Dr. Edward Matejkovic begins his 14th year as the director of athletics at West Chester University.

Under his guidance, West Chester’s athletic program has soared to unprec-edented heights, accomplishing goals never before imagined. The Golden Rams captured fi ve Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) team titles during both the 2006-07 and 2007-08 campaigns.As a result, West Chester has claimed runner-up plaudits in the Dixon Trophy standings and placed a school-best 12th nationally in the U.S. Sports Academy Director’s Cup Division II standings.

In the spring of 2008, West Chester’s women’s lacrosse squad won its second national championship in the last seven seasons, reaching the title game for the fi fth consecutive year. The men’s swimming squad also matched its highest fi nish at the 2008 NCAA Division II Swimming & Diving championships with a third-place show-ing.

Scholarship allotments have grown, along with the number of full-time coaching positions across West Chester’s 24 intercollegiate programs. All of these changes have helped the university achieve its unparalleled suc-cess on the fi eld.

Additionally, Matejkovic has helped spearhead a facility upgrade movement at the university that has resulted major upgrades to the newly dedicated Vonnie Gros Field behind Sturzebecker Health Science Center and a brand new state-of-the-art track surface at John A. Farrell Stadium. In conjunction with the new track surface, Farrell Stadium’s football fi eld received a brand new playing surface as the natural grass was replaced with FieldTurf.

Matejkovic’s experience and success as an athletic administrator have earned him involvement in several conference and regional committees. Most recently, he was elected president of the D2 Athletic Director’s As-sociation by his peers. Matejkovic is a past president of the PSAC Executive Committee and continues to serve the PSAC on numerous other committees. He is also a member of the ECAC Board of Directors and the ECAC Finance Committee. He served as president of the ECAC during 2002-03.

An active member of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), Matejkovic served on the NCAA Student Athlete Reinstatement Committee, the NCAA Division II East Region men’s bas-ketball championship selection committee. He also served on the NCAA Football Task Force – a committee reviewing scholarship allocations in the sport.

The Coatesville, Pa., native earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from WCU, and his doctorate in Sports Administration/Athletic Facility Management from Temple University. Matejkovic joined the staff of SUNY Brockport in 1984 where he fi rst served as an assistant professor and coordinator of the sport management program.

As head football coach from 1986-94, he racked up more wins in a single season, and in a career, than any coach in the school’s history.

In 1990, he was named Brockport’s athletic director and promptly turned the program around in just four years. Along with the successful Golden Eagles football team, Brockport’s wrestling program won a national title and its volleyball team captured four straight SUNYAC crowns.

On September 22, 2001, Matejkovic was inducted into the Brockport Athletics Hall of Fame. In June of 2003, he was selected to the Temple University “Gallery of Success.”

Matejkovic resides in Exton, Pa., with his wife, Debra (WCU ’82). He has two daughters, Jennifer Fitzgerald and Leigh (WCU ’98) Martini and one son, Jude. He is also the proud grandfather of two grandchildren: Max Edward Martini and Audrey Judith Fitzgerald, who were both born in 2008.

Beginning July 1, 2008, Dr. Linda L. Lamwers, West Chester University’s provost and vice president for academic affairs, assumed the duties of interim president. She will serve in that position while the University conducts a search for a new president. Dr. Lamwers came to West Ches-ter University as provost and vice presi-dent for academic affairs in 1995. Her re-sponsibilities have included oversight of an $80 million budget and fi ve colleges (Arts and Sciences, Visual and Perform-

ing Arts, Education, Health Sciences, and Business and Public Affairs), the Honors College, the Offi ce of Graduate Studies and Extended Educa-tion, the University’s library, international studies, admissions, fi nancial aid, the registrar, and student support services. During her tenure at West Chester, she has co-chaired the Univer-sity’s strategic planning process, supported the development of several new academic programs in response to local and regional needs, and fa-cilitated regional and global partnerships with a variety of educational in-stitutions and businesses. As a result of her leadership, the University has also strengthened its academic programs through accreditation initiatives and the assessment of student learning outcomes. In addition, she helped to establish a summer minority teaching program, oversaw expansion of the University’s Frederick Douglass Institute to the other 13 schools in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, and has worked with faculty to enhance teaching, research, service, and outreach. Dr. Lamwers completed her undergraduate studies in psychology at Douglass College and earned her master of science and doctorate in Cognitive and Developmental Psychology from Rutgers University. Her research has been in the areas of cognitive psychology, educational out-comes, pedagogy, planning for diversity, and minority student leadership development. Most recently, she has focused on broad higher education issues. She has published numerous articles and given more than 100 pre-sentations at regional, national, and international professional meetings. On the regional and national level, Dr. Lamwers is a member of the Finance and Development Committee of the American Council on Educa-tion Fellows Board, reviews periodic review reports for the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, and serves on the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education Tuition Equity Task Force. In the communi-ty, she has long been active in the Chester County March of Dimes and is a founding member of the Chester County Futures Board, which oversees scholarship and academic programs for talented high-risk, low-income high school students.

wcu and the ncaa tournament Since the NCAA began crowning a nation-al champion in Division II in 1973, West Ches-ter has made its presence known on the national stage. However, the bulk of that presence has been established within the last two decades as the Golden Rams’ gridders have reached post-season play six times during that span, includ-ing the previous four years consecutively. Before 1973, there was no Division II foot-ball championship. Instead, four regional bowl games were played in order to provide postsea-son action for what then were called NCAA col-lege division member institutions. West Chester competed in the East Region bowl game (known as the Tangerine Bowl) in both 1966 and 1967. Those games were played in Orlando, Fla. In eight years of reaching the NCAA Di-vision II postseason football tournament, West Chester University boasts an overall record of 4-8. All four playoff victories have come under current head coach Bill Zwaan during his fi ve-year tenure at the school.

