SHIPPENSBURG GRIDDERS UPEND LOCK HAVEN BALD EAGLES (Lock Haven, Pa.) ~ The Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania Red Raiders (7-2, 3-1) defeated the Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania Bald Eagles (2-7, 0-4) by a final margin of 68-7 in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Western Division matchup.The Red Raiders took Hubert Jack Stadium by storm, firing back for 68 points, including a stunning eight successive drives for touchdowns, after The Haven jumped onto the scoreboard early to take its only lead of the game at 7-0. The Bald Eagles came out to open the game spirited, stopping Shippensburg's first drive at the Red Raider's 20-yardline. On the ensuing drive, Lock Haven worked its way up the field, and quarterback Ed Galiczynski opted for the four-yard sneak into the endzone for the score. Matt Mapes made good on the point after to give The Haven a 7-0 advantage. But that was where the good fortune of the Bald Eagles stopped short, as Shippensburg would answer with 68 straight points, 54 marks on eight consecutive drives from the first through the third frames, to strangle the short-lived momentum. Red Raider fullback Jeremy Brubaker posted three touchdowns, two in the second quarter and one to wrap up the game in the fourth, on runs of four, five, and two-yards, respectively. Shipp signal caller Chris Gicking recorded three touchdown passes, completing ariels to Mike Erlandson (33-yds), Melvin Scott (28-yds), and Jamie Ware (48-yds). Before the close of the half, Haven turnovers ended three drives, including a Bald Eagle push to deep within Shippensburg territory to the 12-yardline, culminating in a fumble by Galiczynski. That dropped ball was picked up and returned for a touchdown (82-yard return) by Shipp defensive back Tony Green with just under six minutes remaining in the second quarter. Two more defensive plays led directly to Red Raider scores in the third stanza. Kareem Osborne picked off a pass from Ed Galiczynksi and carted the ball back 35-yards for the touchdown. Shippensburg turned over the ball on downs to the Bald Eagles on the next drive following a bad snap on a field goal attempt from 45-yards out. Lock Haven would get no reprieve though, as a fumble on the Haven punt return was recovered by Eric Ranieri, who recorded a 15-yard scamper into The Haven endzone for the ninth Shipp score of the afternoon. Brubaker closed out Shippensburg scoring just over eight minutes into the final frame, capping a seven play, 57-yard drive with a two-yard dash in for his third score of the contest. The balanced attack of the Red Raiders had three players with 40 yards or more rushing (Ryan Hartley-43 yards, Nathan Robinson-41 yards, 1 TD, Omar Gonzales-40 yards). Brubaker notched three touchdowns on 29-yards rushing. Quarterback Chris Gicking was 10-for-16 with three touchdowns and 238 yards. In the air, conference-leading receiver Jamie Ware posted 82 yards and one touchdown (48-yard pass from Gicking), and Mike Erlandson had 75 yards and one score. Defensive leaders for the Red Raiders include Josh Goodman, Jeff Hannum, and Joe Waslylk, all with seven tackles apiece. Waslylk also recorded one sack for minus six yards. Kareem Osborne tallied six tackles, including three for loss (-17 yards) and one interception with a 35-yard return for touchdown.

