WIDENER PRIDE
COACHING STAFF
Bill Shuey • Defensive Coordinator/Front Seven Bill Shuey is in his first year as Widener’s defensive coordinator and defensive front coach. Shuey worked the last two seasons as the linebackers coach for West Chester, serving under former Widener coach Bill Zwaan. He was responsible all responsibilities for the group ranging from warm-ups, drill periods and conditioning. Shuey also had a huge hand in helping the defensive coordinator with game plans, implementation, in-game adjustments and play calling. The Golden Rams last season amassed a 13-2 record that included three NCAA Tournament victories and a trip to the Division II semifinals. Arguably Shuey’s most high-profile run came with the Philadelphia Eagles, with whom he had various responsibilities from 2001-11. Shuey served from 2008-11 as the Eagles’ linebackers coach, meeting with the players on a daily basis and implementing everything from different schemes, identifying personnel, organizing substitutions, planning off-season responsibilities, evaluating rosters and working with the defensive coordinator. That run was highlighted by Philadelphia in the 2008 season advancing to the NFC Championship game at Arizona. With the Eagles loss in the NFC final, Shuey went with Andy Reid’s staff to Honolulu to coach in the Pro Bowl.

WIDENER PRIDE
2014 PREVIEW A new era has begun for Widener football. The 134th season will be like none other with Mike Kelly taking the reins as the program’s 24th coach. Sprinkle in the fact that many talented players are back in the fold and you have the recipe for what should be yet another successful campaign in Chester. The offense this year gets one last boost from the incomparable AllAmerica Anthony Davis, who has solidified his place among Widener’s elite athlete in its storied history. His speed, talent and athleticism set him apart and automatically make the Pride one of the nation’s elite heading into the campaign. The wide receiver/returner has been named preseason All-America for a third straight year, this time by Lindy’s Sports Magazine, the Sporting News, the Beyond Sports Network and D3Football.com. Last season, he was picked an All-America by BSN and D3Football.com, was the ECAC South and Middle Atlantic Conference Offensive Player of the Year as well as first team All-MAC for a third straight season. Davis enters this year fifth in team history with 35 touchdowns, second with 5,035 all-purpose yards, second with 31 touchdown receptions, second with 187 receptions, tied for fourth with 2,711 receiving yards, first with 67 kickoff returns and first with 1,515 kickoff return yards. He will get plenty of help on offense that begins with sophomore quarterback Seth Klein, who last season blossomed into a leader for the future. The MAC Rookie of the Year and ECAC South Offensive Rookie of the Year also was picked Honorable Mention All-MAC in a campaign that gave Widener plenty of hope for the future. Klein last year broke the school and MAC single-season record with 285 completions. He also set a new school record September 14 against Lebanon Valley with 40 completions. Sophomore Blaine Price looks to compete in more than the five games he played in a season ago in seeking a staring role at wide receiver. Senior Adam Marcucci and junior Eric Sharpe also will compete for time at wide receiver. Sophomores Michael O’Neill and Alex Krivda will battle for the role of Klein’s backup. Widener’s running game is not to be forgotten, especially with
2014 FOOTBALL
John DiBiase the play of senior Couve LaFate after he was picked second team allleague a season ago. The Pride’s leading rusher a second straight year ended with 537 yards on 96 carries and five touchdowns. He had a career-high 174 yards November 9 against King’s, including a 91-yard touchdown sprint for the program’s longest run in 41 years. Junior Robert Getz returns at fullback after amassing 137 all-purpose yards last year. Christopher Wickes looks for time at running back and fellow junior Myles Pressey will vie for a spot at fullback. The offensive line saw many depart following graduation, but talented players remain that include sophomore Stephen Domonoski at left tackle and junior Matt Donahue at right tackle. They are back to help an offense which last year was third in the country with a .733 completion percentage, 17th with 291.9 yards passing per game and second in the MAC with 439.7 yards of total offense per contest. Sophomores Jacob Jones and Shane Phillips also will compete for a spot at tackle. Sophomore Anthony Brooks and junior Zach Chatman are among those in position to gain a starting role at guard. Sophomore Trevor Bickel is coming back from injury to make a run at either guard spot. Christopher Howard has the inside track to gain the starting role at center. Senior Brian DiGiovanni last season competed in all 10 games at tight end and is back for what should be another solid year. Sophomore Haydn Warren will give him a run for the starting nod. Widener for many years has put forth a solid defense that is among the nation’s best. This defense was fourth in the MAC a season ago and will stick with the 4-3 alignment that has made it so successful in recent memory. One of the keys on the interior line is junior Shakore Philip, who is back at tackle after being named first team All-MAC and second team All-ECAC last season. A starter since midway through his freshman year, he ended tied for fifth on the team with 40 tackles last season with two sacks.

