\u201cIt makes my job a whole lot easier when you have a dynamic player to throw to, yet alone two of them to throw to,\u201d senior quarterback Ryan Bergman<\/p>\n

With back to back touchdowns thrown to redshirt freshman wide receiver Paul Revis in the fourth quarter, the Wolves were able to secure their second Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) win against the Clan of Simon Fraser University, 27-16 during homecoming week on Oct. 25.<\/p>\n
Western Oregon (4-4, 2-1 GNAC) struck first and fast against Simon Fraser (2-6, 2-2) during the Wolves homecoming game. Senior quarterback Ryan Bergman started off the game with a 35-yard touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Tyrell Williams. Bergman completed 18-of-42 passes for 332 yards on the day and four touchdowns. Williams and Revis combined for 286 yards and three touchdowns on the day, making their presence known throughout the GNAC.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt makes my job a whole lot easier when you have a dynamic player to throw to, yet alone two of them to throw to,\u201d said Bergman.<\/p>\n
Paul Revis was named the GNAC\u2019s offensive player of the week for the first time in his career. He leads the Wolves and GNAC with 902 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. Revis is ranked third in division II for all-purpose yards averaging 205.1 yards per game.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a great honor to be acknowledged by the league and hope to earn many more in my future,\u201d said Revis.<\/p>\n
It was the Wolves\u2019 defense that forced the Clan to field goals instead of touchdowns that really gave our boys in red the upper hand. Redshirt sophomore defensive back Danny Hankins led the Wolves defense with seven solo tackles and an interception. The defense allowed only one pass to be thrown over their head for 51 yards in the second quarter, which would be the last score before the half.<\/p>\n
The Wolves came out of the half strong, finishing a drive with a one-yard touchdown pass from Bergman to junior wide receiver James DePew, putting the Wolves up 14-10.<\/p>\n
The Clan answered back with two drives that would both result in field goals, giving them the two point advantage at the beginning of the fourth.<\/p>\n
Bergman and Revis answered again when they connected for a 94-yard drive with a 29-yard touchdown pass to put the Wolves up 21-16.<\/p>\n
A 54-yard touchdown pass from Bergman to Revis would wrap up this homecoming victory for the Wolves.<\/p>\n
The Wolves travel to Glendora California to play the No. 25-ranked Azusa Pacific University Saturday, Nov. 1.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhoever wins this game will be the conference champs,\u201d said head coach Arne Ferguson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