Danny Hale, currently the head coach at Bloomsburg University, fi rst guided West Ches-ter to the NCAAs in 1988, losing to Jacksonville State in the fi rst round. The following year, Rick Daniels steered the Golden Rams back to the promised land, dropping a triple-overtime thriller at Portland State in the opening round. Daniels would re-turn to the playoffs in both 1992 and 1994, but could never get past the fi rst round. Zwaan took over control of the program in 2003, and after an 8-3 campaign that was not good enough for postseason play, hasn’t missed the NCAA Tournament since. In 2004, Zwaan guided his charges to a school record 11-win season, and West Chester University advanced all the way to the national semifi nals picking up the school’s fi rst postsea-son victory in the process. The Golden Rams dispatched C.W. Post, Shippensburg and East Stroudsburg that year before falling to Valdosta State in the semifi nals.

head coach bill zwaan Bill Zwaan begins his sixth season as head coach of the Golden Rams after leading West Chester University to the NCAA Di-vision II play-offs for the fourth consec-utive season in 2007, includ-ing a trip to the

national semifi nals for the fi rst time in school history in 2004. West Chester fi nished 9-3 last fall with a PSAC East Division title in tow, marking the second division crown for the Golden Rams under Zwaan’s tutelage and the second straight nine-win campaign. As a result, West Chester University captured the Lambert Cup as the Di-vision II team of the year in the ECAC. In fi ve full years on West Chester’s side-line, Zwaan has masterminded a 45-18 (.714) record, won two division titles, earned four trips to the NCAA II playoffs and is one of only a handful of coaches to lead two programs to the national semifi nals at two different levels. He sports an overall record of 99-32 (.756) in 12 years as a college football head coach. His 45 victories at West Chester University is fourth all-time on the school’s charts while his .714 winning percentage ranks sixth all-time at the institution among coaches who spent at least three years in that position. After guiding the Golden Rams to a 9-4 mark in 2006, including a fi rst-round victory on the road over Bryant in the NCAA II postsea-son, West Chester captured its second Lambert Cup in the last three years and third overall as the top team in the East in Division II. In 2004, Zwaan was chosen the Pennsylva-nia State Athletic Conference Eastern Division coach of the year as his club posted a school-record 11 victories against just four losses. The Golden Rams won the PSAC East, captured the Division II Lambert Trophy for the fi rst time since 1967 and claimed an NCAA Division II playoff victory for the fi rst time in the history of the program. The former Widener University head foot-ball coach and director of athletics took over the Golden Rams’ coaching reins in February of 2003. In just fi ve short seasons, the former quarterback out of the University of Delaware has authored a 4-4 postseason record at West Chester while setting the school mark for post-season appearances at four. In 2002, Zwaan completed his sixth year as head coach of perennial NCAA Division III powerhouse Widener by leading the Pioneers to their third consecutive Middle Atlantic Confer-

ence championship with a 9-1 mark. Widener shared the honor with King’s College (Wilkes-Barre, Pa.) that year. Zwaan owns the highest winning percent-age in school history at Widener with a .794 ledger (54-14). In 2001, he guided Widener to its second straight MAC title and a spot in the national quarterfi nals. He produced the fi rst un-defeated regular season in 20 years and reached second in the Division III national polls for fi ve weeks during the campaign. In addition to being named the Middle At-lantic Conference and Region II coach of the year in 2000 and again in 2001, Zwaan was named the Tri-State Region coach of the year by the Maxwell Football Club and was also hon-ored as the American Football Monthly coach of the year. Widener won a dozen games in both the 2001 (12-1) and 2000 (12-2) seasons and the Pioneers advanced to the NCAA Division III national semifi nals in 2000. That year, Wid-ener also captured the Division III Lambert Cup and also won the Eastern College Athletic Conference Division III team of the year award. Zwaan’s accolades in the 2000 season culmi-nated with him receiving the Good Guy Award from the Delaware County Daily Times. The long-time mentor was honored with induction into the Delaware County chapter of the Pennsylvania State Hall of Fame this past July. Zwaan has produced 13 All-Americans and four academic All-Americans, while wide receiver Michael Coleman became the fi rst Widener player drafted by the NFL in 20 years (2002). Jim Jones, who helped form the most formidable receiving tandem in the country, signed a free agent contract following the draft. Standout player T.J. Hess received two of the highest honors in the nation as he was named Academic All-America of the Year for the col-lege division (Divisions II, III, NAIA) and was one of 16 recipients of an $18,000 postgradu-ate scholarship from the National Football Foun-dation and College Hall of Fame. Zwaan’s football coaching career began at Monsignor Bonner High School where he was the offensive coor-dinator from 1977-79. He later served stints at the University of Cin-cinnati, coaching the defensive backs, and at the U.S. Merchant Ma-

