CAL U FOOTBALL
On May 19, 1992, Dr. Angelo Armenti, Jr. was appointed by the Board of Governors of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education as the sixth president of California University of Pennsylvania. He holds a B.S. degree in Physics from Villanova University, an MA and Ph.D. degrees from Temple University in special and general relativity, respectively. He had a distinguished 20-year career at Villanova University prior to becoming president of California University. At Villanova he served as professor of physics, chair of the department of physics, Dean of University College, and Director of Planning. In addition to scholarly publications in international journals, Dr. Armenti received the Lindback Foundation Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1978, and was named an American Council on Education (ACE) Fellow in 1992, one of only thirty-two individuals selected nationally for this recognition. His book, The Physics of Sports, commissioned by the American Institute of Physics, remains in print since its initial publication in 1992. Since Dr. Armenti’s arrival at California University in 1992, applications have increased by 90%; average SAT scores have increased by 95 points; FTE enrollments have increased by 30%; and four-year graduation rates have increased by 80%. Many new academic programs have been initiated including: Master of Social Work (MSW); Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT); Master of Science in Multi-Media Technology; Physical Therapy Assistant; Sports Management; Graphic Design, Computer Engineering Technology, Criminal Justice, and Legal Studies. Other University accomplishments since his arrival as president include: creation of an Athletic Hall of Fame; three National championship teams (two in women’s softball and one in women’s basketball); a successfully completed $13 million (first ever) capital campaign; a new five-year capital campaign that is currently on schedule to reach its $35 million goal; a twenty-fold increase in endowment funds; the adoption by the University of the core values of Integrity, Civility, and Responsibility; the adoption of a University Bill of Rights and Responsibilities; the creation of the University Forum, a new governance structure; the adoption of a new general education curriculum; the building of the Eberly Science and Technology Center, the Kara Alumni House, the Duda Classroom Building and six modern new residence halls; the renovation/ expansion of numerous other buildings on campus; and the creation of major off-campus sites at Southpointe and at the Regional Enterprise Tower in downtown Pittsburgh. Dr. Armenti has been active with the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, and has served as Campaign Chair and President of the Mon Valley United Way. He is married to the former Barbara Malinowski and, together, they have five grown children and nine grandchildren. His hobbies include piano, photography President and Mrs. Armenti and sailing.
W
elcome to California University of Pennsylvania and another exciting season of Vulcan football. I am confident that Coach John Luckhardt, his staff and the players will continue to build upon the football tradition and make this a year to remember. This was a year of remarkable achievements at Cal U. In the past 12 months our academic offerings have been strengthened and expanded. Our beautiful campus continues to evolve, and our enrollment continues to grow. Our athletic teams have won statewide and regional titles and won our first Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference’s (PSAC) Dixon Trophy for 2008-09. The Dixon Trophy is emblematic of athletic supremacy in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference—the PSAC, the premier Division II athletic conference in America today. We are very proud of our student-athletes, coaches and many individuals behind the scenes who are responsible for this magnificent accomplishment. I am particularly proud of our student-athletes who perform well not only on the field of play, but also in the classroom. During the 2008-09 academic year, a total of 167 California University of Pennsylvania student athletes, representing all sports, were named to the Spring 2009 edition of the Vulcan Athletic Director Honor Roll. For the sixthstraight semester, the Cal U athletic programs compiled a cumulative grade-point average of 3.00 or higher. Our athletes have put in hundreds of hours of practice, and their hard work and dedication make them winners regardless of the score. The same can be said of the coaching staff, whose devotion to their sport and their players is an inspiration. The mission of Cal U is to build character and build careers. While the formal part of the education occurs in classrooms, laboratories, and internship sites, the other part of a college education takes place in residence halls, the Natali Student Union and in various sport venues, such as Adamson Stadium. Football and our other athletic programs provide students with an experience that helps them to learn and to grow in ways that will benefit them the rest of their lives. Teamwork is important not only on the field, but in the boardroom, the operating room and in the classroom. Many of our alumni who were student-athletes during their time here have distinguished themselves in endeavors far removed from their sport, but they have carried with them the important life lessons they have learned on the field and from their coaches, their teammates, and even their opponents. I hope that you enjoy the 2009 season and that you will support all of these young athletes enthusiastically.