2014 PREVIEW Senior tackle John DiBiase was tabbed Honorable Mention allleague a season ago and also will be a factor. He ended the year with 30 tackles, 5 1/2 tackles for a loss and three sacks. Sophomores Frank Wendling and James Rendle also will vie for time at tackle. Junior Stacey Sunnerville was picked second team to give the line three players named all-conference. A starter since late in his freshman campaign, he has been a dominant player at end. Despite only playing seven games due to injury, he closed last year third in the MAC with nine sacks, tied for third with 12 1/2 tackles for a loss and seventh on the squad with 39 tackles.
Anthony Davis Senior Anthony Green certainly can make his way into the conversation this year among the top ends. Another gifted player who will be highly looked upon this year, the track & field star played in 10 games last season and ended with 24 tackles. Junior Brandon Jones and senior Tyler Glover, who each competed in all 10 games last season, also will see plenty of time at end. Senior Brandon Harper is back at weak-side linebacker where he was a force last season, ending tied for the team lead with 66 tackles. He creates match-up problems for many and that will continue to be a trend this season. Senior Kevin Burns played great at middle linebacker with 55 tackles over nine games. He is back once again to form what should be another dominating linebacking core. Sophomore Steve Gozur looks to have the edge at strongside linebacker and should play a lot more than the three games he was in last season. Emmanuel Fields, fellow junior Tyrone Bundy and sophomore Jacob Behornar also will be factors in this lineup and look for extended playing time. Replacing All-America safety Colin Masterson will be a challenge, but Widener is confident it has the answers.
10
Junior Drew Jemison saw action in seven contest last season and his 19 tackles should be surpassed this season at strong safety. Sophomore Sean Titus also is a standout player who played nine games last year and looks for the starting nod at free safety. Vaughn Nichols-Taylor and fellow junior Travon Barnes will get playing time this year at safety. Senior Ameer Sorrell is a multi-sport athlete with exceptional athleticism who once again looks to be a major player at cornerback. The only returnee with multiple interceptions from last year, he amassed 18 tackles that included 17 solos. Junior Jamal Goodman is not to be forgotten at the other corner spot, giving offenses a lot to worry about with his great play. He finished with 24 tackles and should once again be a key entering this year. Seniors Dijon Davidson and Jarard Stewart also return looking for time at cornerback. Junior Ryan O’Hara is back to handle the kicking duties after hitting seven field goals last season, including a 42-yard boot vs. Lebanon Valley. Sophomore Michael Bennett is the favorite once again to be the punter. He averaged 36.6 yards per punt last year, including a 39.2 yard average at Stevenson after which he was named MAC Special Teams Player of the Week. The 2014 schedule is not a kind one for Widener, which plays its first two games against NCAA Tournament squads from last season. The unit beings things September 5 under the lights at Rowan, champions of the New Jersey Athletic Conference, and opens league play the following week at reigning MAC titleist Lebanon Valley. The home opener is September 20 vs. Albright, the only game in the first five Widener plays at Leslie C. Quick Jr. Stadium. Three of the last five games are at home, beginning with Homecoming on October 18 against Wilkes. Widener the following week visits Lycoming in which always is an exciting battle. Senior Day, coupled with the Keystone Cup game, vs. Delaware Valley is November 15.

No. 15 Widener built a 14-point lead in the second quarter and impressed more than a few people before No. 3 Wesley took over. Widener’s second drive under new head coach Bobby Acosta resulted in a 99-yard scoring march that included four third-down conversions and Seth Klein completing 9-of-10 passes for 68 yards. The last had Klein find Jermaine Quattlebaum, who caught one up the middle and scampered 10 yards for the score and a 7-0 lead. The Wolverines got a 10-yard touchdown pass of their own with 3:21 to play in the first for a 7-7 draw. The Pride were playing stingy defense, but quarterback Joe Callahan had time to step back in the red zone and found Steve Koudossou, who hauled one in over the middle for the equalizer. Widener bounced right back on its next drive, continuing its fast-paced offense that at times was tough to keep up with. Christopher Wickes blossomed in camp and continued to show promise, getting a two-yard scoring run for a 14-7 Pride cushion. The Pride got the game’s first major break as an exchange for the Wolverines was fumbled and recovered by Stacey Sunnverville at the home team’s 35 yard line. Klein converted a 33-yard pass on third down to Anthony Davis at the one yard line and Couve LaFate, two plays later, got a two-yard touchdown run for a 21-7 lead with 9:21 remaining in the half. Wesley later in the quarter benefitted from a short field as Sean Hopkins returned a punt 27 yards to Widener’s 25 yard line. The one-play drive ended when Callahan found Jeremiah Howe wide open for a touchdown and a 21-14 deficit with 4:04 to play. The Wolverines’ offense continued to churn when Callahan threw his third touchdown pass of the half, a five-yard fade pass to Koudossou with 11 seconds left. Brandon Jones blocked the extra point for a 21-20 Widener margin at halftime. The Wolverines’ offense began to wear down the Pride in the third quarter and, after much resistance, finally kicked in the door on the final play of the period. Callahan got time to throw and once again found Koudossou, this time on a 26-yard scoring pass for a 26-21 Wesley lead before a two-point conversion failed. The Wolverines offense once again looked to the lethal combination of Callahan and Koudossou, who hooked up on a fade route for a 70-yard scoring pass and a 33-21 lead for the duo’s fourth shared touchdown. Klein completed 26-of35 passes for 189 yards and a score and Davis had eight catches for 106 yards. Brandon Harper notched 12 tackles with Tyrone Bundy getting eight and a half sack for the Pride.