gerald toney mike furlong Gerald Toney begins his 15th year as an as-sistant coach at his alma mater, West Chester University, with a brand new role on the Golden Rams’ coaching staff. Toney will take over the high-powered offense constructed by head coach Bill Zwaan as West Chester’s offensive coordi-nator. He will also reprise his role as the team’s recruiting coordinator. Toney inherits an offense from Zwaan, who fi lled the dual role as team’s head coach and of-fensive coordinator for the past fi ve years, that ranked fourth in total offense by racking up 405

yards per game on average a year ago. West Chester ranked sixth in the PSAC in scoring with a 32.0 points per game average as well. That explo-sive attack was fueled by the Rams’ passing game that averaged 258 yards per game, ranking third in the conference. The long-time mentor will have to rebuild that offensive attack around a very young and inexperienced offensive line, which will be pro-tecting a fi fth-year quarterback, who has thrown just 18 passes in nine games during his collegiate career. It will be Toney’s task to teach West Chester’s young group Zwaan’s Wing-T offense, and expectations will be high to duplicate some of the numbers that the Golden Rams’ scoring unit has produced over the past few years. Toney moves into his new role after years serving as the special teams coach for the Golden Rams. Over the last decade and a half, West Chester has boasted one of the conference’s top special teams units year after year. His experience and expertise with coverages and returns has been a big reason for West Chester’s success over that same period. Toney is the second-longest

tenured coach on the staff of Bill Zwaan, trailing only defensive coordinator Mike

Furlong’s 19 years of service to West Chester University. It’s that longevity on the sideline that has also provided consistency to the Golden Rams’ grid-

iron gang. With such a young offen-

sive group to work with, Toney’s challenge will be to maintain the high-powered, big-strike offense that has come to characterize West Chester football in the

Zwaan era. A four-year letterwinner

and member of two NCAA Division II playoff teams at

West Chester, Toney was cho-sen by his teammates to serve as team captain in 1989. During his senior season, he was select-ed All-PSAC East and an ECAC Division II All-Star. He was the school’s special teams player of

the year in 1987. Toney currently resides in

Wilmington, Del.

Mike Furlong returns for his 19th season on West Chester’s sideline this fall in his familiar role as the Golden Rams’ defensive coordinator for the 16th consecutive year. Furlong’s other duties have shifted slightly as the veteran mentor slid over to tutor the defensive backs after nearly two decades of overseeing the team’s linebackers. He also serves as the squad’s academics coordinator. Last fall, West Chester’s stop unit ranked fi fth in the PSAC overall and third in scoring defense. Furlong has been charged with the task of improv-

ing a unit that ranked eighth overall in pass defense a year ago and loses its all-league free safety (Mike Mignogno), who led the conference in interceptions and tied for the league lead in passes defensed. West Chester’s run defense ranked fourth in the conference, allowing just 123 rushing yards per game. Furlong’s defensive strategy helped the Rams rank fi rst overall in opponent’s fourth-down conversion percentage (30.8). WCU’s defense ranked fourth overall in opponent’s third-down conversion percentage (44.5). During Furlong’s 19-year career on West Chester’s sideline, he has mentored the school’s top two career tackling leaders in Lateef Ferguson and former NFL linebacker Lee Woodall. The Golden Rams’ defense ranked third in the conference in turn-over margin (+12) in 2006, thanks in large part to the play of the team’s linebacking unit, which featured Ferguson and another inside ‘backer who transferred to a Division I Top 20 program at West Virginia. Ferguson earned d2Football.com second team All-America acco-lades in 2006 and was selected as the PSAC’s defensive player of the year in each of the past two campaigns. Four times a Golden Ram has been named PSAC defensive player of the year during Furlong’s reign. Ben Tonon, sixth on the school’s all-time tackles chart, won back-to-back honors in 1996 and 1997. West Chester ranked seventh in the conference in 2006 in scor-ing defense, reached the NCAA II playoffs for the third consecu-tive season and took home the ECAC’s Lambert Cup for the second time in the past three years. Furlong arrived at WCU after two successful seasons as the head coach of Cuba High School in Cuba, N.Y. A 1986 grad-uate of Canisius College in Buffalo, N.Y., with a degree in Physical Education, Furlong was a wide receiver for the Golden Griffs for three years. He and his wife, Julie, and their children, Megan and Shawn, reside in Honeybrook, Pa.

assistant coaching staffJim Brazill Sr.

Tight Ends/StrengthJim Brazill Sr., enters his fourth season at his

alma mater as an assistant coach for the Golden Rams this season. He will serve as the tight ends coach and will handle all of the strength and conditioning duties for the team.

A 1975 graduate of West Chester University, Brazill holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s de-gree in Physical Education from the university. He was a linebacker for the Golden Rams during his

undergraduate years in the mid 1970s for legendary mentor John Furlow.Brazill will begin his 34th year of teaching at Salesianum (Del.) High

School this fall and had spent nearly three decades on the coaching staff at that institution before jumping on board at West Chester University where both of his sons (Jim Jr. and Mike) attended and played on the football team. He served for 11 years as the head coach, taking his team to the Delaware High School state championship in 1993 at Salesianum.