WEEK SEVEN
(Lock Haven, PA) ~ The Edinboro University of Pennsylvania Fighting Scots (3-4, 2-1 PSAC West) defeated the Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania Bald Eagles (1-6, 0-3 PSAC West) by the final margin of 38-7, extending their winning streak over The Haven to 18 straight games. Edinboro's junior tailback Bernard Henry did more than his fair share to give the Fighting Scots their third victory of the season, recording his fifth contest over the 100-yards rushing mark. Posting 133 yards on 14 carries, Henry crossed into the endzone twice on runs of 23 and 43 yards. Turnovers and a strong performance by the Fighting Scot defense held the Lock Haven offensive game in check, limiting the Bald Eagles to just 152 net yards (44 rushing, 108 passing), while EUP put up 418 yards of its own sparked by the performance of Henry. Edinboro posted 31 unanswered points through the first three quarters of the contest. Henry scored on a 23-yard scamper, and freshman kicker Sean McNicholas made good on a 27-yard field goal to get things rolling in the first stanza. Henry took charge once more in the second frame, dodging LHU defenders before making his way into the endzone for a 43-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, bringing the score at the half to 17-0. Edinboro tailback Stephane Lubin, recently moved over to offense after playing at cornerback, converted a six-yard run into a score to open the third quarter of action. On the following drive, redshirt-freshman signal caller Jack Davis found tight end Rob Barney open for an 11-yard touchdown pass. Late in the third frame, as the Bald Eagles attempted to punt the ball safely away from their endzone, a bad snap went out of the grasp of punter Jason Mummau, and bounced into the Lock Haven endzone, where EUP safety Chris Kane gained possession for the recovery and the score. For the Bald Eagles, short yardage gains limited them to minimal yardage gains in the third quarter, as they were unable to advance the ball into Fighting Scot territory. In the fourth quarter, The Haven rallied to end its opening drive with the only score of the day as quarterback Ed Galiczynski connected with Jason Kundtz for a 14-yard touchdown reception (Matt Mapes PAT good). That touchdown capped off a 15 play, 68-yard drive spanning 7:21 after numerous penalties on both sides of the ball. For the contest, Edinboro's Henry led all rushers with 133 yards (14 carries) and two touchdowns. Lubin posted 78 yards on the ground (11 carries), including his one touchdown. Quarterback Jack Davis closed out his second complete game of the season with 11-of-17 passing for 115 yards and one touchdown. Rob Barney led Boro receivers with 68 yards (six receptions) and one touchdown. Lock Haven was led by junior tailback Jamie Allen, who posted 81 yards (17 carries) on the run along with 11 receiving yards (two receptions). Galiczynski was 11-of-23 on the evening with 99 total yards and one touchdown. On the receiving end, Jason Kundtz recorded 58 yards on three receptions with one touchdown. Defensively, the Fighting Scots had a number of players posting big numbers, including linebacker Dave Holton with seven tackles (five unassisted), including two for loss (-22 yards) and a half-sack (-10 yards). End Shawn Harris tallied four tackles (four solo) with three sacks (-21 yards). Strong safety Lou Mitchell added three pass breakups to the win. For the Bald Eagles, linebacker Chris Hileman and free safety Ryan Matheson both notched eight tackles apiece, and Matheson added one pass breakup. Edinboro, now 3-4 overall and 2-1 in the PSAC Western Division, travel to California (Pa.) University next Saturday, October 23.

(LOCK HAVEN, PA) - No. 12-ranked Indiana University of Pennsylvania (3-1, 1-0 PSAC West) defeated Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania (1-4, 0-1 PSAC West) in a 27-9 battle in what was the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Western Division opener for both squads. IUP's rushing duo of Aamir Dew and Terrance Wilson, powered its way through the Lock Haven defense for 189 and 105-yards, respectively, to lead the squad. It was the third straight game the pair had each recorded over 100-yards, and Wilson's fourth game rushing over the century mark.