Seth Klein broke the school and MAC single-game record for most completions for No. 24 Widener, which won a record 15th straight game at Quick Stadium. Things looked real good on Widener’s first drive, as it methodically went 65 yards in just over three minutes for a 7-0 lead with 9:57 left in the first. Terrant Morrison notched 27 yards rushing on the drive before Richard Brown punched it in from one yard. The Pride’s offense continued in gear later in the quarter when Klein found Anthony Davis on a 27-yard fade route for a 14-0 lead with 2:33 to play. The Dutchmen closed to 14-7 early in the second when Brian Murphy hooked up with Darryl Sweeper for a 24-yard TD pass. The Pride got it back with 6:01 left in the half when Morrison’s one-yard TD run ended a 68-yard drive that required only 66 seconds. Ryan O’Hara kicked a 19-yard field just before halftime for a 24-7 margin. It punctuated a half in which the Pride got 296 yards on 50 plays. The second half stated slow for both offenses, but LVC struck first in the third. After stopping Widener on downs at midfield, Murphy seven plays later ran one in from five yards with 2:37 to play for a 24-14 deficit. O’Hara kicked his second field goal of the day, a 42-yard boot, just 11 seconds into the fourth quarter for a 27-14 lead. But the Dutchmen were not done. On their first play of their next drive, Joey Miller caught a pass from Murphy, eluded a defender and raced 70 yards down the left sideline for a 27-21 contest. After each team was forced to punt, Widener needed a successful march to regain momentum and got it. A 69-yard drive that required three third-down conversions ended when Brown got his second one-yard TD for a 35-21 lead with 8:17 to play. LVC backup quarterback Jeremy Franck was inserted and took charge, producing a stat on 11 of the team’s 12 plays in that drive. He had four rushes in the march, including a two-yard sneak with 1:30 left for a 35-28 deficit. With the onside kick coming, Sean Fakete’s attempt was recovered by Emmanuel Fields that all but ended the contest. Klein ended with 40 receptions, breaking the mark of 37 set by Mike Lomas against Lycoming on November 8, 2003. During his 51 attempts, he threw for 392 yards for the 12th-highest total in school annals. Davis had 13 receptions for 120 yards, Adam Marcucci had nine catches for 87 yards and Morrison amassed 25 carries for 89 yards. Widener ran an alarming 96 plays for 518 yards of offense and converted 9-of-20 third-down chances. Brandon Harper had nine tackles and Stacey Sunnerville notched 2 1/2 sacks. The new winning streak at the 20-year-old stadium bettered the old mark set from 2000-03.

Colin Masterson returned an interception for a touchdown in the third quarter that changed the momentum for Widener, which took control in the second half at Wilkes. Widener’s lethal offense cracked the scoreboard first with 90 seconds to go in the first quarter on a two-yard touchdown run from Richard Brown for a 7-0 lead. The score was possible because of Anthony Davis, who hauled in a 22-yard pass from Seth Klein to the Wilkes 26 yard line. Widener’s defense did its job in the first half, allowing just 98 yards of offense and only 20 yards passing. Stacey Sunnerville and Brandon Harper each had seven tackles in that time. The Colonels defense was the Pride’s albatross in the first half, limiting the visitors to just over 11 minutes in time of possession and only 34 plays. The Pride’s defense in the quarter made numerous big plays, led by Darius Johnson, John DiBiase and Shakore Philip, who each plugged the line and held the Colonels offense at bay. That was before Masterson did his thing, return an interception off back-up quarterback Dan Van Mater. Masterson took the pick, eluded several tackles and sprinted 59 yards down the left side line for a 14-0 Pride lead with 2:31 left in the quarter. At this point, the momentum was all Pride and it was a matter of time before the squad’s offense would get it going. Christopher Wickes had a 26-yard run to the Colonels 25 yard line and Robert Getz capped it on a three-yard touchdown run with 9:52 left, giving Widener a 21-0 lead. The defense was the story, holding the Colonels to a mere 165 yards of offense that included just 67 yards in the second half. Harper, Dylan Ditmer and Ameer Sorrell each had an interception for the Pride, who forced the home team to complete only 5-of-17 passes for 58 yards. Sunnerville again got the job done with 12 tackles and 1 1/2 sacks, Harper closed with 10 tackles and Philip added seven for Widener. Junior Tyler Glover also had two of the Pride’s six sacks. Klein played solidly, completing 27-of-35 passes for 203 yards. Davis closed with 11 catches for 111 yards and Terrant Morrison posted 16 carries for 70 yards.