A resident of Coatesville, Pa., Brazill’s eldest son, Jim, is in his third year on West Chester’s coaching staff this fall. The younger Brazill was a team captain and an All-PSAC East selection for WCU in 2004. Brazill’s other son, Mike, graduated from West Chester University in May 2008.

Jim Brazill Jr.Asst. Offensive Line

Jim Brazill Jr. enters his third season on West Chester’s staff, working with the offensive line, along with helping out with recruiting and video responsibilities.

Brazill’s father, Jim Sr., is also a member of the Golden Rams’ coaching staff. The elder Bra-zill is in charge of the tight ends and strength and conditioning within the program.

A 2006 graduate of West Chester University, Brazill starred on the the Golden Rams’ offensive line as a two-time all-league performer as well as a Daktronics, Inc., All-Northeast Region selection.

The third-year mentor for West Chester’s men in the trenches helped the Rams reach the NCAA II playoffs in each of the past two seasons, featuring one of the top offensive lines in the conference.

Brazill has helped out with Glen Mills’ high school football program while serving as a teacher and counselor for delinquent youths in the school district. His younger brother, Mike, graduated from West Chester University last May and was a member of the Golden Rams’ gridders as well.

Jack KlebeRunning Backs

Jack Klebe returns to West Chester University for his fi fth season after spending the previous eight years coaching the receivers and running backs at Widener University.

Klebe accepts a new role as the Golden Rams’ running backs coach after mentoring the wide receivers in his fi rst four years. His star pupil on the perimeter, Michael Washington, broke the school’s all-time receiving yards mark as a junior

and should shatter most of the school’s pass catching records before he graduates this coming May.

Washington stands three touchdown receptions shy of the school record while threatening many PSAC marks as well.

West Chester placed fourth overall in the PSAC a year ago in total offense and third in passing offense. The Golden Rams placed second in scoring offense and fi fth in passing offense in the PSAC in 2006. Much of that is a credit to the wide receivers on the outside.

Junior wide out Steven Miller has emerged as another deep threat in West Chester’s offense under Klebe’s tutelage along with Darryl Canty. The Rams’ receiving corp is widely considered one of the most dangerous in all of the PSAC. Five of Miller’s seven TD receptions were from greater than 20 yards out while seven of Washington’s 12 TD catches were from greater than 40 yards away.

However, head coach Bill Zwaan has asked his former Widener assis-tant to sprinkle some of that coaching magic on a stable of running backs that show tremendous potential. Zwaan and Klebe enter their 11th year together and the veteran head coach would not trust his running game to any other.

Prior to his coaching duties at Widener, Klebe was the head coach at Bensalem High School for eight seasons.

From 1971-74, Klebe served as an assistant coach at Youngstown State where he mentored former Philadelphia Eagles’ Pro Bowl quarterback and current ESPN football analyst, Ron Jaworski.

Klebe played quarterback at N.C. State where he graduated in 1969. He was a member of the winning Liberty Bowl team that defeated Georgia, 14-7, in 1967 and he quarterbacked the 1968 ACC champion Wolfpack.

Klebe resides in Levittown, Pa., with his wife Elizabeth. He has a daughter, Yvonne (Foote), and a son, Jay.

Brandon NobleDefensive Line/Strength

Brandon Noble is in his third season on West Chester University’s staff. This fall, he switches from his duties as a linebackers coach to mentor the defensive front line and assist with strength and conditioning drills.

The former NFL defensive lineman helped defensive coordinator Mike Furlong tutor a very talented linebacking corp last fall. He now takes

all that he has learned and will apply it to the Golden Rams’ defensive line, which is one of the deepest and most talented units returning on the defensive side of the ball.

A 1998 graduate of Penn State University with a degree in Criminal Justice, Noble spent seven seasons in the NFL, including three with the Washington Redskins (2003-05) and four with the Dallas Cowboys (1999-2002). He was a three-year starter at defensive end for the Cowboys and received the Ed Block Courage Award while with the Redskins.

Noble also played in NFL Europe with the Barcelona Dragons, making the All-World team and playing in the 1999 World Bowl Championship.

A three-year starter at Penn State, Noble was the defensive MVP of the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, served as a team captain, and played on the 1994 undefeated Rose Bowl squad. He earned All-Big Ten second team honors while at PSU.

Nick SamaOffensive Line

The 2008 season will be the sixth for Nick Sama with West Chester University. The veteran mentor will again coach the offensive line for head coach Bill Zwaan and the Golden Rams.

Sama faces the daunting task of molding a very young and inexperienced group of offensive linemen into one cohesive unit.

Sama jumped over to West Chester University from Widener University, along with head coach

Bill Zwaan, and the two enter their 12th season together. Sama has been in charge of Zwaan’s offensive line in each of those 12 campaigns.

At Widener, Sama coached the offensive line for 19 years in the highly-regarded Middle Atlantic Conference, winning nine championships. He also has coached in several Eastern College Athletic Conference and NCAA Division III playoff games while his tutoring has produced numerous all-conference and All-America linemen.

The 1973 graduate of West Catholic High School in Philadelphia re-ceived multiple postseason commendations, including all-catholic, all-city, all-state and all-scholastic honors.

