LINCOLN UNIVERSITY

Lincoln UniversityA Legacy of Producing Leaders

Since its founding in 1854, Lincoln University, the nation’s first degree-granting Historically Black University, has had an internationally recognized commitment to excellence in scholarship and service. Lincoln University graduates have distinguished themselves in many fields including medicine, science, theology, education, law, and the arts. In addition to our more visible graduates – Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall ’30, poet and playwright Langston Hughes ’29, the first president of Nigeria, Nnamdi Azikiwe ’30, and the first president of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah ‘39 - Lincoln University and its graduates have achieved the following additional distinctions: participated in the founding of eight universities in the United States and abroad, created the organization (Crossroads Africa) which

served as the model for the U.S. Peace Corps, and published the first Alumni Magazine of any college or university (1884). Lincoln graduates also include the first African American bishop of the United Methodist Church, Roy C. Nichols ’41, and the first African American female rear admiral in the U.S. Navy, Lillian Fishburne ’71.

The University’s beginnings can be traced back with recognition to its founder, Presbyterian Minister John Miller Dickey, his wife, Sarah Emlen Cresson, and the first two students - James Ralston Amos and his brother, Thomas H. Amos. Lincoln University was initially chartered as Ashmun Institute in honor of Jehudi Ashmun, the first governor of Liberia, and renamed Lincoln University in 1866 after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Since

its inception, Lincoln has attracted an interracial and international enrollment from the surrounding community and region, and around the world. The University admitted women students in 1952, and formally associated with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1972 as a state-related, coeducational university. A total of 15,500 students have graduated from Lincoln since its founding in 1854.

Lincoln University has had 12 presidents that have made distinctive and significant contributions to the institution’s growth and development. They include Dickey (1853-78); John Pym Carter (1856-61); John Wynne Martin (1861-65); Isaac Norton Rendall (1856-1906); John Ballard Rendall (1906-24); William Hallock Johnson (1926-36); Walter Livingston Wright (1924-26; 1936-45); Horace Mann Bond (1945-57); Marvin Wachman (1962-69); Herman Russell Branson (1970-85); Niara Sudarkasa (1987-98) and Ivory V. Nelson (1999-present).

Accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, Lincoln University offers forty (40) academic majors, six (6) pre-professional programs, and five (5) graduate programs to 2,450 students from 24 states and 35 foreign countries. The University has five programs of excellence in Sciences (Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Computer Science, Mathematics and Environmental Science), Teacher Education, Business and Technology (Accounting and Finance), Mass Communications and the Lincoln-Barnes Center of Excellence in Visual Arts.

Under Ivory Nelson’s presidency, the Board of Trustees approved changes that redefined the core curriculum and curriculum structure to keep pace with the ever changing face of higher education and prepare Lincoln’s students for success in graduate and professional studies and high potential career aspirations. Currently, Lincoln University is one of the nation’s largest producers of African Americans with baccalaureate degrees in the physical sciences, computer and information sciences,

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY

and biological and life sciences. More than 25 percent of its undergraduate degrees awarded are in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer science. In addition, Lincoln University has the distinction of having 25 of its chemistry graduates (1989 to 2004) to earn Ph.D. degrees in chemistry and related fields.

Lincoln University’s historic campus is located on 422 acres in southern Chester County, Pennsylvania. Lincoln also operates a 200,000 square foot Center for Graduate Studies and Continuing Education in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 2000, the University began massive programmatic and physical plant upgrades. In the eight years that followed, Lincoln University secured $275 million to enhance the physical facilities and redesign the campus’ infrastructure. These funds allowed the University to construct a new High-Tech Science and General Classroom Building as well as a state-of-the-art International Cultural Center. In addition to new construction, several major renovation projects of the University’s existing buildings were undertaken, including Ware Center, University Hall, Grim Hall, Wright Hall, the Langston Hughes Memorial Library, the Student

Union Building and the University’s Center for Graduate and Continuing Education in Philadelphia. It was also during this time that Lincoln achieved its first ever investment grade rating (A-3 rating

from Moody’s Investor’s Service) that resulted in the sale of $40 million in bonds to construct a new 409-bed, air-conditioned residence hall to house its students.