In yet another classic between these two long-time rivals, No. 24 Widener gave up a field goal to Zack Czap with 2:24 left in a tough loss. Trailing 13-0 midway through the third quarter, Widener needed its offense to kick into gear and got it. The Pride got the ball down to the Warriors 35 yard line before Seth Klein found Terrant Morrison, who caught a short pass and turned it into a TD with 6:34 left for a 13-7 deficit. Lycoming on its next possession went three-and-out by gaining one yard and Widener again was in business, this time at its 44 yard line. Seven plays into a drive that included a 19-yard completion to Christopher Wickes, Klein hit Anthony Davis on an eight-yard scoring pass for a 14-13 lead with 3:24 left in the quarter. The adventurous fourth quarter saw its first huge play when Czap’s punt was mishandled and recovered by Andrew McGreevy at the Pride 39-yard line. Lycoming drove to the two and appeared certain to take the lead, but John DiBiase sacked Tyler Jenny and the ensuing fumble was recovered by Emmanuel Fields for another huge game-changing play. The Pride on the next drive gained only 16 yards before being forced to punt. Lycoming took over on its own 38 and went on a drive in which it converted three first downs. Widener’s defense stopped a third down and eight at the 16, but Czap was called upon and drilled a 33-yard field goal to give the visitors a 16-14 lead. The Pride showed great poise and began its march, getting a 14-yard completion to Davis at the 43 yard line and an 11-yard completion to Wickes at the Warriors 41 yard line. Klein then hit Adam Marcucci on a 10-yard completion to the 36 yard line and Davis on a third-down pass to the 27 yard line. The Warriors defense only allowed the Pride eight more yards before it was left up to kicker Ryan O’Hara. Lycoming had two timeouts left and used only one to ice O’Hara, but the 36-yard attempt sailed wide left with 16 seconds left. The loss ended Widener’s team-record 15-game winning streak at Quick Stadium and it was the squad’s first home loss since a 35-27 setback to Albright on October 23, 2010. It only was the Pride’s 26th loss at the 20-year-old stadium in 104 all-time games. Klein completed 37-of-52 passes for 316 yards and two scores. Stacey Sunnerville had a whale of a game for the Pride, getting six tackles and three of the team’s six sacks. Widener ended with a 331-235 edge in total offense and converted 7-of-18 third downs.

Michael Bennett had an immediate impact after Widener’s first drive when his 44-yard punt went out of bounds at the Stevenson seven yard line. On the ensuing play, Stacey Sunnerville sacked quarterback John Gasparovic in the end zone for a safety and a 2-0 Pride lead. Seth Klein was 6-for-6 on the next drive that ended with a 40-yard fade to pass to a wide-open Anthony Davis with exactly seven minutes left in the first. Stevenson got some momentum back on the next drive by going 49 yards in 11 plays, before Widener’s pass defense forced a long field goal. After Charlie Cornell did not get to attempt Stevenson’s first try thanks to a bad snap, he converted on a 40-yard boot with 3:22 remaining in the first for a 9-3 deficit. The Mustangs decided to gamble on fourth and goal at the one yard line and it paid off. William Hill-Pensamiento ran off tackle and his second effort got him in the end zone with 11:14 left in the first half for a 10-9 Stevenson lead. Stevenson on its next drive got to the Widener six after Gasparovic hit Madison Townley on a 36-yard pass. But the defense came through on the following play as Dylan Ditmer stripped running back Marcus Holley and Colin Masterson recovered with 5:18 left in the half for a mammoth turnover. When the Mustangs got the ball back, a second botched field goal attempt gave the Pride the ball and a shorter field. This time, Widener capitalized with Klein finding Jermaine Quattlebaum over the middle for a 16-yard TD with 61 seconds to go in the half. Klein then hit Adam Marcucci on the two-point conversion for a 17-10 cushion going into halftime. Klein in the first half completed an astonishing 20-of-22 passes for 225 yards. Three plays after Rashon Sorrell returned the second-half kickoff 42 yards to the Pride’s 45 yard line, Klein hit a wide-open Davis for a 55-yard scoring pass 43 seconds into the half for a 24-10 margin. Couve LaFate added to the scoring with a 17-yard run up the middle with 7:01 left for a 31-10 contest. That burst was set up when Christopher Wickes busted down the left sideline for a 54-yard run to the Mustangs 26 yard line. The Mustangs had 167 yards of offense in the second half, but it seemed far fewer than that. Tyrone Bundy had 11 tackles, Ditmer and Masterson notched 10 apiece and Sunnerville amassed two sacks. Ditmer forced two fumbles, Joshua Cooper had one with Masterson and Stephon Singleton each getting an interception. Klein completed 27-of-33 passes for 303 yards and three TDs. Davis had nine catches for 162 yards. Wickes closed with 11 rushes for a career-best 107 yards.

Widener scored the game’s first 24 points and held off a pesky Misericordia on Homecoming Weekend. After forcing the Cougars into a three-and-out on their first drive, the Pride needed just four plays to go 40 yards on their initial march following a bad punt that stayed away from Anthony Davis. The drive ended when Seth Klein found Adam Marcucci wide open on a 23-yard touchdown pass for a 7-0 lead. After another three-and-out, it was back to the grind for Widener’s offense and its latest march resulted in a 36-yard field goal from Ryan O’Hara with 9:19 left in the first quarter for a 10-0 cushion. The Pride were pinned back at their two yard line early in the second quarter, but did not need to worry. An 18-play drive, 98-yard drive that featured 14 runs ended when Richard Brown bulldozed in from the one with 5:46 left in the half for a 17-0 margin. Widener received the second half kickoff and continued its dominance for a 24-0 lead. The run game again was prevalent against Misericordia, which entered last in the league in rushing defense. Ten rushing plays over a 13-play drive culminated when Christopher Wickes scored on a one-yard run with 11:33 remaining in the third. The Cougars then made things interesting, scoring touchdowns on each of their next two drives for a 24-14 deficit. Quarterback Jeff Puckett ran outside for a seven-yard run and Dean Lucchesi recovered Puckett’s fumble in the end zone with 2:04 to play in the third. Widener on its next march got back to business and Klein continued his solid play, finding a wide-open Davis for a 28-yard scoring pass with 34 seconds left in the period for a 31-14 lead. The fourth quarter featured the game’s signature play. Puckett went back to pass and got crushed by Dylan Ditmer, forcing a fumble. Brandon Jones picked up the loose ball and ran 65 yards untouched for the score and Widener’s second defensive touchdown of the year. Ryan Kurtz ran one in for the Cougars from one yard to close the scoring. Klein completed 21-of-27 passes for 249 yards. Davis ended with seven catches for 108 yards. Couve LaFate totaled 18 carries for 85 yards for the Pride, who had 441 yards of total offense, converted 9-of-17 third downs and 3-of-4 fourth downs. Colin Masterson had a game with 11 tackles for the Pride, who held the Cougars to just 133 yards passing.

