Saint Vincent College defeated Westminster College by a score of 101-54 to remain undefeated in the Presidents' Athletic Conference.
 
SVC got off to a hot start in the early going with the 18-5 advantage with just over 13 minutes to play.  The stretch started and ended with a JC Howard three-pointer, part of a 5-for-6 from outside the arc first half performance by the sophomore.
 
While Westminster struggled to put points on the board, the Bearcats were hitting on all cylinders. Saint Vincent went up by twenty at the 7:54 mark (33-11) when Howard hit another trey.
 
Through the final six minutes of the first half, Geoff FuQuay and Sean Kett put up five and three respectively to take the Bearcats into the half up 55-22.
 
In the second-half, SVC did not look back. Coming out of the locker room, the starters left their mark before exiting, the game already in hand. Isaac Turner would drop 13 in the first five minutes of the second half, while Ben Klimchock added two three pointers.
 
The Bearcats held a lead of at least 30 points for the entire second half, and eclipsed the 100-point mark in the final seconds of the game on a Tom Weremeychik layup.
 
For Saint Vincent, Howard finished with a career-high 24 points, three steals and 3 assists. The effort came just three days after his previous career high (23), against Washington & Jefferson. 
 
Turner, Stith, and Klimchock were also in double figures with 23, 12, and 11 while Stith had 10 rebounds and two blocks.  Weremeychik and Kett each added 9 rebounds.
 
With the win, SVC improves to 17-2 (10-0, PAC) and looks to remain undefeated on Wednesday when they travel to take on Thiel. Tipoff is set for 7:30.
