Team News - Bill Zwaan to Delaware County Hall of Fame

Former Golden Ram head coach Bill Zwaan will be inducted into the Delaware County Athletes Hall of Fame. Zwaan played quarterback at the University of Delaware where he guided the Blue Hens to the NCAA Division II national championship game in 1974. Zwaan was the head baseball coach of nearby Widener University from 1993-96 and head football coach there from 1997-2002.

He became the head coach of the Golden Rams in 2003, a position that he held until he retired after the 2023 season. He left as the school's winningest coach with a record of 163-76. In his 20 seasons at the helm, he captured the PSAC East championship outright six times (2004, 2007, 2008, 2015, 2017, 2018) and the shared title in 2013. Additionally, in 2018, West Chester captured the overall PSAC championship for the first time since 1971. Zwaan led the Golden Rams into the NCAA Division II playoffs ten times, advancing to the national semifinals in both 2004 and 2013. He was also named PSAC East Coach of the Year five times (2004, 2007, 2008, 2015, 2018).
