WILKES FOOTBALL FALLS AT #21 WIDENER, 90-0

CHESTER, PA – The Wilkes University football team saw its first 100+ yard rusher this season as junior Auxence Wogou (Hackettstown, NJ/Hackettstown) went for 116 yards on 20 carries, but the high-powered #21 Widener University offense exploded for 681 yards of total offense to post a 90-0 win over the Colonels in MAC play Saturday afternoon.

Wilkes falls to 1-2 overall and 0-2 in MAC play. Widener remains unbeaten at 4-0 and moves to 3-0 in league games.

The Widener offense needed little time gaining momentum taking a 7-0 lead after a Robert Getz two-yard touchdown run on its first possession. The Wilkes defense caused its only turnover of the game when DJ Shuttleworth (Leesport, PA/Schuylkill Valley) intercepted Widener quarterback Chris Haupt midway through the first quarter setting the Colonels up at the Widener 34. The Colonel offense struggled throughout the contest, not converting a point with the positive field position after failing to pick up a first down on the drive.

From there, the Pride scored touchdowns on its next twelve possessions including five through the air as Haupt finished with six touchdown tosses on 21-for-27 passing and 415 yards.

Wogou led the Colonel offense with his best outing of the season going for over 100 yards for the first time this year. Quarterback Alex George (York, PA/West York) started under center going 11-for-23 for 76 yards and two interceptions. He added 29 yards rushing mostly on set quarterback draws.

Sophomore tight end Drew Devitt (Sinking Spring, PA/Wilson) was the top Colonel receiver finishing with three catches for 24 yards.

On defense, Tyler Thomas (Easton, PA/Easton), Jake Sarson (Belvidere, NJ/Belvidere), Tate Moore-Jacobs (New Cumberland, PA/Cedar Cliff), and Ty Cunningham (Orefield, PA/Northwestern Lehigh) each contributed six tackles.

Wilkes (1-2, 0-2 MAC) returns home next Saturday to host FDU-Florham at Schmidt Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m.