CAL U FOOTBALL
O
ver the past eight years, the Vulcans have transformed themselves from a mediocre team with a strong football past into one of the true perennial powers in NCAA Division II. Over the last four years, Cal U has claimed a share of four-straight PSAC West titles, a PSAC Championship title and most impressively advanced to the NCAA Semifinals in each of the last two seasons. Under eighth-year head coach John Luckhardt, the Vulcans have won 25 of their last 27 games entering the 2009 campaign and return an impressive 19 starters. The challenge this year is to continue the tradition of excellence established at Cal U and take the next step on the national stage. Cal U returns seven starters on offense, including the entire offensive line, from last year’s squad that averaged 35.6 points and 429.4 yards of total offense per game. First-year offensive coordinator Mike T. Jacobs brings nearly 30 seasons of college coaching experience to the program. Cal U has increased its depth at every position on offense and added several playmakers at the skill positions to give the Vulcans perhaps their most explosive offense in school history.
QUARTERBACKS For a second-straight year, the Vulcans will enter the season with a talented newcomer at quarterback as Josh Portis enters training camp as the projected starter. Portis was highly touted out of high school and played at the NCAA Division I level. As a true freshman in 2005, he played sparingly for Florida in six games as a reserve before transferring to Maryland prior to the Gators’ bowl game. After not playing in 2006 and 2007, Portis played limited time in eight games last year for the Terps. Portis was among the premier dual-threat quarterbacks coming out of high school, as he combined for 49 touchdowns as a senior. Scott Wallace, a transfer from Massachusetts, could see time at quarterback this year and is more of a traditional quarterback with the ability to run. Ryan Morris, the only returning quarterback on the roster, along with talented freshmen Carrington Hanna and Erik Olson provide depth to the position.
RUNNING BACKS Despite the loss of two All-PSAC West running backs, the Vulcans still feature a plethora of talent in the backfield with two experienced returners mixed with three newcomers. After two seasons of seeing spot duty, Windell Brown enters training camp as the starting running back. In his career, he has totaled 969 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on less than 150 carries. Brown will once again be joined in the backfield by senior Freddie Bacco. Bacco accounted for a career-best 376 yards and six scores last year. Cal U also features three talented transfers who will make an impact in their first year with the program. Sophomore Dane Conwell returns to the offensive side of the ball after playing linebacker in the Big Ten last year at Indiana University. Junior Cody Wilson also provides tremendous depth to the position. Given their versatility, Conwell and Wilson could also serve as fullbacks throughout the season.
WIDE RECEIVERS Despite the loss of a record-setting receiver, the Vulcans feature more depth and speed at wide receiver this year. Senior A. J. Jackson, an All-PSAC West First Team selection in 2008, returns after posting 43 receptions for 706 yards and 10 scores. Joining Jackson as returners at receiver will be sophomores Chedrick Cherry, Josh Gumbert and Tim Picard. Cal U also added two transfers this season that have legitimate play-making ability. Dominique Curry comes to Cal U after being a twosport star – football and basketball – at Cheyney University. A 1,000-point scorer on the hardwood, Curry led the Wolves in receiving in each of his three seasons with the team and was the PSAC East Rookie of the Year in 2005. Junior college transfer Terrance Moore brings exceptional speed to the Vulcans.