Sama was chosen to the 1970’s “Philadelphia Team of the Decade,” and he was selected Philadelphia Area person of the year in 1991. In 1992 Sama was honored by his alma mater and inducted into the West Catholic High School Hall of Fame.

E.J. SanduskyLinebackers/Special Teams

E.J. Sandusky is in his second season on the coaching staff of the Golden Rams. He will over-see development of the team’s outside linebackers and the special teams unit.

Sandusky came to West Chester after 11 years at Albright College in Reading, Pa., including the last 10 as its head coach. Sandusky guided the Lions to a co-conference championship in

1997 and racked up 50 wins on their sideline – second-most victories in school history. Albright also won three ECAC championship games during Sandusky’s tenure.

Sandusky is a 15-year veteran of the coaching profession and a member of the American Football Coaches Association since 1993. He also spent tours of duty as a graduate assistant on Mack Brown’s North Carolina staff from 1993-95 and Western Carolina from 1995-96.

During his 15 years of coaching college football, Sandusky has coor-dinated recruiting efforts all along the East Coast, stretching from Penn-sylvania down to Georgia.

A 1992 graduate of Penn State University, he was the starting center on the Nittany Lions team that participated in the 1993 Blockbuster Bowl and a letterwinner for the 1992 Fiesta Bowl Champions who defeated Tennessee, 42-17. Sandusky was also a member of 1989 Holiday Bowl Champions that topped BYU, 50-39, and the 1990 Blockbuster Bowl participants.

Mike LuxLinebackers/Video CoordinatorMike Lux begins his fourth season at West

Chester University on the staff of head coach Bill Zwaan. He will serve as the Golden Rams’ inside linebackers coach and video coordinator.

Lux spent the previous three years as the team’s defensive line coach and academic coordinator. With his new responsibilities, he inherits a unit from defensive coordinator Mike Furlong that is

widely considered one of the top linebacking groups in the conference.Mike Dell returns from a broken leg this fall. He was named second

team all-league despite appearing in just fi ve games a year ago. The inside backers will also be bolstered by the return of T.J. Cascio to the fold.

Last season, Lux helped Vlad Garbovsky lead the nation in forced fumbles from his spot on the end of the defensive line. The Golden Rams ranked fi fth in the PSAC in total defense and fi fth in sacks. Garbovsky, Michael Walter and reserve Travis Ford-Bey were all named to the all-league squad from West Chester’s defensive front wall.

West Chester ranked seventh in rushing defense in 2007 (132.1 rush yds/game) and tied for fi fth in total number of sacks (24).

During his career, he has served as an assistant coach at Saint Francis (Pa.) University, handling the defensive line in 2004 and coaching the of-fensive line in 2002 and 2003.

new faces and new expectations New responsibilities for the coaching staff and brand new starting personnel on the offen-sive side of the ball highlight West Chester Uni-versity football as the gridders prepare to break camp on Aug. 7 to begin the 2008 campaign. Three offensive starters return to a squad that averaged 32 points per game and 406 yards of total offense per game a year ago. Head coach Bill Zwaan, entering his sixth season at the helm of the Golden Rams, faces perhaps his toughest challenge in replenishing one of the Pennsyl-vania State Athletic Conference’s top offenses and guiding his charges to back-to-back Eastern Division titles and a spot in the rekindled PSAC Championship Game on Nov. 8. West Chester University captured its sixth PSAC East title, and second in the Zwaan era, last fall before bowing to PSAC West rival In-diana (Pa.) in the fi rst round of the NCAA II playoffs. Another 9-3 season and the school’s unprecendented fi fth straight trip to the NCAA Tournament must be accomplished with a new backfi eld, including a junior quarterback, who has thrown just 11 college passes amidst an in-jury-plagued career. Zwaan’s fi rst step in the rebuilding pro-cess was to juggle responsibilities across most of his coaching staff. For the fi rst time in his tenure at West Chester University, Zwaan has handed over control of the offense to 15-year coaching veteran Gerald Toney. The WCU grad takes over as offensive coordinator, leaving the special teams to E.J. Sandusky. Jack Klebe, re-sponsible for the Rams’ talented pool of wide receivers his fi rst four years at West Chester, takes on the challenge of tutoring the running backs while Jim Brazill Sr., will coach the tight ends. Only Nick Sama, entering his sixth year at WCU and 12th overall teamed with Zwaan, holds on to his familiar role as the offensive line coach. With a bulls-eye on their backs as the pre-

season favorite in the East, Zwaan hopes that veteran leadership on his coaching staff can mold a young offense into a quick-strike, dan-gerous unit much like last year’s group. Much of that will depend on how junior Joe Wright does at the quarterback position. All of West Chester’s opponents know what, or rather “who” returns at wide receiver for the Golden Rams. Senior Mike Washington will be the focal point of the team’s offense with-out a doubt. The explosive wideout is threaten-ing every school, league and NCAA receiving record in the books. However, getting him the ball may be the challenge. Wright is coming off multiple knee op-erations, and the biggest question surrounding West Chester’s only experienced signal-caller in camp is his durability. Injuries have limited him to just nine appearances in his career and 18 pass attempts. Wright received a medical red-shirt from the NCAA for last season, gain-ing an extra year of eligibility, thus allowing him to retain his junior playing status. Zwaan is not worried about his No. 1 quarterback, though – assuming he stays healthy. “He is the guy that we always expected would be our quarterback,” Zwaan said. “He will be very good. He is mobile, has a strong arm and he is really smart. He has all the quali-ties you look for out of a quarterback. “He still has to do it out on the fi eld. He hasn’t had that true game experience in crucial situations, which you like to have. But, I think our players look to him as a leader. If Joey is healthy, we will be fi ne at quarterback.” Behind Wright are two red-shirt freshmen, who impressed the coaching staff during spring practice. Lefty Jared Jorgensen and Marshall Vogel will battle it out for the No. 2 spot as both continue their development at the college level. Jorgensen enters camp slated second on the depth chart with Vogel third. The southpaw

