Box Score SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. - QB
Pat Moriarty (Gladwyne, Pa./Harriton) went 19-for-38 for 244 and one touchdown, but threw three interceptions that were too much for visiting West Chester (4-3, 2-1 PSAC East) to overcome in a 27-11 defeat at the hands of host Shippensburg (5-2, 2-1) Saturday afternoon at Seth Grove Stadium.
Brandon Monk (West Grove, Pa./Avon Grove) rushed for 73 yards, and
Eddie Elliott (Bethlehem, Pa./Freedom) caught five passes for 75 yards. But, the Golden Rams could not get into the end zone until just under five minutes remained in the game.
Shippensburg QB Ryan Zapoticky threw TD passes of 41 yards and 38 yards 1:41 apart in the third quarter to turn a 10-3 Raiders advantage into a 24-3 edge, and West Chester's offense could not answer until late in the game.
Jim Hurley (Wayne, Pa./St. Joseph's Prep) finally caught a TD pass with 4:16 left in the game, and Monk caught the 2-point conversion try for the Rams' final points. West Chester's 11 points against Shippensburg were the fewest scored against the Raiders since 1931.
West Chester returns home next Saturday for Homecoming against Bloomsburg. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m.