In the drawn-out battle lasting just under four hours, the Bald Eagles emerged with the win led by kicker Matt Mapes, quarterback Ed Galiczynski, and receiver Matt Kerstetter. Mapes set a new school record for field goals in a season, hitting three today (34, 38, 42-yards) to up his 1999 total to eight, surpassing Rich Marriott's seven in the 1989 campaign. Mapes also recorded six good extra-point attempts to post 15 of Lock Haven's 53 points. Galiczynski tallied three touchdown passes in the second quarter on three straight LHU drives. Kerstetter led all receivers with 171-yards on just four catches, including an 82-yarder for a touchdown from backup quarterback Brian Genis in the third quarter. For the game, the Cheyney Wolves actually outgained the Bald Eagles in both rushing and passing yardage, but fell victim to 12 penalties (-106 yards), putting a damper on their chances of converting. Lock Haven was also penalized, having to overcome seven penalties for an overall loss of 92 yards. Lock Haven set the tone of the game, getting on the scoreboard first with a 34-yard field goal by Matt Mapes. On Cheyney's ensuing drive, the Wolves were forced to punt, and a blocked kick by LHU's Jason Kundtz sent the ball into the Cheyney endzone to give the Bald Eagles two more points with the safety. The Wolves first got on the scoreboard after a Lock Haven fumble at the Cheyney 11-yardline led to a recovery by Glen Erby, who took the ball the distance of the field. Another LHU turnover on its next drive led directly to six more points and the 12-5 lead for the Wolves, as Andrew Horne recovered the loose ball in the Lock Haven endzone. That would be the only lead for the Wolves, as the Bald Eagles went on a 48-point run, including a 28-point second frame to seal the win. A Cheyney come-back attempt posted 14 points in the final six minutes of the ball game, but the effort was too little to make up the margin, as The Haven took the win, 53-26. Leading the Bald Eagles was quarterback Ed Galiczynski (155-yards, 18-9-0, 3 touchdowns) and receiver Matt Kerstetter, who hauled in a career best 171-yards on four receptions for two touchdowns. On the ground, Jamie Allen led LHU with 64-yards and two touchdowns, and Jason Mummau chipped in with 43-yards. Kicker Matt Mapes made good on three field goal attempts and six point after attempts. For Cheyney, quarterback Ameer Hayes posted a game high of 228-yards (38-22-3), and also recorded a one-yard touchdown run. The Wolves' receiving corps was led by Randolph Sanders (80-yards) and John Chestnut (79-yards, 1 TD). On the rush, Keynard Edouard led Cheyney with 95-yards. Defensively, The Haven unit, which posted six sacks, was led by Chad Koleno (7 tackles, FR, INT, 1 sack) and Pat Nixon (5 tackles, 2 TFL, 1.5 sacks). The Wolves defense was highlighted by play from Wes Settles (7 tackles, 2 TFL), and Glen Erby (5 tackles, 2 TFL, 1 FR). Lock Haven opens PSAC-West competition next week, hosting Indiana University of Pennsylvania on Saturday, October 2, at 7 p.m. Cheyney returns home to host California University of Pennsylvania on that same Saturday in a 1 p.m. contest. ### WEEK THREE