TIGHT ENDS Last year, Cal U featured a pair of talented dual-threat tight ends, but graduation and injuries have forced the coaching staff to make adjustments. Given his 6-6, 255-pound frame and depth at receiver, Jackson could make a transition to tight end in 2009. Redshirt freshman Chet Welc made the move from the defensive line to tight end during spring camp and possess excellent hands. Fellow redshirt freshman Blake Williamson and juniors Richard Eberlein and Shawn Johnson, a former fullback, will also see time at tight end this season.
OFFENSIVE LINE The Vulcans return all five starters on the offensive line in left tackle Cha’Mar Jones, left guard Dan Jordan, center Nick Piccirillo, right guard Matt Scheuer and right tackle Nate Nurse. Nurse, a preseason All-American, has played in all 28 games during his career. Jones started all 14 games at left tackle last year after missing the 2007 campaign with a knee injury. Jordan started all but one game a year ago and was honored for his work both on the gridiron and in the classroom. Piccirillo has started 21 games at center over the last two years and is the leader of the unit. Scheuer was impressive in his first year as a starter, appearing in the starting line-up in all 14 games. Cal U also features tremendous depth up front this season. Junior Jack Range had a great spring camp and will challenge for playing time at the tackle positions. Transfer Mike Kush was a heavily recruited player among PSAC schools and will see action at the guard spots. After redshirting last year, Devin Cox is a versatile lineman who can play both sides of the ball. Sophomore Eric Kush and junior Robert Eberlein both gained experience last year and provide solid depth. The recruiting class also features some freshmen who could see rotational time along the offensive line.
2009 CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA FOOTBALL GUIDE
ulcans V 2009 SEASON PREVIEW - DEFENSE CAL U FOOTBALL
DEFENSIVE LINE
The back line of the defense for the Vulcans will have a different look this season, as both safety positions could feature new starters. Erik Harris, who started on special teams last year, will challenge for the starting position at strong safety in training camp. Also in the mix for time at strong safety is transfer Rontez Miles. Following the graduation of Juan Butler, senior Josh Menendez brings experience to free safety while sophomore Shawn Anderson moved to the position during the spring to help provide quality depth.
SPECIAL TEAMS
HISTORY
2005 • 2006 • 2007 • 2008 PSAC WEST CHAMPIONS
2008 REVIEW
The special teams will have a familiar look for Cal U in 2009 as all of its specialists return from last year. All-PSAC West punter Derek Fiorenza ranked second in the league in punting average. He showed tremendous accuracy on his punts last year as over half of them were downed inside the opponents’ 20-yard line. Fiorenza and junior Kevin Hagerman split the kicking duties last year with Hagerman finishing the season as the team’s primary kicker. He finished the year making 30-of-33 PAT attempts and four-of-five field goals. Cal U features increased depth in the kicking game with the addition of transfer Mark Domonkos. Long-snapper Geoff Lyons and holder Tony Battaglini also return in 2009 while Scott Wallace is another option at holder. The Vulcans feature quality return specialists in Freddie Bacco (kickoff) and Josh Gumbert (punt). Bacco earned All-PSAC West honors after handling kickoff return duties for the first time in his college career, while Gumbert showed keen awareness when handling punts. Cal U also features talented depth at return specialists as several other players gained experience last year.
PLAYERS
Cal U returns several experienced linebackers – Dontey Brown, Brett Diamond and Matt McClellan – in 2009. As a true freshman, Diamond played in 13 games and started the final eight games of the season at inside linebacker. He made 37 of his 43 tackles in the last eight games. In his first season as a Vulcan, Brown registered 43 stops after transferring from Penn State. McClellan ranked fifth on the team in tackles with 46 stops in his first year as a starter. With the development of sophomores Terrance Hemsley and James Lipsey, McClellan will be moving to the inside this year. Hemsley had spot starting duty last year and finished with 18 tackles and 3.5 tackles for loss. Meanwhile, Lipsey played in 11 games last season as a true freshman. Redshirt freshman Shawn Patil and transfer Anthony Roberts showed outstanding promise during spring camp and will see significant time this season. The Vulcans will also feature added depth on the outside, as junior Brandon Livsey is making the shift to linebacker after starting at strong safety last year.
