KUTZTOWN, PA - Dontay Wilson ran for 152 yards and two touchdowns to lead
Kutztown University to a 40-21 win over Cheyney University in a Pennsylvania
State Athletic Conference Eastern Division game.

 

                Wilson scored on runs of 1 and 47 yards, with the latter
coming on the first play of the second half.  He was KU's first back to
reach 100 yards rushing this season.  His 152 yards are a career high.  Kyle
Spotts ran for one score and threw for another, while Ryan Nye scored on a
fake field goal run and booted two field goals of 33 and 26 yards.  Terrell
Davis caught a TD.

 

                Spotts finished 10-of-27 for 161 yards.  Jason Uhlig had
five catches for 91 yards and Davis notched four grabs for 70.  Kutztown's
defense racked up four takeaways, including interceptions by Brian Bingnear
and Justin Gibbs and fumble recoveries by Tom Cressman and Craig Croman.
Bingnear led the defense with 11 tackles.  Greg Rotkowski had two sacks,
while Cressman and Kevin Branco also had sacks.

 

                For Cheyney, Ronald Thompson passed for a TD and ran for
another.  Charles Johnson caught an 18-yarder from Thompson.  Billy Mitchell
scored the Wolves last TD on a 1-yard run.

                

                Mitchell led the Wolves with 78 yards on 20 carries.
Thompson was 12-of-32 for 195 yards.  Johnson had five catches for 54 yards.
Dominique Curry notched three grabs  for 58 yards and Eric Frazier recorded
two grabs for 69 yards.  

 

                Cheyney took an early lead in the first quarter, taking the
opening kick and marching 86 yards on eight plays, capped by Thompson's
one-yard sneak.  

 

                Kutztown answered right back, Chris Diaferio returned the
kick to Cheyney 37, and Spotts hit Davis from 18 yards out five plays later
to tie the score.

 

                After Cheyney fumbled a punt snap on its next possession,
Spotts went from 1 yard out five plays later for a 14-7 lead.  Thompson
fumbled on a Cressman sack, and KU took over at the 12.  Wilson scored from
1 yard out for a 21-7 lead with 11:48 left in the half.

 

                Nye scored on a three-yard run on a fake field goal, but his
PAT missed keeping it 27-7 with 5:09 left in the half.  

 

                KU opened the second half with a flurry.  After a short
kickoff was returned to the Cheyney 47, Wilson bounced to the right side and
scampered 47 yards to paydirt and a 34-7 KU lead 15 seconds into the second
half.  

 

                The Wolves made it 34-14 later in the third on Thompson's
18-yard pass to Johnson.  

 

                KU answered with field goals by Nye on its next two
possessions, upping its lead to 40-14.  Cheyney capped the scoring with 5:26
left in the fourth on Mitchell's 1 yard run.  

 

                Kutztown improves to 4-4 overall, 1-2 in the PSAC East.  The
Golden Bears host Edinboro next Saturday.  Cheyney falls to 1-7, 0-2.  The
