KUTZTOWN, PA –
Colin O'Sullivan (Fort Washington, Pa. / Upper Darby) completed 32 of 44 passes for 230 yards and one touchdown without an interception for West Chester, while WR,
Dylan McKenzie (Oreland, Pa. / Springfield (MONTCO)) led the Golden Rams' with seven catches for 69 yards, but it was not enough for West Chester to overcome No. 3 Kutztown Saturday at Andre Reed Stadium.
West Chester (4-4, 1-3 PSAC East) crawled to within 10 points of Kutztown (8-0, 4-0), but dug itself too big of a hole to get out of on Kutztown's Homecoming Weekend. The Golden Rams put together an 18-play, 63-yard touchdown drive in the third quarter to make it 34-14, but the deficit followed a stretch before halftime in which Kutztown built a 34-7 lead.
The Golden Bears jumped out to a 27-0 lead before the Golden Rams could get on the board with just under two minutes to go in the first half. Mosley hauled in a 23-yard pass from O'Sullivan capping a 6-play, 58-yard drive to make it 27-7. Unfortunately, Kutztown returned the ensuing kickoff 30 yards and was aided by a personal foul that started the Bears' drive at the West Chester 48-yard line. It took the hosts 74 seconds to get in the end zone and take a 37-7 lead into the break.
West Chester H-back,
Efrain Quiles (Horsham, Pa. / Lansdale Catholic), plunged into the end zone from one yard out, for his first score on the season, with 6:28 to play in the third quarter to make it 34-14. Kutztown scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter to close out the scoring at 41-14.
The Golden Rams compiled 230 yards of total offense and scored on both of its red-zone trips, while Kutztown finished with 446 yards, including 281 on the ground.
Adrien Mosley (Glen Allen, Va. / Glen Allen) caught four passes for 39 yards and a touchdown.
Up next, the Golden Rams travel to Bloomsburg on Halloween for a 2 p.m. kickoff at Danny Hale Field at Redman Stadium against the Huskies.