Widener put up 42 points in the opening half and the defense once again played solidly in win over FDU-Florham. A mere 32 seconds was needed for Widener to open a 7-0 lead. One play after catching an 11-yard pass, Couve LaFate rushed the ball down the right sideline 44 yards for a score. On the next drive, Richard Brown had the last five carries on the 70-yard march that included a two-yard plunge for a 14-0 lead with 3:31 remaining in the period. The second quarter was more of the same as Widener put away the contest. Robert Getz barreled in from one yard early in the stanza and Colby McMaster added a two-yard burst with 10:39 left for a 28-0 margin. Though Widener’s defense had another outstanding game, it was breached with 6:10 to play in the half when Craig Kimbrough ended a 79-yard drive with a two yard run for a 28-7 margin. That merely was an interruption of the Pride’s solid afternoon. Seth Klein hit Anthony Davis on an eight-yard pass to start the next drive and then connected with him on a 52-yard TD strike for a 35-7 Widener lead. The Pride then got a fortuitous break with 91 seconds remaining in the half. Klein’s pass over the middle was deflected by a Devils linebacker and hauled in by Blaine Price for a 16-yard score and a 42-7 halftime margin. This culminated a half in which the Pride owned a decisive 412-192 edge in total offense, amassed a 22-10 advantage in first downs and limited the Devils to just 76 yards rushing. Klein, who only played in the first half, completed 22-of-24 passes for 276 yards. Ryan O’Hara booted a 32-yard field goal early in the third quarter for a 45-7 margin. After Sean Titus returned an interception 21 yards to the FDU 10 yard line, Rashon Sorrell ran one in on the next play for a 52-7 contest. Anthony Ognibene had a one-yard TD run for the Devils and Michael Thompson followed suit for the Pride to end the scoring. Davis had all of his production in the first half, getting five receptions for 101 yards. LaFate ended with nine carries for 69 yards for the Pride, who closed with a 609-318 edge in total offense and were playing the Devils one week after notching their 666th win in program history. Vaughn Nichols-Taylor and Brandon Harper had five tackles each for Widener, which allowed just 156 rushing yards.

Anthony Davis broke the school’s single-season receptions record, but Widener came up short at Albright. Widener’s offense on the first drive was in full gear thanks to Seth Klein. The march was highlighted by a 37-yard pass to Adam Marcucci and a 38-yard completion to Davis. The 89yard drive ended when Klein found Couve LaFate on a nine-yard TD pass for a 7-0 lead with 8:40 remaining in the first. The Pride’s defense shutdown the Lions on the next possession that resulted in a seven-play, 10-yard drive. But Albright has Dan Sobolewski as its kicker and he was able to drill a line-drive 49-yard field goal with 3:53 remaining in the first for a 7-3 contest. Albright finally breached Widener’s defense midway through the second. TJ Luddy completed a 33-yard pass to Daniel McNair at the one yard line and Ty Hughes, two plays later, had a one-yard dive with 5:49 to play to give the Lions a 10-7 lead. The Lions then hit the Pride with the latter’s greatest deficit in more than a month, a 17-7 margin with 56 seconds left in the half. Seven plays after Klein was intercepted by Drew Peterson, Luddy found McNair wide open on a 27-yard TD pass. Klein on Widener’s next possession hit Jermaine Quattlebaum on a 35-yard fade route to the Albright 30. Ryan O’Hara gave the Pride much-needed points on a 27-yard field goal with one second left for a 17-10 halftime score. Klein in the first half completed 16-of-19 passes for 179 yards for the Pride, who held a 227-148 edge in total offense in that span. The Pride opened the second half taking advantage of a short field and a 26 yard pass from Klein to Marcucci. The march culminated with Klein’s nine-yard TD pass to Davis 63 seconds into the half, but the extra point was missed for a 17-16 deficit. Albright on its next possession had fourth down in its territory when Luddy, who doubles as the team’s punter, dropped a short snap and Widener took over at the home team’s 24 yard line. O’Hara closed the drive with a 37-yard field goal with 11:28 to play in the third for a 19-17 Widener lead. The Lions got those points back on the next drive when Sobolewski nailed a 25-yard field goal with 7:08 to play in the third for a 20-19 margin. Sobolewski drilled a 21-yarder 1:17 into the fourth and then converted the unconventional natural hat trick by hitting a 38-yard boot with 9:58 left for a 26-19 Lions advantage. Albright had enough with the field goals and let its special teams go to work. After a low snap to Widener punter Michael Bennett, Sean Cunningham blocked it and raced 23 yards for the TD with 8:15 remaining for the final. Davis ended with 14 receptions and now has 76 to break the school’s single-season mark set by Jeff Chick, who had 73 in 2005. Klein completed 35-of-44 passes for 350 yards and two TDs for Widener, which ended with a 374-301 edge in total offense. Kevin Burns amassed eight tackles.

