JOHN F. WILEY STADIUM By Danny Reed Class of 2007, Fullback (2003-06)
Over the course of more than 150 years, Waynesburg has enjoyed a bevy of athletic success, of which the football field‘s namesake, John F. Wiley, was an integral part. Dr. Wiley graduated from Waynesburg in 1941 and etched his place in the history of college football, as he was the starting fullback for the Yellow Jackets in the first-ever televised football game against Fordham University in 1939. Ten years after he graduated, Wiley returned to coach and achieved a 22-9-1 record from 1951-54. The current John F. Wiley Stadium was officially dedicated on Oct. 26, 1995, and has since received numerous renovations, making it a premier athletic site. In 1997, the Frank Wolf Fieldhouse, honoring the school’s all-time winningest coach, was constructed beyond the west end zone and houses the game day dressing room and visitor’s locker room. For the 1999 season, the stadium was renovated to hold a 4,000 seating capacity and became a five-story structure with Frank Wolf Fieldhouse was constructed in 1997. the addition of the Mo Scarry Skybox, in honor of the former coach and NFL player and coach. Scarry holds the distinction of being a defensive line coach for the 1972 Super Bowl Champion Miami Dolphins who finished 17-0, the only NFL team to ever have an undefeated season. In March of 2006, it was announced that the field’s grass surface would be uprooted for the installation of the latest FieldTurf 2 1/2” monofilament synthetic turf by Amity Asphalt Paving Inc. of Houston, Pa. The new surface was completed in time for the start of the 2006 football season. Since the field was renamed in 1995, John F. Wiley Stadium bared witness to two conference championship teams and countless record-breaking events. On Oct. 17, 1998, WaynesFieldTurf at Wiley Stadium made its debut on burg clinched a three-way September 9, 2006, against the College of Wooster. share of its first PAC Championship defeating Grove City, 33-13. Then, on Nov. 15, 2003, the Yellow Jackets clinched their first outright PAC title in school history, defeating Westminster, 34-20. The victory also earned Waynesburg its first-ever berth in the NCAA Division III national playoffs.

JOHN F. WILEY STADIUM Individual records have also fallen, beginning with the legendary performance of Grove City’s two-time All-American fullback R.J. Bowers on Oct. 14, 2000. In that contest, Bowers broke former two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin’s record of 31 consecutive 100-yard games, rushing 47 times for 266 yards and three touchdowns in a 32-29 victory in four overtimes. Bowers also became the NCAA’s all-time leader in rushing touchdowns with 84. Waynesburg running back Ryan Abels broke a record of his own on Sept. 23, 2006, becoming the school’s all-time leading rusher in a 29-18 win over Grove City. Abels finished his career with 3,985 yards, 688 yards more than former record-holder Mike Stout. Seven years ago, the Yellow Jackets made their own impact on both the school record books and the national statistical rankings. In 2007, running back Robert Heller set new school standards for rushing yards in a season (2,176) and touchdown runs (26). Those marks were also the best in all of Division III. On defense, defensive end Mike Czerwien rolled up a whopping 23 sacks and 34.5 tackles for loss. Both numbers were not only new school records, they also were the best in the country. Records have fallen, players have come and gone and memories have been made, making it an undeniable fact that John F. Wiley Stadium has become a definitive homefield advantage for the Yellow Jackets.
THE 12TH MAN - JACKET EXPRESS
Wiley Stadium gives Waynesburg perhaps the most unique in-game feature in the region as the Norfolk Southern frequently rolls by, affectionately nicknamed the “Jacket Express.” Not only does the express provide opposing offenses with constant headaches, but it is also indicative of the importance of the coal mining industry in southwestern Pennsylvania.