SAFETIES
COACHING STAFF
LINEBACKERS
The Cal U defense will also be experienced at the cornerback position, as both starters return from last year. Preseason All-American Terrence Johnson returns at cornerback and is one of the top playmakers on defense in the country. Throughout his career, he has proven to be an elite shut-down cornerback and has totaled 13 career interceptions. Junior Patrick Swearinger will start opposite of Johnson again this season. Swearinger showed the knack for the big play last year as all three of his interceptions came against nationallyranked opponents, including two in the fourth quarter. Senior Trey Allen returns to provide veteran depth to the position. The program also added pair of Division I transfers in Mike Brown from Virginia and Derek Bailey from Syracuse.
2009 PREVIEW
The Vulcans return all three starters up front, highlighted by Walker – a three-time All-PSAC West selection. One of the true team leaders, Walker ranked third on the team and tied his career high with 50 tackles last year. Opposite Walker, senior Brandon Gordon led the team with 8.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks last year in his first season as a starter. In the middle, junior Sam Fikaris returns after starting all 28 games in his career. The defensive front will feature a different look this year as junior Gabe Hernandez moves to unit as a rush linebacker. Playing limited action, Hernandez ranked among the team leaders with 7.0 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks. Cal U will feature quality depth on the line as several reserves from last year also return in 2009. Sophomore Thomas Mulabah and junior Ryan Keebler will see significant time at the ends. Mulabah made an impressive 7.5 tackles for loss in limited action last year, while Keebler made the transition to defense from tight end in the spring. Sophomore Marcus Cook figures to see extended time this season after having a strong spring camp. Steve Santia provides experienced depth in the middle after playing all 14 games last year as a redshirt freshman.
CORNERBACKS
ABOUT CAL U
T
wo years removed from leading NCAA Division II in three major defensive categories, the Vulcans return eight starters on defense, including All-American cornerback Terrence Johnson as well as a Gene Upshaw Award Finalist in defensive end Willie Walker. This year, the Cal U defense will feature more speed throughout the unit following the development of several younger players.

CAL U FOOTBALL
John Luckhardt has established a winning tradition in his seven seasons as head coach at Cal U. He has guided the Vulcans to back-to-back NCAA Division II Semifinal appearances and consecutive ECAC Lambert Trophies, which are awarded annually to the top team in Eastern college football. Luckhardt enters his eighth season as the winningest head coach in program history with a 57-24 record (.704) in seven years at the helm of the program. For his efforts last season, he was named the NCAA Division II Regional Coach of the Year for a second-straight season. Last year marked the Vulcans’ fourth-straight PSAC West title – the longest streak in school history. Behind 17 All-PSAC West selections, Cal U claimed the PSAC Championship to earn a berth in the NCAA Playoffs for the second-straight year and advanced to the semifinals before losing to the eventual national champions. Luckhardt is no stranger to building a powerhouse program in Southwest Pennsylvania. Prior to his time at Cal U, he served as head coach at Washington & Jefferson College, a NCAA Division III program in nearby Washington, Pa. During his 17 seasons as head coach, he compiled a 137-37-2 record and guided the Presidents to 13 Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) titles, 11 appearances in the NCAA Division III Playoffs, five regional championships and two appearances in the Stagg Bowl, the Division III Championship Game.
John Luckhardt Head Coach
John Luckhardt is the winningest coach in program history with a 57-23 overall record (.704).
