SETON HILL: The Griffins outscored the Vulcans 10-0 in the fourth quarter of action as they rallied to upset the #6 California Vulcans by the score of 16-7.
WEST CHESTER: The second quarter against East Stroudsburg seemed to breathe some air into the Golden Rams as senior quarterback, Cooper Jordan busted off a 52-yard touchdown run and then hit Matthew Iuvara on a 15-yard TD pass that put the home team in front 14-7.
SHEPHERD: Graduate student quarterback Michael Hardyway completed 20-of-29 passes for 332 yards and three touchdowns to lead Shepherd to a 38-23 win over Millersville in PSAC East football action at Millersville on Saturday.