possesses the abil-ity to run, adding another dimen-sion to the Rams’ offense. “ W e can do some neat things with (Jor-gensen) running the ball,” Zwaan noted. “He is ex-citing because he really can run. If he had to take over the offense, we would look to do some differ-ent things offen-sively. But, we are happy with both of their pro-gressions.”

Keeping Wright healthy and giving him time to fi nd open receivers while blocking for a very talented group of running backs is a young and inexperienced offensive line. As many as three red-shirt freshmen are slated to start on opening day as camp breaks in August. Admit-tedly, that is not an ideal situation for Zwaan and his staff. However, he has the utmost confi dence in Sama to turn this battalion into a fi erce unit. “If you asked me, ‘Do I want to start three red-shirt freshmen?’ I’d say, ‘No.’” Zwaan joked. “But all of them are good football play-ers. We will take our lumps a little bit with mis-takes that freshmen make. That’s just part of the process.” Senior center Kennis Jones returns to an-chor the young unit in the middle. The three-time all-conference performer was rumored to be moving to guard. However, the coaching staff felt his presence and calming infl uence at center would help the unit grow. Next to Jones are two of the three red-shirt freshmen. Kyle O’Neill, younger brother of former Golden Ram Kevin O’Neill, and Gerry Penrose fl ank Jones at the guard positions. Both will get their fi rst taste of college football Aug. 30 against nationally ranked Cal. But, Zwaan says he is really looking forward to watching them play. Each is coming off an excellent spring and improving every day. Red-shirt freshmen Chris Faix and Eric Hawthorne will battle it out for the starting spot at right tackle. Zwaan said that both will see playing time. It is just a matter of who will settle in comfortably as the starter fi rst. Protecting Wright’s back side will be junior Bryan Staerk. Though, technically not a returning starter, Staerk was West Chester’s third tackle a year ago and saw plenty of playing time almost ev-ery other offensive series. He has the most game experience on the line after Jones. Fellow junior P.J. Gallo will back up Pen-rose at one of the guard positions. Classmates Bill Benscoter and Matt Gounaris may fall in behind Staerk up front as well. Gounaris is a converted tight end, who could see time out there as well in the early going. However, the coaching staff feels he will eventually settle in at tackle. Slotted in behind O’Neill on the pre-season depth chart is true freshman Tim Gram-lich. How quickly he adjusts to the college game will determine whether or not he remains in that spot. Though, the coaching staff is really excited about his future. The running game was hit by the gradua-tion of Osagie Osunde, who leaves the program as its third all-time leading rusher and second all-time leader in career all-purpose yards. Re-placing him are three candidates that are all very talented and should see considerable playing time. Zwaan does not want to have a running-back-by-committee situation. However, he feels all three are very capable. Kevin Garland, Lee Hopkins and D’Andre

Defensive coordinator, Mike Furlong, enters his 19th season along the Golden Rams sideline. After years of mentoring the team’s linebackers, he will switch to the defensive backs as one of his other duties on West Chester University’s coaching staff.

abound for golden rams in 2008Webb have all been described as No. 1-caliber backs with track-speed. That trio will battle in the preseason for the majority of the car-ries. Hopkins has the most game experience at running back while both Garland and Webb excelled on special teams as return specialists. Garland was named All-PSAC East as a special teamer a year ago. “During spring practice, we felt like we had to keep the offense balanced and make sure we could run the ball,” Zwaan explained. “We ran the ball very well in the spring game. “We understand that we have a lot of talented wide receivers. Are we going to take advantage of that? Sure. But, I don’t know that we can win consistently without establishing the running game.” Hopkins ran for 251 yards and four touch-downs in 2007. He is the team’s leading rusher returning to the fold. The only other back with experience is fullback Pat McDermott, who turned in a breakout season a year ago and looks to be even better in 2008. That duo is expected to open the year behind Wright and that youthful offensive line. Garland and Webb will both fi ght for carries when they are not returning kicks and punts. “I think we are approaching the situation like we have three guys who will all play,” Zwaan commented. “But, it is hard for one run-ner to get a feel for the game if he is not getting the majority of carries. So, we have to be careful about that.” When the conversation turns to the perim-eter, Zwaan’s face lights up like a child’s on Christmas Day – and with good reason. Washington gives the Golden Rams faithful quite a bit to smile about. The senior is ninth all-time in Division II with 43 career touchdown receptions. The NCAA re-cord for career receiving yards is within reach as well. Washington is vying to become just the third player in college football history at any level to catch for 1,000 yards in each of his four years in school. He is 485 yards shy of becoming just the 12th player to catch for 4,000 yards in a career in Division II. “We’ve talked about game-planning to put the ball in Washington’s hands because he is such a threat to score every time,” Zwaan beamed. “If he can score every fi ve times he touches the ball,

