Tailback Greg Vaughn (Fr., Madison, N.J./Madison) provided the yardage on offense and linebacker Kevin Nagle (Gr., Effort, Pa./Pleasant Valley) and cornerback Michael Glover (So., Tabernacle, N.J./Shawnee) both scored points on defense as the Warriors downed Cheyney, 35-14.

Vaughn rushed for 161 yards in 29 carries, scored one touchdown on a one-yard plunge and set up another with a 42-yard burst. He also had a 48-yard run. He was pressed into service when starter Andre Castiglioni (Jr., Reading, Pa./Muhlenberg) because ill during the week and was unable to play.

The 5-7, 190-pound youngster ran behind the blocking of the team's huge offensive line headed by the left side of tackle Dan Bratton (Jr., Clarks Summit, Pa./Abington Heights) and guard Jim Sodano (Jr., Madison, N.J./Bayley-Ellard). Sodano scored 84 percent in the film evaluations while Bratton had an 81 percent mark.

Nagle added two points to the ESU total when he tackled the Cheyney quarterback in the end zone for a safety. He finished with nine tackles and a pair of sacks for 18 yards. Defensive end Adam DeAngelo (So., East Stroudsburg, Pa./East Stroudsburg) also had nine tackles and a pair of sacks for ten yards. Nagle is the conference leader in tackles with 104 while DeAngelo is first in sacks with 9 1/2 with Nagle second with eight.

Glover intercepted a pass on a Cheyney conversion try and returned it 95 yards for two points. He later picked off a Wolves' pass and ran it back 25 yards for a touchdown.

The Warriors also scored on a 27-yard pass from quarterback Jon Pry (Fr., Stroudsburg, Pa./Stroudsburg) to wide receiver Mike Patrick (Sr., East Stroudsburg, Pa./East Strouds-burg) and a ten-yard run by tailback Jason Wimmer (So., Quakertown, Pa./ Palisades). Mike Berry (Sr., Clarks Summit, Pa./Miami, Fla. Southridge) booted a 29-yard field goal and four straight extra points.

Pry was seven for 11 passing for 102 yards. John Kotarsky (Jr., Whitehall, Pa./ Whitehall) was the leading receiver with three catches for 77 yards.

The Warriors gave a good battle to Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference playoff contender Bloomsburg in their only game last week, leading 2-1 with less than 12 minutes remaining, but the Huskies rallied for a 3-2 victory

It was the season finale for Coach Derek Arneaud's team which finished with a 7-10 record including a 4-6 conference mark.

Behind 1-0 to Bloomsburg, Tiffanie Savacool (So., Yardville, N.J./Hamilton West) tied the game with an unassisted goal with 22 minutes remaining. Gwen Gemberling (So., Mechanicsburg, Pa./Cumberland Valley) then scored after a pass from Justina Woolf (Jr., Womelsdorf, Pa./Tulpehocken) to put the Warriors ahead with 13:32 left. The Huskies tied the game again with 11:23 to go and tallied the game-winner with 8:28 remaining.

Forward Jorge Chapoy (So., Montclova, Mexico/Pequea Valley, Pa.) kept scoring and goalie Jason Land (Jr., Carney's Point, N.J./St. James) posted another shutout as the Warriors won two games last week to finish the regular season with a 16-2-1 record.

Coach Jerry Sheska's team has won nine straight games and will be seeking its fourth straight Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference championship and eighth in nine years when it plays host to the title game Sunday at 1 p.m. at Eiler-Martin Stadium. The opponent will be either Lock Haven or California, which will meet in the semi-finals Wednesday.

Land notched his fifth straight shutout and seventh of the season in the Bloomsburg game. He made only three saves, but one was a diving stop on a free kick with the score still 1-0.

Chapoy scored the first goal against Bloomsburg. He now has a team-leading 19 goals in 19 games. Tom Mustac (Jr., West Milford, N.J./Clifton) booted in the second goal.

In the win over New York Tech, Brandon Smith (Jr., Forksville, Pa./Sullivan County) and Chris Pinto (So., Santz Cruz, Bolivia/St. Benedicts) had the goals in regulation with Mustac assisting on both of them. Mike Lotocki (So., Langhorne, Pa./Neshaminy) set up Chapoy's game-winning goal.
