Team News - Repeat Opponents

A reader asked what's the effect of playing the same opponent twice in the same season. It's happened six times under current head coach Bill Zwaan - once West Chester has swept the opponent, three times the Golden Rams split, and twice the opponent swept West Chester.

Here's a breakdown of West Chester's history in repeat opponents:

2013 - Bloomsburg
- lost at home during the regular season 31-28
- won on the road in the second round of the playoffs 40-38

2008 - California
- lost on the road during the regular season 44-32
- lost on the road in the PSAC championship 47-36

2008 - Bloomsburg
- won on the road during the regular season 24-21
- lost on the road in the second round of the playoffs 28-21

2006 - Bloomsburg
- lost on the road during the regular season 30-27
- lost on the road in the second round of the playoffs 21-20

2004 - East Stroudsburg
- won on the road during the regular season 38-37
- won on the road in the regional final 48-38

2004 - Shippensburg
- lost at home during the regular season 24-21 in OT
- won on the road in the second round of the playoffs 33-28


It only happened once prior to 2000, under Danny Hale:

1987 - Indiana
- won at home during the regular season 31-7
- lost at home in the PSAC championship 21-9