In April of 2006, Lincoln University continued its commitment to enhance the quality education and campus life experience for its student body, with the reinstatement of a football program and marching band to commence in fall 2008. The proposed move from Division III to Division II in 2006 also required the addition of a women’s softball team to the athletic offerings. The Board of Trustees also approved re-affiliation with the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). The Lion football program, which fielded a team from 1894 through 1960, was an original member of the CIAA, winning the CIAA Conference championship in 1918, 1919 and 1924. In recent years, Lincoln has provided its male and female students the opportunity to participate in collegiate competition in baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, track, cross country and volleyball. The Lincoln University track and field athletes have compiled an outstanding record of achievement in NCAA competition, capturing a total of 17 men’s and women’s national championships.

In celebrating Lincoln University’s historic past and promising future, we recognize and honor Lincoln’s three historic purposes: 1) to teach honestly, and without fear of censure, what humankind has painfully and persistently learned about the environment and its people; 2) to preserve this knowledge for the future; and 3) to add to this store of knowledge.

Lincoln University remains committed to preserving its distinction as an intellectual and cultural resource for this region.

2011 SEASON PREVIEW

With the days of summer just about gone, college campus have turned its attention to its annual rites of passage with college football. That is no different at Lincoln University in Lincoln University, Pa., where the Lions look to rebound after a 1-9 campaign during the 2010 season. In the offseason, Lions head coach O.J. Abanishe and his staff regrouped and brought in several top athletes and will look to blend them in with a veteran offense and defense.

A LOOK BACK AT 2010

The 2010 season started off memorable with its annual season-opening game against rival Cheyney with the Battle of the Firsts. Lincoln earned its only win of the season by shutting out Cheyney, 12-0 in front of 4,000 fans.

However, the following week, the Lions fell at New Haven, 30-0, to even their record at 1-1. A week later, Virginia Union won a shootout with Lincoln, beating the Lions, 55-31.

Lincoln returned home the following week, but surrendered a 52-21 defeat at the hands of Saint Augustine’s. The Lions hit the road for four straight road games, falling at Howard (28-14), at Chowan (30-27), at Bowie State (24-18) and at Virginia State (42-0).

OFFENSE

The Lions return a solid core of weapons in the air and ground. Quarterback Laquan Williams, running back D’Ante Smith and wide receiver Matthew Coston provide the offensive spark for the Lincoln offense that average 253 yards per game.

Williams (6-0, 180, Philadelphia, Pa.) bolsters the attack by returning under center. In playing eight games during 2010, the junior quarterback was 106-of-241 passing for 1,211 yards. He threw nine touchdowns, despite throwing 12 interceptions. Not only did he control the offense as a quarterback, but he also led the team in rushing with 247 yards on 97 attempts.

Smith (5-8, 205, Bowie, Md.) played in all 10 games for the Lions last season and provides experience in the backfield. He amassed 240 yards on 76 carries and one score. Gerald Swain (5-9, 190, Burlington Township, N.J.) also returns to the backfield and split time with Smith. Swain garnered 50 touches for 141 yards in nine games. Another player returning in the backfield is Mariell McGowan (5-8, 195, Jeanette, Pa.). McGowan had 20 yards on 17 carries.

Coston (6-1, 174, Queens, N.Y.) leads a veteran core of receivers. The junior played in all 10 games during the 2010 season and averaged 63.3 yards per catch. He caught 41 passes for 633 yards and six scores, including a long of 75 yards. Smith was second on the team in receiving with 193 yards on 30 receptions out of the backfield. Philip Jean-Juste and Anthony Wilson also return to the Lions. Jean-Juste (5-6, 145, Miami, Fla.), who was third in receiving, caught 29 balls for 254 yards and one score in nine games. Wilson (6-1, 173, Philadelphia, Pa.) played in nine games averaging 37.8 yards per catch. He finished with 13 catches for 250 yards and three touchdowns.

DEFENSE

When coach Abainshe talks about veteran leadership, he starts on the defensive side of the football. Brucelee Sterile, Brandon McElwee and Eugene Lancaster are players he knows will be the anchor if the Lions will be successful in 2011.

Sterile (5-10, 200, Miami, Fla.) brings the accolades as he is a preseason CIAA Defensive member after playing in all 10 games at linebacker. He finished with 90 tackles, including 58 solo and 14 for a loss of

2011 SEASON PREVIEW

128 yards. Sterile also had three sacks for 43 yards, three pass breakups, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one blocked kick.

McElwee (6-1, 200, Gloucester City, N.J.) plays alongside Sterile at linebacker and was second last season in tackles with 67, including 48 solos. He recorded a team-high 15 tackles for a loss of 69 yards, three sacks, three quarterback hurries, two pass breakups and one forced fumble.

