Game Report - Indiana 34 - West Chester 7

Indiana dominated play from start to finish as the Crimson Hawks defeated West Chester 34-7 in the final game of the season for both squads. Indiana took the opening kickoff and drove 68 yards in seven plays to take an early 7-0 lead.

West Chester responded with one of their longest scoring drives of the season - 81 yards in over four minutes - to knot the score. The drive was keyed by an unconventional 33-yard pass from Sean McCartney to LaRonn Lee and 31 yards of Indiana penalties. The long pass play started as an end around handoff to Tim Keyser. As Keyser swept to the right side, he pulled up and threw an overhand lateral back to McCartney. McCartney composed himself and fired the ball to a wide open Lee who couldn't maintain his footing after the catch. Two plays later, McCartney and Lee hooked up again, this time for a 7-yard touchdown. Shawn Leo capped the scoring with his 80th point of the season.

But the West Chester offense was heard from no more in the first half. In the mean time, Indiana rolled on offense and cashed in on two interceptions to take a commanding 27-7 halftime lead. The Golden Rams moved the ball slightly better in the second half, but field position didn't allow them to convert the long drives into points.

For the game, Indiana picked up 249 yards on the ground leading to over 40 minutes in time of possession. Linebackers Ronell Williams and Eric Edwers each had double-digit tackles for the Golden Rams.
