Panthers continue postseason push with gutsy win at Westminster

FULTON, MO – The Principia Men's Basketball team took to the road on Tuesday night to take on the Westminster College Blue Jays in an important SLIAC affair. Both teams came in tied at 4-10 in the SLIAC standings and a loss would make clinching a berth in the SLIAC Tournament very difficult. In their game in Elsah earlier this season, Principia defeated the Blue Jays 78-72. Tonight's game was close throughout, and the Panthers had an especially strong second half where they executed well on offense to come back from a halftime deficit. Principia rode this momentum to a 85-82 victory to sweep the season series against Westminster.
