Zubik, West pack punch in W&J victory
GROVE CITY – Senior wide receiver Jesse Zubik and sophomore running back Jordan West combined for five first-half touchdowns Saturday as the No. 23 Washington & Jefferson rolled to a 47-7 nonconference victory at Grove City.
The game was considered nonconference because of the unbalanced schedule in the PAC.
Zubik went over 100 yards receiving in the first half and scored the first two touchdowns of the game to put W&J ahead, 14-0. He finished with 9 receptions for 183 yards.
West, a Wash High graduate, scored on runs of 14 and one yards and finished the game with 51 yards on 12 carries. He also caught an 11-yard scoring pass from Alex Rowse as W&J built a 35-0 halftime lead.
Rowse, making his second start, completed 22 of 29 passes for career highs of 316 yards and four touchdowns. It was the first career 300-yard game for Rowse, who served as the backup to Pete Coughlin the past two seasons.
Jake Adams completed 11 of 13 passes for 137 yards and a touchdown as W&J passed for 453 yards.
Grove City fell to 0-2 this season and 0-12 under head coach Andrew DiDonato.
