LOCK HAVEN, PA – Confirming its 44-24 road win over Edinboro on Saturday, West Chester walked away with a pair of weekly honors in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) on Monday afternoon.
R-Jr., QB,
Colin O'Sullivan (Fort Washington, Pa./Upper Dublin) was named the PSAC East Offensive Player of the Week while R-So., PK,
Tommy Pajic (Marlton, N.J./Cherokee) was named the PSAC East Special Teams Player of the Week.
O'Sullivan finished 14-for-19 for 231 yards and two touchdown passes without any interceptions. O'Sullivan also added a rushing TD. When the dust had settled on the Golden Rams' win, O'Sullivan led West Chester to a score on eight of its nine offensive possessions. He completed 73.7 percent of his passes and posted a 210.5 QB rating for the game.
Pajic went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts and 5-for-5 on extra-point attempts to finish the afternoon with 14 points in West Chester's win over Edinboro. Pajic hit a career-high 45-yarder in the fourth quarter. He also was good on a 31-yarder in the fourth and a 20-yarder in the third. All of that was accomplished after being pressed into service when the Rams' starting place-kicker was sidelined with an illness and could not make the trip to Western PA. Pajic also put three of his nine kickoffs into the end zone for touch backs on the day. He averaged over 58 yards per kickoff.
Pajic's honor marked the second week in a row that a Golden Rams player earned the PSAC East Special Teams player of the week.
Bryan Anderson was recognized last week for his 66-yard touchdown return of a blocked field goal attempt against IUP.
West Chester (2-1) returns home on Saturday for a 2 p.m. contest against Millersville (0-2) on Homecoming Weekend for the Golden Rams and the university. It also marks the first conference affair of the season.