WEEK ONE
(LOCK HAVEN, PA -- The East Stroudsburg Warriors survived a dual to the end, outlasting the Lock Haven Bald Eagles for the final 28-24 margin in the Thursday evening contest at Hubert Jack Stadium in Lock Haven, PA. It was the season-opener for both squads. The Haven had the advantage in the statistics, putting up nearly 100-yards more than the visiting Warriors, notching 456-yards (249 rushing/207 passing) to ESU's 362-yards (142 rushing/220 passing). Senior wide receiver Jason Klush collected three scores for 18 of the Warriors' 28 points, including the game-winning nine-yard touchdown reception from QB Steve Bellosi with just 2:18 minutes left on the game clock. Lock Haven took the game's initial advantage, going up 6-0, as Jamie Allen crossed into the endzone on just the Bald Eagles' second play from scrimmage at 14:11. Allen accounted for half of LHU's points, also sneaking into the endzone for a score with 3:41 left in the second quarter. Allen accumulated 237-yards (151-yards rushing), enough to send him over the 1,000-yard career mark, now with 1,101 career rushing yards. It took East Stroudsburg until the second quarter to get on the board, however they did so in high fashion, as junior tailback Stewart Ford (95-yards rushing) notched a 10-yard run for a touchdown just under six minutes into the second period of play. With the score at 7-15 in favor of The Haven with 0:51 left before the half, Klush snagged a 40-yard pass from sophomore QB Jeremy Palm (201-yards passing) to tie the game going into the lockerrooms. Klush maintained his momentum after the half, as he was on the receiving end of another pass from Palm to give East Stroudsburg their first lead of the contest, 21-15. Lock Haven fought back with force, as junior kicker Matt Mapes was on target for three straight field goals from distances of 33, 42, and 30-yards to help the Bald Eagles regain the lead and go up 24-21 by the 10:11 mark in the final quarter. Mapes had also recorded a good kick from 39-yards in the first quarter, contributing the other half of the Haven's point total with 12 points. An East Stroudsburg fumble with 8:00 minutes remaining in the contest gave Lock Haven possession of the ball at its own 25-yard line. The tough coverage of the ESU defense stopped running back Allen from gaining any significant yardage. Combined with a penalty, the Warrior defense also kept the Bald Eagles from advancing past their own 23-yard line, and gave The Haven no decision but to punt. Alternating running plays saw Ford and senior tailback Andre Myers sharing duties to get the Warriors all the way to the LHU nine-yard line, setting up a completion from Steve Bellosi to Klush to take back the lead of the game, 28-24. The Lock Haven offense was unable to close the gap, advancing to the ESU 35-yardline before a pass from LHU quarterback Ed Galiczynski (207-yards passing) was intercepted by Warriors' senior safety Greg Bowman at 2:05 to seal the 28-24 victory for East Stroudsburg. ESU senior linebacker Kevin Nagle led the Warrior defense, gathering 11 tackles (11 solo) and one sack. On the other side of the field, Lock Haven's Joe Walker, a sophomore defensive end, posted big numbers as well, totaling seven tackles (seven solo), including four tackles for loss and a game-high three sacks.

Game 10 - vs. Clarion University Lock Haven opened up a 28-0 first-half lead and held off Clarion’s strong second-half charge to win 35-28 in a battle of Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Western Division teams. Lock Haven opened up a 14-point lead with 1:34 remaining as Jeremy Burkett caught a 34-yard pass from Ed Galiczynski, but Clarion mounted a furious comeback in the final 90 seconds. Clarion took just two plays and 28 seconds to respond as Chris Weibel hit Alvin Slaughter on passes of 29 and 51 yards, the latter resulting in a score. Trailing by seven, the Golden Eagles’ Phil Rayford then recovered the ensuing on-side kick at midfield with 1:04 on the clock. With Weibel hooking up with Slaughter on passes of 17 and 11 yards, and a 13 yard-catch by Jamie Sickeri, Clarion eventually gained a first and goal at the Lock Haven five with under 20 seconds remaining.

His score, which occurred at the 13:16 mark of the stanza, was set up by Hudak’s 35-yard run to the LHU three. The Mountaineers, however, suffered a costly turnover just under nine minutes left in the third when Lee Brannon fumbled deep in their own territory.

Game 7 - at Edinboro University Bald Eagles Plagued by Miscues - Drop Contest at Edinboro Untimely errors on LHU's part played a major factor, as Edinboro upended the Bald Eagles 37-15. Things looked good for Lock Haven in the early going, as it took a 7-0 lead on a 53-yard scamper by Jamie Allen. The possession, LHU's first of the afternoon, covered 95 yards in eight plays, marking the team's longest scoring drive of the season.

The fumble came as a result of a sack, one of eight on the day for the Scots. Allen's 45-yard return on the following kickoff gave the Bald Eagles starting position near midfield. Boosted primarily by Allen's bursts of 11 and 17 yards, LHU drove to the EU three-yard line, facing a fourth-and-goal situation. Disaster struck again, though, as LHU's errant snap from the shotgun formation resulted in a 15-yard loss and a change of possession. Following a EU miscue, LHU gained possession at the Edinboro nine. LHU took advantage, eventually scoring on a one-yard plunge by Allen. Jason Kundtz’s brilliant one-handed catch on the two-point conversion narrowed the gap to 30-15. The Bald Eagles, however, could not get any closer.
