KUTZTOWN, Pa. — Dontay Wilson ran for 152 yards and two touchdowns to lead Kutztown University to a 40-21 win over Cheyney University in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Eastern Division game.

Bingnear led the defense with 11 tackles.  Greg Rotkowski had two sacks, while Cressman and Kevin Branco also had sacks. 

            For Cheyney, Ronald Thompson passed for a TD and ran for another.  Charles Johnson caught an 18-yarder from Thompson.  Billy Mitchell scored the Wolves last TD on a 1-yard run.

            Cheyney took an early lead in the first quarter, taking the opening kick and marching 86 yards on eight plays, capped by Thompson’s 1-yard sneak.   

            Kutztown answered right back, Chris Diaferio returned the kick to Cheyney 37, and Spotts hit Davis from 18 yards out five plays later to tie the score. 

            After Cheyney fumbled a punt snap on its next possession, Spotts went from 1 yard out five plays later for a 14-7 lead.  Thompson fumbled on a Cressman sack, and KU took over at the 12.  Wilson scored from 1 yard out for a 21-7 lead with 11:48 left in the half. 

            Nye scored on a 3-yard run on a fake field goal, but his PAT missed keeping it 27-7 with 5:09 left in the half.   

            KU opened the second half with a flurry.  After a short kickoff was returned to the Cheyney 47, Wilson bounced to the right side and scampered 47 yards to paydirt and a 34-7 KU lead 15 seconds into the second half.   

           The Wolves made it 34-14 later in the third on Thompson’s 18-yard pass to Johnson.   

            KU answered with field goals by Nye on its next two possessions, upping its lead to 40-14.  Cheyney capped the scoring with 5:26 left in the fourth on Mitchell’s 1-yard run.