Couve LaFate broke off a 91-yard TD run early in the contest that set the tone in a victory over King’s. Afraid to kick to Anthony Davis, the Monarchs booted the opening kickoff out of bounds before surrendering a one-yard TD run by Chris Wickes for a 7-0 lead. On the Pride’s next possession, LaFate took a handoff on the drive’s second play, ran up the middle and cruised into the end zone for the game’s signature play and a 14-0 margin with 5:54 left in the first. It is Widener’s longest run since the legendary Billy “White Shoes” Johnson had a 93-yard TD scamper at Ursinus on October 28, 1972. King’s got a huge break on its next drive. Tyler Hartranft completed a pass to Josh Sanders and was crushed by Kevin Burns, forcing a fumble. But Justin Burke was there in the end zone for the recovery with 2:33 to play and a 14-7 deficit. Wickes on the Pride’s next march had a 51-yard run to the Monarchs’ 18 yard line and then scored on a three-yard burst with 1:06 left in the quarter for a 21-7 margin. The defenses in the second quarter began to take shape with several stalled drives. Widener was able to capitalize on a short field after Hartranft’s quick kick went four yards to the King’s 45. Three plays later, Seth Klein found Davis on a 20-yard fade pass with 8:45 left in the half for a 28-7 margin. The Pride then used a 14-play drive late in the half to lead into Ryan O’Hara booting an 18-yard field goal with six seconds remaining for a 31-7 halftime score. LaFate already was at 142 yards in the opening half on 14 carries, helping Widener gain 231 yards on the ground in the half en route to a 344-109 edge in total offense. King’s first drive in the second half ended after just two plays when Jamal Goodman forced and recovered a fumble at the visitors’ 27 yard line. LaFate got his second TD of the contest on a three-yard run for a 38-7 Widener lead. Connor Schlegel hauled in a 28-yard TD pass from Klein later in the third and Colby McMaster added a 35-yard TD run early in the fourth for the Pride. Dan Kempa caught a 61-yard TD pass from Hartranft and backup quarterback Tom Hehre scored on a six-yard TD run for the Monarchs. LaFate ended with 174 rushing on 19 carries for his first career 100-yard game. This helped the Pride close with 314 yards rushing, their greatest total since getting 321 in a snowstorm at Albright on October 29, 2011. Klein, who for the second straight week entered leading the nation in completion percentage, completed 15-of-27 passes for 223 yards. Jermaine Quattlebaum hauled in five receptions for 80 yards for Widener, which closed with a 537-354 edge in total offense. Dylan Ditmer had 11 solo tackles for the Pride, who permitted just 130 rushing yards and forced the Monarchs to go just 2-of-13 on third-down conversions.

Seth Klein broke the school’s single-season completions record, but Widener saw its season come to an end at Delaware Valley. The Aggies on their first two drives used two long passes from Aaron Wilmer to Lewis Vincent that went 31 and 32 yards. The Pride’s defense stopped the home team up the middle before Brandon Snyder kicked a 30-yard field goal less than two minutes into the contest for a 3-0 Aggies lead. Widener’s fast-paced offense scored a TD on its opening drive for the fifth straight game. Terrant Morrison ended it with a 20-yard TD and a 7-3 Pride lead with 10:35 to play in the first. Rasheed Bailey took his turn on center stage for the Aggies on consecutive plays. He blocked a punt that was recovered at the Pride 32 yard line and then hauled in a TD reception from Wilmer with 7:32 left in the quarter for a 10-7 Del Val lead. Klein did not panic on the next drive, completing a 16-yard pass to Connor Schlegel and then a 31-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Davis. The latter avoided several tacklers and worked his way inside the left pylon for a 14-10 Pride lead with 5:41 remaining in the first. Del Val regained the lead at 17-14 just over three minutes into the second quarter. Bailey again showed his athleticism by catching Wilmer’s pass over the middle and racing 21 yards for the TD. Colin Masterson has made many big plays in his career and he added another with an interception at the Aggies 40 yard line. Morrison capped the drive with his second TD, a nine-yard run with 5:25 remaining for a 21-17 Pride lead. Widener, which for the third straight year entered this game with a chance to win at least a share of the conference title, then got another TD for the half ’s biggest lead thanks to an efficient 74-yard drive that took under two minutes. Klein found a leaping Davis at the left pylon for a 10-yard TD catch with 29 seconds left in the half and a 28-17 Pride advantage. The Aggies on the first drive in the second half took advantage of penalties and a questionable fourth-down spot to close to 28-23 with 10:10 to play in the third. Wilmer scored on a six-yard keeper up the middle, but Kevin Burns blocked the extra point. Darren Parrott gave Del Val the lead with 4:10 to play in the third by scampering eight yards to make it 29-28 for the home team after the two-point conversion failed. The Aggies then took a 36-28 lead with 53 seconds left in the third thanks to Kyle Schuberth. He took a handoff, darted up the middle and went untouched 65 yards for the TD. Schuberth then scored on a two-yard TD run, making it 43-28 Aggies with 5:49 remaining. Schuberth put away the contest on a 59-yard run with 1:43 left for the final. Klein completed 35-of-55 passes for 308 yards and two scores to give him 285 completions, breaking the mark of 282 set last season by Chris Haupt. He also closes the year with 2,809 passing yards, good for fifth best in school history. Davis amassed 12 catches for 119 yards and two TD.

