“Tyrie was on target every time and that is a great feeling,” said senior wideout Terryon Robinson.

The stand out player of the game was WCU senior running back, Detrez Newsome. On 16 carries, he racked up 288 yards rushing with 3 rushing touchdowns. He was able rack up 200 plus yards and scored three times by halftime. There was just no slowing him down making everything look so easy, but he gives full credit to his offensive line.
“I give all the credit to our offensive line. I wouldn’t have had the game I had if it wasn’t for them. They did a great job to open holes,” said Newsome.
The Cats look to add another win to the column as they will take on the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs who look to bounce back after a 0-2 start to the season. The game is on Sept. 16 at 6 p.m. at Ernest W. Spangler Stadium.