In addition to coaching at W&J, Luckhardt served as Athletics Director for 12 years from 1986 to 1998. After stepping down as head coach in 1998, he served as the Director of Special Projects from 1998 to 2000. Luckhardt received the American Football Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998 before being inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 2001. In 2007, he was a member of the ninth Athletic Hall of Fame Class at W&J, where he still holds the school record for most career wins at 137. From 1994 to 1998, he served on the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Board of Directors. In 1992, Luckhardt earned AFCA/Kodak National Coach of the Year honors after guiding W&J to the school’s first-ever national championship game. Two years later, he earned Division III Coach of the Year laurels from CNN after again advancing the Presidents to the Stagg Bowl. Luckhardt has been involved in a total of six NCAA championships as both a player and coach. He started his coaching career at Division I Purdue University, his alma mater, as a graduate assistant. He also coached the secondary and receivers for three years at Northern Illinois University, another Division I program. Luckhardt then spent 10 seasons at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa., serving as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. During his tenure, the Mountain Hawks compiled a 75-25-3 record and won the 1977 NCAA Division II Championship. As a player, Luckhardt was a center on the Boilermakers’ 1967 Rose Bowl team that defeated USC in Pasadena, Calif. He graduated from Purdue with an undergraduate degree in health and physical education before earning his master’s degree in physical education/psychology in 1970.

The Ohio native started his coaching career in 1972 at the scholastic level before spending two seasons at Bowling Green State University as the offensive line and head junior varsity coach. He then spent two years as the offensive line coach at Ashland University (Ohio) before making a one-year stint at Toledo in 1979 as the offensive line coach. Throughout his coaching career, Jacobs has coached in 13 Division I bowl games, including three Sugar Bowls, one Rose Bowl and one Fiesta Bowl.

The 2009 season marks Conway’s eighth season with Cal U. In his seven years with the team, the Vulcans have ranked among the Top 25 nationally in total defense three times. Last year, the Vulcans featured five new starters and the secondary developed into one of the better groups in the nation. Cal U allowed only 161.5 passing yards per game and allowed less than 21 points per game in 2008. During the 2007 campaign, he guided the No. 1-ranked defense in NCAA Division II, as the unit yielded just 207.6 total yards per game. That year, Cal U limited opponents to just 55.9 rushing yards and 11.5 points per game, both marks led Division II. His extensive coaching background, includes a stint at two Division I programs as an assistant coach, a four-year tenure as a head coach in the NAIA, along with a coordinator position with current Cal U head coach John Luckhardt at Division III powerhouse Washington & Jefferson College. Conway started his coaching career in 1984, serving 10 years as the defensive coordinator for Luckhardt at W&J. During his tenure, the Presidents compiled a 98-8-1 record and made nine appearances in the NCAA Division III Playoffs, including two national championship contests. After his time at W&J, Conway served as the defensive line coach at Division I Purdue University in 1995.

Dave Cole Cornerbacks/ Recruiting Coordinator Dave Cole has made an impact in his five seasons as a coach with the Cal U football program. Cole also serves as the Vulcans’ recruiting coordinator. In each of the last four seasons, the Vulcan defensive backs have helped the team post 15 or more interceptions. In last season’s run to the NCAA Semifinals, Cole helped coach a secondary that featured two All-PSAC West First-Team selections and was headlined by All-American cornerback Terrence Johnson, who led the team with five interceptions. In 2007, the Vulcans ranked fifth in the country in pass efficiency defense and was among the national leaders with 18 interceptions. The success of the secondary in 2007 was preceded by backto-back seasons with 20 and 21 interceptions by the team in 2005 and 2006, respectively. Cole is a former four-year player and two-year starter for the Vulcans. He earned his bachelor’s degree in 2004 before finishing his master’s degree in geography and regional planning at Cal in 2006. A native of Cincinnati, Cole was a first-team league all-star and earned all-city honors as a defensive back at Winton Woods High School.