MIDDLE ATLANTIC CONFERENCE / 2013 REVIEW The Middle Atlantic Conference, formerly the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Conference and commonly known as the MAC, originated in 1912 as a loose confederation of colleges. It was unified into an actual all-sports playing conference in 1952 and became the oldest and largest Division III conference holding NCAA membership. In 1999, spurred by changes in the NCAA championship structure, the corporation formed as an umbrella for three conferences: Commonwealth, Freedom, and Middle Atlantic (all 17 institutions). The Commonwealth is made up of Albright, Arcadia, Alvernia, Hood, Lebanon Valley, Lycoming, Messiah, Stevenson and Widener. The Freedom is comprised of Delaware Valley, DeSales, Eastern, FDU-Florham, King’s, Manhattanville, Misericordia and Wilkes. The earliest records indicate that the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Association was organized December 11, 1912. The first annual meeting was held May 16, 1913, followed by the first annual track meet at Lafayette College the next day. In subsequent years, the association grew and many leagues sprang within it. The Middle Atlantic Collegiate Wrestling Association, formed in March 1925, was the first to name a Middle Atlantic champion. The first basketball conference, formed as three divisions (North, West, South), had winners join an at-large selection for a four-team playoff. The three-section alignment eventually dissolved, but the Southern Division remained intact. Alignments were further altered when the NCAA created Divisions I, II and III. The MAC added women’s athletics in 1978-79. The steady incorporation of senior women’s administrators into the conference hierarchy reached its zenith when Dr. Carol Fritz, associate athletic director at Western Maryland, was elected president in 1986. During the first 76 years, several athletic directors served as conference coordinators on a part-time basis. David B. Eavenson, a MAC legend, served as president, publicity director and executive director from 19721988. Nathan Salant in 1998 became the conference’s first full-time executive director. Major changes were made for the 1993-94 year. Ten schools left to form their own association. Their departure served as a catalyst for the presidents and athletic administrators of the remaining 16 schools to form a streamlined, efficient, dual-league organization. This “new look” was part of a national movement to consolidate similar institutions for competitive

athletic opportunities while increasing presidential involvement in the setting of athletic policy. It also was the year Linda Hopple became the league’s first female executive director, serving from 1993-2000. Ken Andrews took over for Hopple, becoming the conference’s third full-time executive director. The conference office was housed at Widener University from 1988-93. It was moved to the campus of Lebanon Valley College upon the hiring of Hopple and remains there today. A moratorium on new membership ended in June 1995. In December of that year, the board accepted Allentown College (now DeSales University) as a new member of the conference, effective for the 1997-98 academic year. DeSales was placed in the Freedom Conference and replaced Upsala College, which closed in 1995. Stevenson and Hood joined the MAC in 2012-13 as full-time members and were placed in the Commonwealth Conference. Stevenson began competing in the league for football in 2011. Elizabethtown left the conference after the 2013-14 academic year. The conference sponsors competition in baseball, basketball, cross country, field hockey, football, golf, indoor and outdoor track and field, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball.

WIDENER PRIDE
1977, 1981 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS The 1977 season provided more than just the school’s first NCAA championship in any sport. It left many memorable moments for a team who stuck together throughout the campaign after beginning in less than ideal shape. The offense looked in disarray with just one returning starter. The defense was in a worse predicament after three standouts decided, respectively, to quit, become a state trooper and enter the Marines. Leave it to perennially optimistic Hall-of-Fame coach Bill Manlove (pictured) to turn the tide and create one of the school’s most magical runs. Manlove was not the only one wearing blue and gold in high spirits. After Widener’s season-opening 28-0 victory over Lebanon Valley, All-America running back Chip Zawoiski told Manlove, “I’ll see you in Alabama, Coach” (site of the national championship game). Zawoiski’s prognostication did not look profound after the following week’s loss to Fordham, but little did anyone know that would be the Pioneers’ final setback of the year. The Pioneers (11-1) rolled through the remainder of the regular season and into the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years. A quarterfinal date at Central in Pella, Iowa turned out to be no match. The home team sported the nation’s leading rusher, but Zawoiski stole the show with a then tournament-record 31 carries along with 171 yards in Widener’s 19-0 victory. The semifinal against Albany State was played in the mud at Memorial Stadium, coupled with a brutal wind. The Pioneers squandered an early 12-0 lead, but Steve Warrington’s 52-yard punt return for a touchdown was the catalyst in a 33-15 victory, confirming Zawoiski’s insight and Manlove’s belief in his unit. The Stagg Bowl in Phenix City, AL against Wabash saw Widener fall into a 10-0 hole. But in a contest which featured five lead changes, the Pioneers’ biggest play gave them an insurmountable advantage. The usually cautious Manlove called for quarterback Mark Walter to hit Walker Carter on a bomb, which worked for a 70-yard touchdown pass late in the game and a 39-28 lead. Upon the conclusion of Widener’s 39-36 victory, students who witnessed the nationally televised game on a rented seven-foot screen in Alumni Auditorium poured out of the hall and on to nearby Memorial Stadium in jubilation. The offense that looked skeptical, at first, saw Zawoiski finish the season with 1,576 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns, and Walter close with 1,312 yards passing and 15 touchdowns. The defense, minus all the defections, held seven opponents in single figures and yielded just 11.6 points per game. The 1981 undefeated season was as much about a team celebration than anything else. After all, the senior class could claim at year’s end a 42-3 record over four seasons, four conference championships, three NCAA Tournament appearances and a national championship. But it was one player who stood out. Tom Deery (pictured), a three-time All-American and one of three Pioneers in the College Football Hall of Fame, not only was the spark plug on defense and special teams a fourth straight season, but again provided the big moments when needed. Unlike the 1980 season when the Pioneers cruised to most of their victories, the 1981 campaign was a scratch-and-claw effort that saw the team defeat some game opponents and prepare them for bigger tests. The first big test was the last game of the regular season at Swarthmore with the MAC Southern Division title and an NCAA berth at stake. The Garnet fans were seeking a huge upset on their home turf, but the Pioneers’ defense came through by allowing just 53 yards rushing in a 16-6 victory. The national quarterfinals the following week at West Georgia this time provided an opportunity for the pass defense to shine. Widener surrendered just 89 yards through the air and held on for a 10-3 triumph. Enter Montclair State to Memorial Stadium for the semifinals. Enter Tom Deery. The Indians scored early in the fourth quarter to close within 14-12. Deery made sure it would once again be a two-possession game. Breaking a school record that stood since 1926, Deery returned the ensuing kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown and a 21-12 game. The 23-12 victory once again had the Pioneers packing their bags for Phenix City. This time, the final opponent would be one a little more familiar. Dayton not only was the defending national champion, but it had rallied from a 24-point deficit the year before for a stunning 28-24 semifinal victory over Widener in Chester. Just like 1977, the Pioneers found themselves in a 10-0 quagmire in the Stagg Bowl. They found a way again and this time, it would be Deery to the rescue. Deery came through by returning a punt 76 yards for a touchdown and a 10-7 deficit. Tony Britton gave Widener the lead for good on a 20-yard touchdown run and Mark Stephan added a 23-yard field goal for a 17-10 victory, capping a 13-0 season. Deery ended the campaign with 11 interceptions along with 833 return yards.