or whatever he does, than it’s a good thing for him to have the football. Of course, the de-fense knows that and is preparing to take that away from us.” Wa s h i n g -ton actually scores once ev-ery 4.8 times he touches the ball in his career (44 TDs, 211 touch-es). However, he is not the only deep threat on the outside for West Chester. Steve Miller enjoyed a stellar 2007 campaign, fi nishing just one reception shy of Washington for the team lead, and Darryl Canty also showed fl ashes of brilliance. Miller fi nished last year with 682 yards receiving and seven touchdowns on 48 catches. His development split wide opposite Washing-ton makes things that much more diffi cult on the opposition. “Miller went unnoticed last year,” Zwaan said. “I think people will have to make some de-cisions this season, and (as an opposing defense)

if you are going to make a decision, you decide to stop (Wash-ington) because he is so dangerous. Miller will defi nitely have opportunities with the football. Steve can do all the things Mike does. It is just that Mike is so much more fl ashier.” Canty registered 167 yards on eight catches, including a 44-yard TD strike against Clarion. His emergence at the X-position, along with red-shirt freshman Will Gardner, just adds fuel to the passing game. But, no passing game is effective without a quarterback that can deliver the ball and an offensive line that can block. “Again, we have

a young offensive line and pass-blocking is harder to learn than run-blocking,” Zwaan men-tioned. “As much as we would like to throw the ball all over the place, we may not be doing that if we can’t pass block.” An added threat to the passing game is Ryan Paulson, whose emergence at tight end has giv-en West Chester University just one more bullet in its arsenal against defenses. Paulson snared 26 passes for 356 yards and four touchdowns. He should see more balls his way in 2008 as he continues to state his case for all-league plau-dits. Eight starters return to a unit that ranked fi fth in the conference a year ago overall and third in scoring defense, allowing just 23 points per game. West Chester University’s stop unit will rely heavily on its front seven. Not only to keep the opposition in check, but to give the of-fense a boost with big plays at opportune times. Questions inhabit the team’s secondary. Howev-er, the down linemen and linebackers are some of the most talented in the PSAC. Michael Walter, James Thorpe and Travis Ford-Bey make up the fi rst line of defense in the Golden Rams’ 3-4 alignment. Walter was a fi rst team All-PSAC East defensive end, who regis-tered three sacks and four QB hurries in 2007. He is back as a co-captain and ready to domi-nate the line of scrimmage. “We are expecting a better year out of Walter,” Zwaan boasted. “Between James and (reserve) Scott Schiavo, we are going to get as good a play out of the nose position as we have had in recent years.” Ford-Bey is a sophomore with a load of talent. He was selected second team all-league last fall as a reserve end. This year, he will step into a starting role and complement Walter on the other end of the line. Leading the linebackers and anchoring the inside is junior Mike Dell. He will all but erase

Senior WR, Mike Washington, is on the verge of breaking many WCU, PSAC and NCAA receiv-ing records in his fi nal year of college football. He is vying to become the all-time leader in Division II history in touchdown receptions.

Junior QB, Joey Wright, inherits West Chester Uni-versity’s high-powered offense in 2008. Coming off injury, the Golden Rams hope that Wright can lead WCU to a division title and a spot in the PSAC Championship Game.

defending east champs optimistic

Rams fans’ memories of the school’s all-time leading tackler Lateef Ferguson. Dell placed fourth on the team in tackles a year ago and was named second team All-PSAC East, despite playing just fi ve games. Zwaan is hungry to see what a healthy Dell can accomplish in a full sea-son. “When we lost Mike last year,” Zwaan started. “It really hurt us. The players that stepped in did a good job. But, Mike is a special player. As good as Lateef was, if Mike is healthy all year, he could be one of the best linebackers ever to play at West Chester University.” Sharing the inside with Dell will be T.J. Cascio, who returns to the Golden Rams after a one-year hiatus from football and school. Cas-cio put up 56 tackles in 2006 and two sacks. His return strengthens West Chester’s already in-timidating stop unit. On the outside of Dell and Cascio are re-turning starters Sam Scott and Greg Smith. Both are very athletic and very active linebackers, who both can rush the passer or drop back in coverage. Scott was third on the team with 79 tackles, including 12.5 for a loss, and knocked down four passes. He registered four sacks and also forced one fumble. The 6-3 power forward on West Chester’s basketball team has a tremen-dous wing span and can jump out of Farrell Sta-dium. Abe Brooks is a sophomore, who could see some playing time at linebacker as well. He has spent considerable time with the special teams and is quickly proving himself defensively. Morty Hoey and Brad Herr support Dell and Cascio inside. Herr is a red-shirt freshman, who should push Cascio for playing time.