2017 SEASON OUTLOOK For the first time in over a decade, a new man will be in charge of the Waynesburg University football program. However, he is hardly a fresh face on campus. After 12year head coach Rick Shepas announced his retirement in March, Chris Smithley was promoted after one year as offensive coordinator to interim head coach.
games in which he appeared. He threw for a team-best 1,422 yards (203.1 ypg) and four touchdowns. Included in that run was a 401-yard outburst during a 50-42 loss at Thiel. He completed 26-of-51 passes against the Tomcats with two touchdowns.
Smithley inherits a team that went 2-8 overall and 2-6 in PAC play. However, three of the Jackets’ losses came by a touchdown or less, and one more, a 35-23 setback at Carnegie Mellon, featured a 17-14 lead in the fourth quarter.
While Perone showcased a strong arm as a more traditional pocket style passer, the athletic Jenkins showed that he is more than capable of making things happen with his legs. He rushed for 144 yards and a touchdown on 37 carries. He also completed 29-of-54 attempts for 343 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions.
The new leader of the Yellow Jackets and his staff will rely on a roster that features just 11 returning starters (three on offense, seven on defense, one on special teams). However, the program was still able to keep a recruiting class that features over 50 new players mostly intact, despite the change in leadership.
Jenkins’ lone rushing score of the year provided the game-deciding points in the Jackets’ 14-10 win over Grove City. He also started and played every snap in Waynesburg’s 10-9 homecoming win over Geneva. He threw for 190 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 25 net yards against the Golden Tornadoes.
THE OFFENSE Smithley and new offensive coordinator Erick Foust, who will be making his collegiate coaching debut after a very successful high school coaching career that spanned more than two decades, will have their hands full when it comes to scoring points. Their first job is to replace seven starters on offense, including three everyday stalwarts on the offensive line, two starting wide receivers, a four-year starter at fullback and Waynesburg’s number-one rusher.
As previously mentioned, Dougherty was off to a solid start in 2016 before injury prematurely ended his second year as a starter. Over two-plus games, he connected on 55-of-104 tries for 565 yards, four touchdowns and an interception.
However, one position that won’t be a concern in terms of talent and production is the most important on the field: quarterback.
RUNNING BACKS The running back position will be led by junior Ben Ciero and sophomore Chad Walker. Walker transferred to Waynesburg prior his first year with the Jackets.
QUARTERBACKS After taking nearly every snap as a freshman in 2015, Jake Dougherty had his sophomore campaign off to a solid start, before an injury in the team’s week-three loss to CMU ended his season. Luckily, transfer freshmen Tyler Perone and Aaron Jenkins used their own unique skill sets to to guide the Orange and Black offense. Perone, who came to Waynesburg from Division II Seton Hill after a very successful high school career at Western Pennsylvania quarterback factory Seton LaSalle High School, started six of the seven 2017 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE
Despite so many faces playing so many snaps throughout the schedule, Waynesburg still finished a respectable sixth in the PAC in terms of passing yards per game (233.0 ypg).
The two combined for 130 carries, 493 yards and three touchdowns on the ground in 2016. Ciero, a bruising 5-7, 210-pounder, tallied all three scores for the pair and ripped off the team’s longest run of the season (43 yards). Ciero also caught nine passes for 56 yards. Walker picked up 64 carries for 202 yards and added seven receptions for 39 yards. The Jacket ground attack is hoping to get a boost from the return of Austin Wilson. Wil11