WIDENER PRIDE
LESLIE C. QUICK JR. STADIUM The capstone of the Widener athletic facilities is Leslie C. Quick Jr. Stadium, which was unveiled for the 1994 football season. Located in the wooded hollow that has grown from a 19th century quarry, the stadium is adjacent to the Schwartz Center complex. Dedicated on October 15, 1994, the stadium is named for alum and former University Chairman of the Board Leslie C. Quick Jr., ‘50. During his undergraduate years, Mr. Quick served as manager of the football and basketball teams for three years under Woody Ludwig. Quick Stadium towers over a new turf field (installed in 2005) designed with the flexibility in size to accommodate football, soccer, men’s lacrosse and track & field. Encircling the turf is an eight-lane, synthetic-surfaced, championship track, known as the George A. Hansell Jr. Track. The track, dedicated in 1984, is named for the former athletic director and coach. The mezzanine sports a Wall of Recognition, which features the dedication plaque and the names of over 400 alumni, faculty and friends so recognized for contributions to the stadium construction fundraising campaign. Of historical significance, the Wall of Recognition features three medallions removed from Memorial Stadium reading: “Pennsylvania Military College, 1926,” “Sound Mind in Sound Body” and “Dedicated to Youth.” Memorial Stadium, located behind Old Main, was the site of the University’s home football games for nearly 70 years. Widener fans, coaches and student-athletes share an enormous sense of pride in Quick Stadium, which provides one of the finest NCAA Division III facilities for players, press and spectators in the United States. The Pride on November 10, 2012 played their 100th football game at Quick Stadium when they hosted Delaware Valley. It also was on the same day Widener played its 1,100th contest in school history.

ADMINISTRATION
Jack Shafer • Director of Athletics Jack Shafer is in his ninth season as Widener’s director of athletics after serving the previous six as its assistant director. Shafer primarily is responsible for overseeing the school’s 20 sports and the overall growth of the department. As the director of athletics, Shafer has helped oversee upgrades to the Schwartz Center gym, pool and field house, an upgrade of various needs within the department and a greater community outreach among student-athletes. The summer of 2013 saw Shafer put forth further change with a complete overhaul of the weight room at Schwartz Center in addition to the pool undergoing renovations. The Pride also took another major step toward reaching to the Chester community by seeing its men’s and women’s soccer teams play a regular-season game at PPL Park, starting in 2010. Under Shafer’s watch, the Pride have had 10 CoSIDA Academic All-Americas, 10 named MAC Scholar-Athletes of the Year for their sport, 10 tabbed Philadelphia Inquirer Performer of the Year for academic and athletic excellence, and 95 picked to the Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area Teams. As assistant director of athletics, Shafer was responsible for overseeing all indoor sports, event management and facilities. He played a huge role in fundraising activities, including the school’s annual golf
Larissa Gillespie
Asst. Athletic Dir. Larissa Gillespie is in her 11th year as Widener’s assistant athletic director and senior woman administrator. In addition to her administrative duties at her alma mater, Gillespie is in her 15th year as field hockey coach. She also coached women’s lacrosse from 2004-06. Gillespie owns a 132-108 record as field hockey coach, which in 2006 included a run to the ECAC Mid-Atlantic Tournament for the program’s first postseason appearance. Widener that year broke the school record for most victories (13-6) and notched double figures in wins for a school-best fourth straight season.
