davis each stood at half court with their parents while they were recognized for their achievements as West Chester student athletes.
Ralph Hegamin has been a member of the first team All-PSAC East and has been strong for West Chester throughout his career as a Ram. He has averaged nearly a double-double per game and has ten on the season. He reached his career 1,000 point mark earlier in the season.
Kenny St. George was also a member of the first team All-PSAC East his junior year. He became the 21st player in school history to register 1,000 points in his junior year.