2017 SEASON OUTLOOK a solid combination of size (6-1, 180) and downfield speed at the position. The Jackets will rely on its 50-plus newcomers to help fill out the depth charts at the wide out positions. When it comes to tight end, the position didn’t play a prominent role last year. However, 6-2, 220-pound sophomore Alex Stoy is expected back this year and could provide some size along the line. OFFENSIVE LINE Much like wide receiver, the Waynesburg coaching staff will have some decisions to make when it comes to the big bodies up front. Three everyday starters are gone from last year’s squad, as well as several others who logged significant snaps. Heading into 2017, look for the Jackets to rely heavily on a pair of brothers to anchor the efforts in the trenches.
Quarterback Tyler Perone was forced into extended action following an injury to starter Jake Dougherty. He responded with 1,422 yards and four touchdowns in his first year at Waynesburg.
Senior Hunter Six (6-2, 370) and his “little” brother Tanner (6-0, 320) both logged starts at various spots along the line last year and combined to appear in 16 games for Waynesburg. That workload can only go up as they look to protect the team’s young skill players in the offensive backfield.
son, who came to campus in 2015 from Poland, Ohio, impressed as a freshman. During his rookie campaign, he averaged a teambest 6.0 yards per carry on 21 totes. He also proved to be an effective weapon in the kick return game (20.4 yards per return) prior to missing all of last year.
An individual who could see significant snaps, if not multiple starts, is senior Trevin Bedilion. The veteran combines good size (6-3, 330) with the experience of playing in seven games last year, including a start against Washington & Jefferson in the season finale.
Though he didn’t get any carries this past season, senior fullback/h-back Alec Watts proved to be a reliable pass catcher out of the backfield. He snagged three balls for 20 yards, one of which found the end zone. RECEIVERS With four of its top five pass catchers gone from last year’s roster, Waynesburg will lean heavily on the pair of senior Mitch Kendra and sophomore Bobby Grishaber when it comes to the aerial attack. Kendra enjoyed a breakout campaign and established himself as one of the PAC’s top big play threats. The two-sport star – Kendra won the 2015 conference title in the pole vault – set personal collegiate highs in catches (23) and yards (483), while also recording his first touchdown. His 21.0 yards per catch average was good for second in the league.
After missing all of last year due to injury, senior J.T. Colosimo (6-2, 270) looks healthy and ready to return to action. In 2015, Colosimo appeared in eight games and started one of them. He should enter his final collegiate campaign as a favorite for a starting spot. Another veteran returner, senior Chris Batove (5-11, 260), is expected to be in the mix for playing time, as well as a slew of newcomers. Waynesburg has made offensive line one of, if not its biggest focus in terms of recruiting over the past two years. Sophomores Cody Edwards, Kevin McClellan and Benjamin Calderon all have a year of experience under their respective belts.
Though Grishaber pulled in just two passes for 35 yards as a freshman, he provides 2017 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

