West Chester University Strike Forces 42-14 Victory Over Millersville

The West Chester University Golden Rams made a statement in their conference opener against the Millersville Marauders, coming away with a dominant 42-14 victory on the road. The game was marked by strong defense and timely offense, as the Golden Rams scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to put the contest out of reach.

Jalen Jackson's 24-yard touchdown catch with just under six minutes remaining proved to be the backbreaker for Millersville, giving West Chester a commanding lead that they would not relinquish. Earlier in the quarter, quarterback Desman Jackson had scurried 30 yards to extend the Golden Rams' advantage to 21 points.

Despite trailing by only two scores heading into the final quarter, Millersville was unable to mount a significant comeback attempt. The Marauders struggled against West Chester's aggressive defense, which registered eight sacks and two quarterback hurries throughout the game.

Individually, several Golden Rams players turned in impressive performances. Quarterback Shane Dooley completed 9 of 22 passes for 181 yards and three touchdowns, while Phil Poquie rushed for 101 yards and a score. Seth Degree caught three passes for 84 yards and a touchdown, including a 40-yard strike from Dooley.

West Chester's victory improved their overall record to 3-1 and marked their first win in conference play this season. The Golden Rams will look to build on this momentum as they face off against other PSAC opponents in the coming weeks.
