Compton and Pittman both con tributed greatly, especially towards the end of the season. Pitt man was second on the team in assists (63) while only averaging 15 minutes per game. Junior Chris Cummings

began

to come on as a force towards the end of the year as he showed in an excellent performance against Du quesne, an 83-77 Ram victory, un til a knee injury forced him to miss the final two games. Forward Kevin Kennedy had a poor shooting year, but sparked the team with excellent defense against much larger players. This season's frustration was characterized by the team's 85-67 loss against Rutgers. In the game Owens exploded for a career high 35 points, however, the much

larger

team

too

was

over

powering. This

did have its bright spots: 84-82 upset over LaSalle in a Philadelphia, winning bomb by Owen's to defeat St. Joseph's 64-63, and a home win over New Hamp shire 83-78. The development of young players seems to be the brightest part of the 9-19 season for second year head coach Claude English. With the possible return of Marc Upshaw (redshirted) and addi tional recruits, the Rams have the potential to become a power in the Atlantic 10. season