2017 SEASON OUTLOOK THE DEFENSE While there is plenty of turnover both on the field and in the coaching ranks when it comes to the Yellow Jacket offense, the defense will be led for a 13th season by coordinator and assistant head coach Scott Venick. He will be joined by John Sikora, who was promoted to a full-time coach from graduate assistant, working with the linebackers, and veteran defensive line leader Alex Smith, among others. DEFENSIVE LINE The front has typically been the biggest strength of a Venick defense. The 2017 edition of this unit will be younger than in past years and must replace three impact starters who combined for 141 tackles, 36.5 tackles for loss and 17 sacks. Senior James Roundtree III played in all 10 games last year, six of which were starts, and totaled 18 tackles (11 solo) from his end position. The lone returning starter recorded 3.0 tackles for loss, 2.0 of which were sacks, and recovered two fumbles. Junior Will VanNorman saw his field time increase towards the end of 2016 and could be in for a bigger workload this year. The two-sport athlete, he is also a member of the PAC champion wrestling team, appeared in three games and is considered one of the team’s strongest players at 6-1, 230. Behind Roundtree and VanNorman, little is known about how the depth chart will shake out. Sophomores James Males, Josh Biernacki and Ray Paquet are among a small group of returners that will come in to camp looking to win jobs. LINEBACKERS While the line is young and untested, the Waynesburg linebackers will be relied upon to be the core of the Jacket defense. Let by seniors Brent Blacharczyk and Tristan Sandrosky, the second wave of tacklers will have a lot on its collective plate while the defensive line gels together. Blacharczyk emerged for the Orange and Black in his second year after transferring from Seton Hill. He led the team in total tackles (72), solo tackles (40) and assists (32). He also brought opposing ball carriers down in the backfield a total of four times. 2017 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE
Junior Justin Willkow started all 10 games at cornerback in 2016. He recorded 42 tackles, broke up 10 passes and intercepted another.
For his efforts, Blacharczyk was named honorable mention All-PAC. Sandrosky finished fifth on the team in total tackles last year (45), six of which were made in the backfield. He also helped out on a sack, broke up a pass and recovered a fumble. The Uniontown, Pennsylvania, native’s skills were on full display at Grove City, where he piled up 13 tackles, 11 of which were solo stops, and 2.0 tackles for loss. John-Glen Davis, a Waynesburg native, could get his first real shot at being an everyday starter as a junior. Davis racked up 30 tackles last year, 16 of which were solo, and broke up a pair of passes. Speaking of juniors, Nico Brown, Logan Eller and Austin Kline all return for their third season in a Waynesburg uniform. Their experience both on defense and special teams will be crucial to the Jackets returning to their winning ways of three years ago, when the team went 8-3 and hosted an Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) bowl game. DEFENSIVE BACKS The secondary looks to be the most expe13
www.waynesburgsports.com
2017 SEASON OUTLOOK rienced unit on the team, offense or defense, in 2017. Six individuals who saw action in at least seven games are back, four of which recorded multiple starts. Venick will rely heavily on this group to keep the opposition out of the end zone. Standing 6-2 and weighing over 200 pounds, junior Justin Willkow has the look of a strong safety, but started every game at cornerback last year. He racked up 42 tackles (35 solo), notched an interception and broke up 10 more opposing pass attempts. He also forced a fumble and even got into the backfield for a tackle for loss. If he continues his upward trend, Willkow could be one of the top defensive backs in the PAC by the end of the year. Competition is expected to be fierce at the other corner spot. Sophomore Brennan Sefick picked up the Jacket defense quickly after transferring from Division II Alderson Broaddus. He wound up playing in nine of Waynesburg’s 10 contests and started the final five games of the year. Sefick logged 27 tackles (18 solo) and finished behind only Willkow with six broken up passes. Like Sefick, sophomore Deondre’ Marable needed little time to earn reps. He appeared in nine games and showcased top-line speed while making 10 tackles, all of which were solo stops. When it comes to the safety spots, senior Christian Breisinger looks to have the inside track on one of the two starting jobs. Breisinger has started eight games over the past two years after converting from quarterback following his freshman campaign. He tallied 32 tackles and broke up a pass as a junior. Like Willkow, sophomore VaShon Graham brings good size to the defensive backfield at 6-3, 205. However, while Willkow became known for his excellent coverage skills, Graham earned a reputation as one of the hardest hitters on the team. He started for Waynesburg’s last five games and appeared in nine total contests. Over that time, he showed no fear of sticking his nose into the action, tallying 18 tackles, including one for loss. Andrew Brncic very quietly had a solid sophomore season, which could lead to more work this fall. He made six tackles in seven games. 2017 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE 14
SPECIAL TEAMS Along with serving as linebackers coach, Sikora has also taken over as Waynesburg’s special teams coordinator. He will have to find a new punter and solidify the returner jobs, but will work with cupboards that are far from bare. KICKERS Sophomore Mike Ryhal beat out junior Garrett Guthrie for the starting kicking job several games into last year and proved to be one of the most reliable legs in the PAC. Ryhal connected on six-of-eight field goal attempts and drilled all 10 of his extra point attempts. The Fredonia, Pennsylvania, native also averaged a team-best 50.5 yards per kickoff. Guthrie also saw his first collegiate action in 2016 and went one-for-three in field goal attempts and five-for-five in PAT tries. Thanks to the two kickers’ combined efforts, Waynesburg was one of just three conference teams to not miss a PAT try. PUNTER Though the team lost three-year starter Jonathan Hager to graduation, senior R.J. Leon looks ready to take over the job. Last year, with his team backed up near its own goal line against Geneva, Leon unleashed a 59-yard punt that was downed at the Golden Tornado 29-yard-line. It was his only punt of the season, but it played a crucial role in the Jackets’ thrilling 10-9 victory. RETURNERS Walker is the only player back who had experience returning kicks in 2016. He averaged 19.8 yards per takeback and will likely be the favorite to handle the duties once again, along with Wilson. The job of number-one punt returner will is still to be determined. Waynesburg opens its 114th season on Saturday, Sept. 2, with a road trip to Muskingum. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. The Jackets host their home opener the following weekend with a 1:30 p.m. non-conference matchup against PAC rival Westminster.