Mike R. Jacobs Defensive Line Mike R. Jacobs enters his second season on the Vulcans’ coaching staff working with the defensive linemen after spending three years with Division I Purdue University. In his first year with the Cal U program, he tutored two All-PSAC West selections including defensive end Willie Walker, who was a Gene Upshaw Award Finalist. While with the Boilermakers, Jacobs served as an offensive graduate assistant. He started his coaching career in 2002 as an offensive graduate assistant and coached the offensive linemen and long snappers at Eastern Michigan University, a member of the Mid-American Conference. In between his stops at EMU and Purdue, Jacobs spent the 2004 season as the offensive line coach at Wilmington College (Ohio), a Division III program. Jacobs was a two-year letterman as a center for Ohio State playing for both John Cooper and Jim Tressel. Following his senior season in 2001, he earned Academic All-Big Ten honors. He graduated from OSU in 2001 with a bachelor of science in education before completing his master’s degree in health and kinesiology at Purdue in 2008.
Mike Evans Offensive Line Mike Evans enters his seventh season as the offensive line coach on the Vulcans’ coaching staff. His offensive line units have ranked among the PSAC elite in recent years, while clearing lanes for some of the league’s top running backs. During last year’s 12-2 campaign, Evans coached a squad that allowed just 1.21 sacks per game and helped Cal U average 189.5 rushing yards per game. The Vulcans featured the same starting offensive line in 13 of the 14 games and featured three All-PSAC West performers. Over the last five seasons, the Cal U offensive line has surrendered only an average of 1.2 sacks per game, while rushing for 12,519 yards in only 59 games (212.2 yards per game). As a player, Evans was a three-year starter at tackle and guard at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pa., after transferring from the University of Akron. He was named an All-American by Don Hansen’s Football Gazette and as a senior he played in the Snow Bowl, a Division II all-star game. Evans earned a free-agent contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1998 before being invited to mini-camp by the New Orleans Saints the following year. After starting his coaching career at Berkshire High School in Burton, Ohio, Evans worked with Saginaw Valley State University in University Center, Mich., for four seasons prior to joining the Vulcan coaching staff.
Larry Wilson Receivers/ Special Teams Larry Wilson enters his fifth year at Cal U as the wide receivers coach and special teams coordinator and has coached several All-PSAC West receivers and specialists. Last year, he coached record-setting wide receiver Marcel Pestano, who broke a pair of 25-year old school marks for receptions and receiving yards en route to receiving All-America Honorable Mention laurels. Wilson also tutored one of the top special team units in the nation in 2008, as the Vulcans ranked third in Division II in both net punting and kickoff returns. Punter Derek Fiorenza earned all-region honors after ranking second in the league in punting average. Prior to his time with the Vulcans, Wilson was no stranger to the PSAC as he played three seasons at conference-rival Slippery Rock University. Wilson also brings head-coaching experience from the scholastic level as he served as the head coach at Frazier High School, where he was an all-state receiver, in nearby Perryopolis, Pa. He graduated from Slippery Rock in 1999 with a bachelor’s degree in sports management. Wilson is currently pursing a master’s degree in arts of teaching at Cal U.

Baker, a former two-year starter at tight end at Cal U, has been a part of four-straight PSAC West championship teams. Last season, he coached AllPSAC West First-Team tight end Cory Garver who finished fourth on the team in both receptions and receiving yards, setting career highs in both categories. As a player in 2006, Baker earned All-PSAC West Second Team laurels after catching two touchdowns and serving as a blocker for former All-American running back Antoine Bagwell. Prior to attending Cal U, Baker earned two letters at Division I Bowling Green State University. In his two years at Bowling Green, the Falcons compiled a 17-6 record under head coach Urban Meyer, who eventually won the 2006 and 2008 National Championship at the University of Florida.

