Throwback Thursday - 1970

1970 marked the opening of John A. Farrell Stadium and the Golden Rams did not disappoint the home crowd as they went 4-0 in the new stadium. Unfortunately, they did not fare as well on the road and finished the season 7-4 overall. The season started with a road loss to Delaware, which would finish the season 9-2. After throttling Ithaca College 56-0, West Chester blanked PSCAC foes East Stroudsburg, Millersville and Bloomsburg. The Golden Rams dropped a contest when they traveled to Long Island to take on Hofstra.

West Chester secured a trip to the PSCAC championship game after knocking off Kutztown and Mansfield. Their final home game marked West Chester's only win ever over Lenior-Rhyne by a 38-21 tally. In mid-November, West Chester traveled to Edinboro for the PSCAC title game, but fell by a score of 14-6. The Fighting Scots would go on to lose in the NAIA national semi-finals for their only loss of the season. West Chester then traveled to nearby Villanova, but fell to a Wildcat team that finished 9-2, with their losses coming to Boston College and at Virginia Tech.

Named to the All-PSAC East Offensive team were end Barry Stout, tackle Bob Cleary, guard Jack Chambers, guard Marty Pavelic, and fullback Rocky Rees. Named to the All-PSAC East Defensive team were tackle Joe Carroll and linebacker Bruce Udovich.