COACHING STAFF INTERIM HEAD COACH CHRIS SMITHLEY
While there, he served as secondary coach and special teams coordinator for three years and as a linebacker coach for one year. During his tenure, the Presidents compiled 59 interceptions, including PAC-leading marks of 21 and 16 in 2014 and 2013, respectively. Washington & Jefferson ranked ninth in the country in interceptions in 2014.
On May 14, 2017, Chris Smithley was promoted from offensive coordinator to interim head coach following the retirement of Rick Shepas.
Smithley pushed his players to the top of the conference in nearly every major return category in 2013. That year, W&J student-athletes ranked first in kick return average, kick return touchdowns and punt return average. In 2015, W&J led the President’s Athletic Conference in punt return average and punt return touchdowns, while finishing second in kick return average.
Over his eight years on the sidelines at Waynesburg University and Washington & Jefferson College, Smithley has coached three All-Americans, a national award finalist, five all-region selections and 27 All-PAC performers (11 first-team picks). He has also helped mentor a combined 23 players of the week on the conference, regional and national levels and has played a role in players receiving six prestigious academic awards.
Smithley holds a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Business Administration degree, both from Waynesburg University. Smithley’s playing career at Waynesburg included two years as quarterback prior to two seasons as a fullback/halfback. He enjoyed his most success on the field as a senior in 2008. That season, he finished third on the team with 23 catches for 158 yards and a touchdown.
Smithley has served as the offensive coordinator for the Yellow Jackets since June 2016. The Bolivar, Pennsylvania, native also served the Jackets as a secondary coach for a year and a defensive line coach for two years between 2009 and 2012.
Smithley currently resides in Washington, Pennsylvania, with his wife, Lindsey.
Before returning to Waynesburg in 2016, Smithley was a member of Washington and Jefferson College’s coaching staff from 2012 to 2016.

finest work was on display in 2007 as Waynesburg featured the top defense in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference. Over the span of 11 games, opponents averaged just 17.8 points per game, 68.1 rushing yards per game and 1.9 yards per carry. Individually, senior defensive end Mike Czerwien led the nation in sacks (23) and tackles for loss (34.5). Another senior, inside linebacker Brendon Steele, also had a memorable final college season as he led the team with 93 tackles with 10.5 TFL, two sacks and three interceptions.
Scott Venick enters his 12th season as Waynesburg’s defensive coordinator and will also work closely with the team’s secondary in 2017. Venick joined the Yellow Jacket staff in the summer of 2006 following a two-year stint at nearby Washington & Jefferson.
Venick got his start in coaching in 1992, serving as defensive coordinator for JeffersonMorgan high School, his alma mater, for five seasons. From there he coached the defense at Ringgold for three seasons before taking the head coaching position of the Rams in 2000.
In 2013, Venick graduated two of Waynesburg’s most impactful defenders in safety Bryan Gary and defensive end Brandon Fedorka. Gary earned the rare distinction of being a fourtime, first-team All-PAC selection. Fedorka was named an Associated Press Little All-American and PAC Defensive Player of the Year.
In two seasons as head coach, he guided Ringgold to an 11-3 conference record, including a Quad West Conference Championship. As a player, Venick was a free safety at Salem College. He is a 1992 graduate of Waynesburg Central High School. He and his wife, Julie, have three daughters, Emily, Kaylin and Riley.
During the 2012 season, Venick’s defense boasted a pair of All-Americans in senior cornerback Sean Hunt and senior defensive lineman Darryl Moore, Jr., while the 2011 Jacket defense led the PAC in sacks (30) and tackles for loss (76).

MUSKINGUM 17 (1-0) WAYNESBURG 16 (0-1) Waynesburg, Pa. John F. Wiley Stadium
Attendance: 1,250 Temperature: 82 Weather: Sunny
Game Notes: Waynesburg battled back from an early 10-0 hole, but unfor-
tunately couldn’t hold its 14-10 advantage as it dropped a heart-breaking one-point decision to open the 2016 schedule. The Yellow Jackets broke up the shutout just before halftime when sophomore quarterback Jake Dougherty found junior running back Alec Watts from two yards away for the season’s first touchdown. The Jackets took their first and only lead of the day when Dougherty and junior wide receiver Mitch Kendra connected on a 52-yard catch-and-run for a score. Unfortunately, the Muskies, which defeated Waynesburg for the first time since 1986, answered with a quick strike of their own on the ensuing possession to score the game-deciding points. Dougherty threw for 203 yards, while sophomore running back Ben Ciero churned out a game-high 73 yards in 12 carries, including a 43-yard scamper.