In the season-opener, the No. 5 Vulcans debuted an explosive passing attack that would set several records throughout the season. Quarterback Kevin McCabe connected with wide receiver Marcel Pestano – both Division I transfers – for a pair of touchdowns in a 44-32 victory over No. 16 Marcel Pestano West Chester. McCabe completed 30-of-36 attempts for 297 yards with two touchdowns, while Pestano posted game-high totals of 11 receptions and 112 receiving yards. Cal U amassed a total of 517 yards of total offense against West Chester, including 220 yards on the ground. Senior running back Daine Williams led all players with 102 yards on 17 carries with two touchdowns, while classmate Brandon Lombardy finished with 93 yards on 17 attempts and one touchdown. With the Golden Rams leading 19-16 at halftime, the Vulcans seized control of the contest in the second half by scoring 21-straight points in the third quarter with three touchdowns. Senior defensive back Juan Butler paced the Cal U defensive unit with seven tackles (six solo) and a fumble recovery. The Vulcans forced three turnovers, including interceptions by starting cornerbacks Patrick Swearinger and Terrence Johnson.
After trailing by 14 points at halftime at No. 18 Bloomsburg, the Vulcans rallied to tie the contest at 14-14 before the Huskies scored 10-straight points en route to a 24-17 victory. With the constant rainfall, the play selection for both teams was shifted to the running game. Bloomsburg Juan Butler amassed 325 yards and two touchdowns on 55 carries in the game. Meanwhile, Cal U used a trio of running backs to finish the game with 196 rushing yards and one touchdown on 41 attempts. Senior running back Daine Williams paced the Vulcan ground game with 90 yards, while sophomore Windell Brown finished with 73 yards. The Huskies took a 14-0 lead into halftime before the Vulcans tied the game on two explosive offensive plays - a 49-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Kevin McCabe to wide receiver Marcel Pestano and 38-yard touchdown run by Brown. Bloomsburg then scored 10-straight points, including a gamechanging 52-yard interception return for touchdown. Senior linebacker Jake Howell made seven stops (six solo), while senior defensive back Juan Butler finished with six tackles, 1.0 TFL and one fumble recovery.

The No. 7 Vulcans secured their position in the NCAA Playoffs for a second-straight year with a 47-36 victory over No. 17 West Chester in the PSAC Championship Game, which was played for the first time since 1987. In the victory, quarterback Kevin McCabe set a single-game school reTerrence Johnson cord with 443 passing yards. He completed 25-of-34 attempts for 443 yards with four touchdowns and one interception. McCabe completed passes to six different receivers and was selected the PSAC Championship Game MVP. The Vulcans featured a pair of 100-yard receivers in Marcel Pestano and A.J. Jackson. Pestano finished the game with 170 yards and three touchdowns on a game-high 11 catches. Jackson set a career high with 193 receiving yards and a touchdown on six receptions. The match-up between the two nationally-ranked programs featured over 1,000 yards of combined total offense (Cal U – 640, West Chester – 440). The 73 combined points ranks as the secondhighest total in the history of the “State Game,” which was played from 1960-87 before PSAC membership determined to place more emphasis on access into the playoffs, resulting in divisional titles. Defensive backs Terrence Johnson tied for the team lead with four tackles and registered his fifth interception of the season.
Behind a stellar defensive performance and a quick-strike offense, the No. 7 Vulcans registered a 48-7 victory over Seton Hill in the second round of the NCAA Playoffs.

Against the Griffins, he completed 19-of-24 with no interceptions after sitting out the majority of the fourth quarter. In the victory, wide receiver Marcel Pestano registered seven receptions for 140 yards and two touchdowns and became the first receiver in recent program history to surpass the 1,000-yardmark in a season. With the victory, head coach John Luckhardt set a school record with 56 career wins. During his tenure, the Vulcans have won four-consecutive PSAC West titles and advanced to the NCAA Playoffs in two-straight seasons. The Cal U defense limited Seton Hill to only 211 yards of total offense. The Vulcans registered five sacks and allowed the Griffins to convert only 2-of-13 third-down attempts. Defensively, linebackers Matt McClellan and Gabe Hernandez recorded a team-high seven tackles. McClellan added 1.5 TFL with 1.0 sack, while Hernandez collected 2.0 TFL.

