For the 17th consecutive time, the No. 24 West Chester University Golden Rams (7-2, 6-0 PSAC East) manhandled the Cheyney University Wolves (0-9, 0-6 PSAC East) en route to a 60-6 victory on a rain soaked afternoon at Farrell Stadium.
The win marked the sixth consecutive victory for West Chester since their last loss against Delaware in the middle of September.
With this victory, Head Coach Bill Zwaan moved into third place for most wins in school history by a head coach.
"I have great kids, great staff," Zwaan said. "You never get wins by yourself. There are a lot of people that are involved in that. I'm proud of it and I'm excited about it but there's a lot of guys who have helped me get there."
In the last regular season home game for this year's senior class, West Chester performed well in all facets of the game.
"We just came out, tried to execute, get what we had to get done in the first half, put some points on the board and get everybody else in the game," senior Mike Washington said.
"It started out with coach telling me thanks for the five years," senior center Kennis Jones said. "It's kind of very emotional and now to feel that it's almost over. I came in with all these guys; they are all brothers to me and we all stick together. We all stuck together and stuck it out."
"They've done a lot and hopefully they are going to still do more," Zwaan said about the seniors. "They have a couple of big things ahead of them."
After a Cheyney first down, Wolves punter Anthony Kelly setup to punt. West Chester redshirt freshman linebacker Will Davis busted through the Cheyney wedge and tipped the punt which forced it to travel only 21 yards.
West Chester's offense opened the game with good field position and wasted little time putting points on the board. After trying to force a couple of passes to star receiver Mike Washington, junior quarterback Joe Wright began hitting the check downs.
Wright completed a first down pass to running back Jackson Fagan. Wright followed that up with a 30-yard catch and run to senior fullback Pat McDermott. Finally, Wright found tight end Ryan Paulson who was forced out of bounds at the 1-yard line to setup the first touchdown of the game. Fagan took the handoff from Wright and plowed into the end zone to give the Golden Rams the early lead.