Pittsburgh, Pa. Gesling Stadium Attendance: 1,131
Temperature: 76 Weather: Overcast
Game Notes: Waynesburg stayed right with the host team from Pittsburgh and took its first lead early in the fourth quarter of the PAC opener for both squads. Unfortunately, the Yellow Jackets couldn’t hold its slim 17-14 advantage, as CMU outscored its opposition 21-7 over the final 11:31 of play. To make the day even more bitter, sophomore starting quarterback Jake Dougherty suffered a season-ending injury in the fourth quarter of the setback. Though their efforts didn’t lead to a win, senior wide receiver Kevin Barnes, Jr. and junior wide out Mitch Kendra combined to reel in 14 caches for 207 yards and a touchdown. Dougherty had one of his most productive games as a Jacket. He completed 22-of-39 attempts for 259 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.

Temperature: 65 Weather: Cloudy
Game Notes: Waynesburg snapped a six-game losing streak that stretched back to 2015 with a come-from-behind road win against the Wolverines. The combined efforts of quarterbacks Tyler Perone and Aaron Jenkins played a major role in pulling out the victory. Perone completed 10-of-18 attempts for 102 yards and the game’s first score, while Jenkins was Waynesburg’s leading rusher (8-61) and scored the game-winning touchdown on a one-yard dive early in the fourth quarter. The Jacket defense was paced by junior linebackers Brent Blacharczyk and Tristan Sandrosky, who combined for 23 tackles, 16 of which were solo stops, and 2.5 tackles for loss. Junior defensive lineman Brad Grinnen piled up three sacks as part of a seven-tackle day.

Waynesburg, Pa. Wiley Stadium Attendance: 1,850
Temperature: 50 Weather: Overcast
Game Notes: After honoring the 1966 NAIA national championship during
a pregame ceremony, the Yellow Jacket defense carved out its own spot in the Waynesburg record book by not allowing Geneva to complete a pass of 60 tense minutes. It was just the second time in school history that particular feat has occurred (1965). The Jackets also recovered four fumbles, the most by any Waynesburg defense since 2002. Transfer freshman Aaron Jenkins made his first collegiate start at quarterback and played every snap. He completed 19-of-32 passes for 190 yards and his team’s only touchdown to senior Kevin Barnes, Jr. Jenkins also rushed for 25 yards on 12 carries. To call Waynesburg’s defensive effort during the one-point win a team effort is an understatement. In all, 21 different defenders recorded stops on the day.

Temperature: 72 Weather: Pleasant
Game Notes: A 97-yard kick return for a touchdown in the third quarter
kept Waynesburg from being shut out by nationally ranked Thomas More. Freshman Ta’Vaughn Johnson took off on a sprint through the Saint kick coverage team with 12:13 left to play in the third quarter to cut into what was then a 17-0 lead for the visiting team. Unfortunately, Thomas More answered by scoring the final 23 points to close out the win. Senior defensive end John Babos’ six-tackle, 2.0 tackles for loss and 1.0 sack performance highlighted the Jacket day. Junior linebacker Brent Blacharczyk racked up a team-high nine tackles. Freshman quarterback Tyler Perone was solid in defeat. He completed 17-of-31 pass attempts for 272 yards and no interceptions.

Temperature: 66 Weather: Cloudy
Game Notes: Waynesburg came up just short of victory in its only night
game of the season. The Yellow Jackets held multiple leads on the evening, but 13-straight Tomcat points over the final 12:53 of play erased a five-point Waynesburg advantage. Though it came in a loss, freshman Tyler Perone threw for the sixth-most yards in program history after exploding for 401 yards against the Thiel defense. Freshman Ta’Vaughn Johnson, senior Kevin Barnes, Jr. and junior Mitch Kendra combined to do the bulk of the work through the air. The trio tallied a total of 18 catches for 357 yards and two touchdowns. Both Barnes and Kendra eclipsed the 100-yard mark in the setback. Sophomore cornerback Justin Willkow paced the defense with eight tackles, all of which were solo stops. Linebacker Michael Heasley totalled seven stops (six solo), including three in the Tomcat backfield.

