The points are down but winning is up for the Westminster men's basketball team, which is higher in the Presidents' Athletic Conference than expected at the halfway point of the season.

That's not to say the Titans (11-6, 4-1 PAC) have scrapped all their old ways. They've just tweaked things and are running and gunning in a more controlled fashion.

	Last Week Revisited Highlights and accomplishments of individuals and teams in district colleges last week: California's Megan Timpf, a senior shortstop from Port Dover, Ontario, was selected to the 17-player team that will represent Canada at the 2007 Pan American Games July 22-30 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the 2007 World University Games Aug. 8-18 in Bangkok, Thailand. She batted .331 with 22 RBIs this past season. Former California All-American running back Antoine Bagwell signed as a free agent with the Philadelphia Eagles. Bagwell, who rushed for 3,553 yards and 41 touchdowns as a junior and senior, was released as a rookie free agent with the St. Louis Rams last year. Pitt-Greensburg forward Rashad Davison, a sophomore from Washington High School, is men's basketball player of the week in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference. He averaged 23.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.3 steals in three games. Duquesne forward Loui Hall, a senior from Albert Gallatin, is co-women's player of the week in the Atlantic 10. She averaged 20.0 points and 10 rebounds and shot 69 percent from the field in two games. The Gannon women's basketball team moved into first place with an 8-1 record in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference with a 69-60 victory against 13th-ranked Grand Valley State, which is the defending NCAA Division II national champion. Gannon's Casey England, who had 15 points, is GLIAC women's basketball player of the week.

"This is pretty much the way I envisioned we would play when I first took over," coach Larry Ondako said. "We're not running people in and out like we used to; there's a substitution pattern. This is a more conventional way of coaching. It took us a couple years to get to this."

Ondako installed a frantic full-court pressure defense and a shoot 'em-up offense that fired 3-pointers at the drop of a basketball when the Titans were 2-8 in 2003-04. They averaged 99.8 points the rest of the way and shocked everyone by going 15-13 and winning the regular-season title.

Westminster averaged 108.9 points and allowed 107.1 while going 15-11 in 2004-05, and 102 and 105.1 with an 11-16 record last season.

"We scaled things back," said Ondako, whose Titans score a league-high 88.9 points per game and give up 86.4. "We have 95 possessions a game now compared to 115-120 two or three years ago. We wanted to take a bunch of threes and play as fast as we could. We're back to a little more regular basketball."

One of the big reasons for the change in style is the development of 6-foot-8 Steve Bielich (12.2 ppg, 4.8 rpg), a sophomore from Bethel Park whose career has been hampered by a bad knee.

"A lot of why we're playing this way has to do with Bielich because we want to get him more involved and keep him on the court more," Ondako said. "When we were running and pressing all over the place, kids had to come out a lot. We need to keep Steve on the court for 28-30 minutes. When he's getting tired, we drop back and play a little bit of zone to give him a rest."

Westminster's top scorers are Hopewell's Greg Rosatelli (14.1 ppg), Union's Craig Hannon (13.1 ppg), New Castle's Dom Joseph (12.8 ppg) and Nick Adams (12.3 ppg). Upper St. Clair's Ryne Murray (12.8 ppg, 8.1 rpg), a freshman forward, is academically ineligible the second semester.

Joseph returned to the team this season after sitting out last year with a heart condition.

The Titans, who started the season with three consecutive losses and four of five, have won six of their past seven and are coming off a surprising 96-82 victory at two-time defending PAC champion Bethany. What made that win so unexpected was the fact the Titans had just lost at home to Grove City, 101-91.

"There's not much difference between the top of our conference and the bottom," Ondako said. "We had only four turnovers, but took 15 really bad shots against Grove City. We played well against Bethany."

He added, "If someone had said we'd go 1-1 in those two games before the week, I would have said we'd do it the other way."

Despite losing the Drahos twins, Matt and Mike, who were the heart and soul of the team, Bethany (12-5, 5-1) still is in first place in the conference.

Westminster turned its fortune around against Bethany after making just 12 of 41 shots from beyond the arc against Grove City.

The Titans were 16 of 29 against Bethany, which explains why they ended the Bison's 29-game conference win streak that was the longest in the PAC and ninth-longest all time in NCAA Division III.

Rosatelli led the way with a career-high 23 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 steals. He was named PAC men's basketball player of the week.

"At different times all season a different kid has stepped up big for us," said Ondako, who has started all 12 players on the roster at least once. "I don't think you can ever have too many shooters."
