LUT WILLIAMS So far, CIAA football champion WinstonSalem State is following a historic script that allowed it to reach the NCAA Div. II semnals a year ago. On Saturday, after receiving a bye through the rst round, the undefeated Rams (12-0), the top seed in the region, shut down high-scoring Shippensburg 37-14 (see related story) in a second round game to advance to the Super Region I nals, or national quarternals for the second year in a row. Last year, after an undefeated regular season, CIAA title and rst-round bye, the Rams downed California (Pa.) 35-28 to break a 18-year, ninegame drought for the conference in the playoffs and advance to the region nal. Once there, the Rams downed New Haven 27-7. This Saturday, WSSU will take on Indiana (Pa.), who prevented a rematch of last year's regional nal by knocking off New Haven 17-14 Saturday. IUP (12-1), seeded second in the region, is the champion of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference, beating Shippensburg 41-10 in the PSAC championship game on Nov. 10. The Crimson Hawks defeated Shepherd 27-17 in a rst round playoff game on Nov. 17. Their only loss of the season was on Sept. 22 to California (Pa.), 26-24. IUP, under second-year head coach Curt Cignetti, sports the stingiest defensive in the nation giving up just 11.8 points and 251.6 yards per game. Defensive leaders are junior linebacker Alexander Berdahl with 98 tackles and ve sacks and senior defensive back Johnny Franco with 58 tackles and a team-leading six interceptions. Senior defensive lineman Carl Thornton leads the team in sacks with 7 while sophomore lineman Shane Meisner has 14 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks.