Strong safety Tyler Downes solidifi es a secondary that enters the year with plenty of holes to fi ll due to graduation. Downes was sec-ond on the team in tackles a year ago with 89 stops. He made big plays for the Golden Rams last season and the coaching staff feels he was snubbed when the all-league teams were an-nounced. However, Downes is one of the top returning defensive backs in the PSAC in 2008. Junior Corey Rhood is behind Downes at the strong safety position. He is a very talented defensive back with a lot of game experience. Jeff Broyan inherits the unenviable task of replacing all-league free safety Mike Mig-nogno, who led the conference in interceptions and tied for the league lead in passes defensed. Broyan has patiently waited his turn and this fall is ready to showcase his talent. “(Broyan) has played a ton of football for us,” Zwaan revealed. “He has been on the fi eld in most of our dime packages. He is a smart player, who is not afraid to hit you. He has been waiting for this opportunity.” The biggest dilemma lies with the two corner positions on the perimeter. West Chester graduated its top three corners and must rely on youth and inexperience to take the pressure off the pass rush and the linebackers. Jay Nelson is probably the leading candi-date to patrol one of the corners. He is a junior with game experience. Most of that has been in special packages or on special teams. It’s the special teams that disappointed West Chester a year ago, especially during the end of the season and in the playoffs. Zwaan and his staff have revamped the kick coverage units that broke down a year ago and have vowed not to let the special teams beat the Golden Rams again in 2008. “ W e had multi-ple break-d o w n s , ” Z w a a n explained. “We have addressed some of that in the offseason. We will solve those problems either by s c h e m e , fundamen-tals or per-sonnel. “ I f we have to, we will play more s t a r t e r s . We will

not allow our special teams to beat us. We feel very comfortable with the people that are kick-ing for us. We just have to get comfortable with the people covering the kicks.” Garland was an all-league specialist as a kick returner and punt returner while Alex Walsh was an all-league place-kicker for the Rams. Those two return with Walsh serving as the team’s punter for the second straight cam-paign. Walsh hit on 75 percent of his fi eld goal at-tempts in 2007 and averaged 42 yards per punt in his fi rst year of double duty. He placed eight punts inside the 20-yard line. Garland ranked 49th in the NCAA in kick return average (24.7) and 58th nationally in punt return average (8.1). Webb could also see some assignments as a return man, depending on Gar-land’s involvement with the running game. West Chester University is the preseason favorite to win the Eastern Division in 2008 and earn a trip to the PSAC Championship Game, which is being dusted off and reinstated for the fi rst time since 1987. The Golden Rams won fi ve of the PSAC Championship games held between 1960 and 1987. However, winning another conference crown will be extremely diffi cult. “Kutztown is getting better,” Zwaan point-ed out. “(They) have a solid team coming back. East Stroudsburg has a bunch of guys returning. They will be tough again. “Bloomsburg is right up there with a cham-pionship caliber team, and C.W. Post is also at that level. With Shippensburg coming over from the West, there really is no easy game on the schedule.”

Junior ILB, Mike Dell, anchors a linebacking group that is very experienced and talented. The second team All-PSAC East selection only played fi ve games a year ago, but was fi fth on the team in tackles with 44.

Senior DB, Tyler Downes is one of the top returning defensive backs in the PSAC this fall. He placed second on the team in 2007 with 89 tackles and should earn fi rst team All-PSAC accolades as well as all-region consideration this year.

about the psac The Pennsylvania State Athletic Confer-ence, with 57 years of organized competition, has evolved into one of the NCAA’s largest and most heralded intercollegiate athletic confer-ences. The 2008-09 academic year will be a groundbreaking one for the PSAC as the league will expand beyond its original 14 members for the fi rst time since its offi cial formation in 1951. New full-time members Gannon University and Mercyhurst College, along with associate mem-ber Long Island University – C.W. Post, expect to complement the PSAC’s already solid foun-dation. With 16 full-time institutions, the PSAC shares distinction with the West Virginia Inter-collegiate Athletic Conference as the NCAA Division II’s largest in terms of membership. League expansion has brought acclaim through postseason opportunities, as well. In 2008-09, the Conference will sponsor 23 championships, the most for leagues in Division II. Highly competitive on a regional and na-tional level, PSAC schools annually combine to

send nearly one-third of its teams into NCAA postseason play. Ultimately, the membership’s success has yielded 40 NCAA team and 218 in-dividual title winners. While proud of its athletic accomplish-ments, the league also has evolved into one of Division II’s fi nest from an academic stand-point. Today, well over a quarter of the PSAC’s estimated 5,300 participants are honored each year as “scholar-athletes” for maintaining a grade-point average of 3.25 or better - a total that has nearly doubled since PSAC scholar-ath-letes were fi rst recognized in the mid-1990s. The PSAC was organized in 1951 for the purpose of promoting and administering men’s athletic programs within the 14 state teacher’s colleges in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In 1977, due to the interest and growth of wom-en’s athletics, the conference was restructured to provide for women’s programs. Upon its formation, the league did not have a standard competitive division. However, in 1980, the league voted to

reclassify the entire conference to NCAA Di-vision II. Although all 16 current institutions are members of Division II, eight schools also compete at the Division I level in select sports. PSAC schools enroll over 117,000 students and claim over 661,000 alumni, including 430,000 who reside in Pennsylvania. The PSAC is governed by the presidents of the 16 member institutions. It employs a com-missioner, two assistant commissioners and a director of media relations at its headquarters in Lock Haven, Pa.