Senior running back Daine Williams eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the second-straight season, rushing for a game-high 145 yards and one touchdown on 27 carries. Quarterback Kevin McCabe finished the game with 184 passing yards and three touchdowns on 22-of-29 attempts. He became the first player in school history to pass for 3,000 yards in a season and 30-plus touchdowns. Defensively, junior Willie Walker led the Vulcans with eight tackles (seven solo) and 1.0 TFL. Senior safety Juan Butler added seven stops, while Johnson finished with six tackles and a fumble recovery.
For the second-straight year, the No. 7 Vulcans lost in the NCAA Semifinals to the eventual national champions as Cal U lost 45-7 to No. 6 Minnesota Duluth. In the loss, the Vulcans committed four turnovers (three interceptions, Championship Program one fumble) and ran for a season-low 56 yards against the Bulldogs. The UMD defense also allowed Cal U to convert only 2-of-13 third-down attempts. Cal U moved the ball on the opening drive of the game before UMD registered an interception in the red zone, halting the Vulcans’ most productive drive of the first half. For the game, quarterback Kevin McCabe completed 17-of-36 attempts for 171 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions against the Bulldogs. The Vulcans avoided the shutout with a six-yard pass from McCabe to wide receiver A.J. Jackson late in the third quarter. Juniors Brandon Gordon and Matt McClellan each led the Vulcans with a career-high nine tackles. The trio of senior free safety Juan Butler, strong safety Brandon Livsey and sophomore linebacker Brett Diamond each finished with six stops.

O
riginating in 1951 to administer and promote men’s athletics, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference has evolved into one of the NCAA’s most heralded intercollegiate conferences. The first major step came in 1977, when based on a growing interest, the league reorganized to provide a structure for its women’s programs. Only three years later, lacking a standard competitive division, league voted to reclassify the entire conference to NCAA Division II. All of the league’s full-time members are located within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which makes the PSAC the largest one-state conference in the NCAA. The league has also grown to share the distinctions as: The largest conference in Division II, the largest football-playing conference in the NCAA, and, with 23, the conference that sponsors the most championships at the Division II level. Highly competitive on a regional and national level, PSAC schools annually combine to send nearly one-third of its teams into NCAA postseason play. Ultimately, the membership’s success has yielded 42 NCAA team and 228 individual title winners. While proud of its athletic accomplishments, the league also has evolved into one of Division II’s finest from an academic standpoint. Today, nearly one-third of the PSAC’s estimated 6,200 participants are honored each year as “Scholar-Athletes” for maintaining a grade-point average of 3.25 or better - a total that has nearly doubled since PSAC Scholar-Athletes were first recognized in the mid-1990s. Although all 16 current institutions are members of Division II, eight league schools also compete at the Division I level in select sports. PSAC schools enroll over 118,000 students and claim over 670,000 alumni, including 430,000 who reside in Pennsylvania.
Terrance Hemsley set a season-high five tackles against Bloomsburg last season.

ulcans V PSAC WEST FOOTBALL CAL U FOOTBALL
With a 47-36 victory over West Chester University at Adamson Stadium, the Vulcans won the PSAC Championship game. Unable to truly crown one conference champion in football since 1987, the league once again gave its divisional rivals the opportunity to “settle it on the field.” The 2008 season marked the 75th year since PSAC Football Champions had been crowned, dating back to 1934 when a group of sportswriters recognized champions among Pennsylvania’s State Teachers Colleges. Since then, a variety of methods had determined league champions.
The “State Game” was played until 1987 when membership determined to place more emphasis on access into the NCAA Playoffs since 1988, only divisional champions had been awarded.

2009 PREVIEW
In 1950, college representatives decided to employ the Saylor Points System. That practice gave way to the “State Game” beginning in 1960, when league administrators agreed an end-of-the-season contest between the Eastern and Western Division Champions would be played to decide conference supremacy.
