NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. – Chatham Men's Basketball (13-5, 8-2 PAC) had its eight-game winning streak snapped by Westminster (13-6, 8-2) on Saturday afternoon falling by a final score of 92-80.
 
Nick Ryan scored a game-high 27 points, shooting 4-7 from three-point range with 13 rebounds for the Titans. DJ Harrell netted 17 points while shooting 8-9 from the field. Mick Hergenrother had 13 points with 7 boards and 3 assists, and Drew Weir contributed 9 points, 10 rebounds and a game-high 5 assists for Westminster.
 
Senior Diaun Pinkett was the Cougars' leading scorer with 23 points on 9-17 shooting, also providing 3 assists and 2 steals. Senior Lovenson Xavier netted 19 points while shooting 7-15 with 7 boards and 2 steals. Senior Easton Fulmer had 8 points and shot 3-5 off the bench for Chatham.
 
Pinkett scored 7 points in the first four minutes to give the Cougars an early 9-6 lead. Chatham's offense struggled after that point, however, and a 14-2 Titan run put them ahead by 9. Layups by Pinkett and Fulmer brought the Cougars back to within 26-22 with eight minutes remaining in the half, but Westminster responded with a 16-0 scoring run across the next three minutes of play. Another Pinkett layup in the waning seconds prior to the intermission could only cut Chatham's deficit to 21.
 
Jake TenBerge knocked down a three-pointer to kick off the second-half scoring, but the Titans continued their prolific offensive day with a 10-0 run. Sam Norfleet IV, Xavier, and Fulmer would all connect on shots from beyond the arc to keep the Cougars in the game at 62-45 with 12 minutes remaining. A Drew Vizenor triple gave Chatham its smallest second-half deficit at 14 points, but a 6-0 spree by Westminster to put the game away with just under six minutes to play. The Titans would lead by 20 when the final buzzer sounded.
 
The Cougars shot 41.7 percent (25-60) in the game, but it was not enough to overcome Westminster's 51.7 percent (30-58) shooting that included a 57.6 percentage in the first half. Chatham made 57.1 percent of its free throws (8-14), its lowest percentage of the season, and was outrebounded 45-30, tied for its fewest boards in 2025-26.
 
The Cougars will look to begin a new winning streak on Wednesday at 7 p.m. against Bethany at the Athletic & Fitness Center.