Game Notes: Waynesburg did a lot of things right in its attempt to upset Washington & Jefferson during the PAC Backyard Brawl. The Yellow Jackets limited star quarterback Pete Coughlin to just 162 yards through the air and held All-American wide receiver Jesse Zubik to five catches for 65 yards. The Jackets opened the scoring with a first-quarter field goal and jumped back ahead with a four-yard touchdown run by sophomore Ben Ciero early in the second quarter. Both teams’ defenses dominated the final 22-plus minutes of play after Coughlin scrambled for a 27-yard touchdown midway through the third quarter. Freshman Ta’Vaughn Johnson matched Zubik with 65 yards on six grabs. The Jacket defense piled up 10 total tackles for loss, 4.0 of which were sacks. Junior defensive end Brad Grinnen notched a sack and 3.0 tackles for loss as part of a five-tackle day.

PRESIDENTS’ ATHLETIC CONFERENCE The Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC), built on the basic belief that an athletic program is an integral part of college life, but not an entity in itself, looks back on sixty years of growth and ahead to years of continued academic and athletic excellence. The league’s name clearly reflects its founding principle that operational control of all aspects of intercollegiate athletics is ultimately the responsibility of the presidents of each member institution, and thus active presidential leadership and oversight is paramount in conference administration. Formally organized in 1955 by Western Reserve University, John Carroll University, Case Institute of Technology, and Wayne State University, the PAC was the result of a realization that college athletics, despite numerous virtues for the individual and the institution, were gradually becoming a financial and academic burden. If athletics were to be continued, action had to be taken to place the program on its proper level. This included the premise that benefits of participation should be provided to as many students as possible. The PAC and its membership continue its original, defining mission of promoting intercollegiate athletics and the pursuit of academic excellence. Institutions involved understand that the key components to its progress lie in the foundation of faith in each member by each other member. It is the conviction of its membership that the PAC is the solution to the dilemma of intercollegiate athletic competition, and they have staked their athletic future on this premise. Currently comprised of 10 select private institutions – Bethany College, Chatham University, Geneva College, Grove City College, Saint Vincent College, Thiel College, Thomas More College, Washington & Jefferson College, Waynesburg University and Westminster College – the PAC remains a unique organization in this day of high pressure intercollegiate athletics, with academics at the center of each member’s philosophy. The PAC expanded its membership to seven members in 2005 with the addition of Thomas More, formerly a NCAA Division III independent. Saint Vincent, a former NAIA member, joined the conference in 2006 as it began its reclassification to NCAA Division III status. Another former NAIA member, Geneva, became the conference’s ninth member and began league play in 2007 as it started its NCAA Division III reclassification. Chatham became the league’s 10th member, also in 2007. In 2012, the PAC Presidents’ Council voted to add Carnegie Mellon University and Case Western Reserve University as affiliate members in the sport of football beginning with the 2014 season. The PAC crowns league champions and awards all-conference honors in its 21 championship sports. Head coaches determine all-PAC squads for all team sports, while in individual sports, such as cross country and tennis, all-PAC accolades are based upon performances at the conference championships. In addition to its 21 sponsored championship sports, the PAC partnered with the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) to create the single-sport Ohio River Lacrosse Conferences (ORLC & ORWLC) in 2014, with both kicking off league schedules during the spring of 2015. The PAC annually awards its men’s and women’s All-Sports Trophies to the schools which perform best across the board in PAC competition. The Thomas More men and Westminster women captured the 2016-17 trophies. Staying true to its original mission of promoting intercollegiate athletics and the pursuit of academic excellence, the PAC has seen nearly 200 of its participating student-athletes recognized as Academic All-Americans, while the league has also produced numerous NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. Last year, the conference named 939 of its student-athletes to the PAC Academic Honor Roll, which recognizes all participating student-athletes who earn a term grade-point average of 3.60 or above.
