GAME WEEK! West Chester (3-2) returns home to face Shepherd (4-1) with a chance to get back in the win column. Future Robertson scored on a 52-yard run and a 25-yard catch last week, while Dylan McKenzie leads WCU with 22 receptions for 288 yards. Those playmakers face a Shepherd team coming off a 35-7 win over Millersville. For the Golden Rams, the next step is turning explosive moments into sustained drives.

The Rams will meet on the field. Let’s make sure the home-field advantage belongs to West Chester. Join the WCU Football family at Farrell Stadium this Saturday, October 10, for another 6 PM kickoff under the lights. Make plans to be in the stands and get behind our Golden Rams!

The Golden Rams struck first on a 52-yard touchdown run from Future Robertson, but the Warriors took control before halftime and pulled away in the fourth quarter. Robertson accounted for both West Chester touchdowns, adding a 25-yard TD reception late in the third.

West Chester moves to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the PSAC East as East Stroudsburg takes its fourth straight in the series. The Golden Rams return home next Saturday, October 10, to host Shepherd at 6 PM at Farrell Stadium. Time to regroup and get back to work.

GAME DAY! West Chester (3-1, 1-0 PSAC East) heads to East Stroudsburg to take on the Warriors (3-1) at 1:05 PM on ESU’s Homecoming. The Golden Rams enter on a two-game winning streak after last week’s comeback win over Millersville.

Something has to give today as ESU’s high-powered offense meets one of the top defenses in Division II. West Chester leads the all-time series 64-25, but the Warriors have taken the last three meetings. Time to change that. Let’s go, Rams!