Tim Green (6-1, 215, Fanwood, N.J.) along with Lancaster provide the power up front on the defensive line. Green was fourth on the team in tackles with 53, including 35 solos. He registered 13.5 tackles for a loss of 85 yards, seven sacks for a loss of 63 yards, three quarterback hurries, three forced fumbles, two blocked kicks, two pass breakups, a pair of fumble recoveries and one interception, which was returned for 12 yards. Lancaster (6-4, 350, Virginia Beach, Va.) recorded 35 total tackles , including 1.5 for a loss of four yards. He had one safety, one quarterback sack, one fumble recovery and one quarterback hurry.

SPECIAL TEAMS

Ivan Mitchell and Steven Morris return as both were relied on heavily in the return game on punts. Mitchell (5-8, 165, Baltimore, Md.) caught seven punts for 33 yards and Morris (5-8, 170, Palmyra, N.J.) five for 30. On kickoffs, Mitchell returned 31 kicks for 576 yards, with a long of 53. McGowan was second with seven for 59 yards and Jean-Juste was third with 112 yards on six touches.

TOP NEWCOMERS

Abanishe brought in several top recruits during the offseason and should come in and make an immediate impact on the football field.

One of the biggest recruits came from the state of Florida in quarterback Doug Cook. Cook (6-0, Dania

Beach, Fla.), who played at University School of Nova SE University, is the No. 3 rated quarterback from the state of Florida and the No. 44 quarterback in the country by MaxPreps. As a senior, he was 285 of 405 passing for 3,491 yards and 35 touchdowns. He also rushed for nearly 500 yards and seven scores. In his prep career, Cook amassed 5,655 yards and 56 touchdowns. Abanishe said he expects Cook to come in and battle for the starting position.

Another player Abanishe is high on is Mason Colton at fullback. Colton (Red Oak, Ga.) played at Westlake HS and was Second-Team All-Region, Honorable Mention and Fulton County All-American.

Defensively, Jethro Spikes (6-0, 295) and Hosea Crooms will look to come in and earn starting spots on the defensive line. Spikes was all-conference pick on defense at Mesabi Range Community College in Minnesota Crooms (Daytona Beach, Fla.) was a four-year player at Atlantic High School. He was twice named Best Defensive Lineman.

One of the pieces to the puzzle missing last season was in the kicking game and Abanishe addressed that by bringing in Kyle Jaski. Jaski (5-11, 209, Essex, Md.) was an All-State Second Team member at punter.

2011 SEASON PREVIEW

A LOOK AT 2011 - THE SCHEDULE

Lincoln begins its season with a familiar foe and one it has opened up with the last three years in Cheyney University. The Lions will take part in the Battle of the Firsts/Wade Wilson Classic at O’Sheilds-Stevenson Stadium in Cheyney, Pa. The game will count toward Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association standings because of the loss of St. Paul’s from the conference.

A week after opening with their biggest rivals, the Lions remain on the road for a contest against Division I and Football Sub Division opponent Kentucky State.

Lincoln has its home opener on Sept. 17 at Avon Grove High School when the Lions meet Virginia Union. Last season, Lincoln dropped a slugfest with Virginia Union and the Lions look to avenge the 55-31 loss. Another road contest awaits Lincoln a week later by travelling to Raleigh and Saint Augustine’s College.

The month of October is a pleasant one for Lion fans as Lincoln has four straight home games, starting on the 1st by playing host to West Virginia Wesleyan in a non-conference tilt. But back to conference play a week later as Chowan comes to town for Homecoming. The Lions dropped a 30-27 heartbreaker last season to Chowan.

Bowie State and Virginia State wrap up the Lincoln home campaign in back-to-back weeks. The Lions conclude the 2011 season much like how it started with a pair of road games, starting Oct. 29 against Virginia University of Lynchburg. Lincoln ends the year in Elizabeth City, N.C., to take on Elizabeth City State University.

THE CIAA

THE HISTORY OF THE CIAA

The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) was founded in 1912 as the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association and is the oldest African-American athletic conference in the nation. Although the membership has changed since 1912, the CIAA consists of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) spanning the east coast from Pennsylvania to North Carolina. The membership: Bowie State University, Chowan University, Elizabeth City State University, Fayetteville State University, Johnson C. Smith University, Lincoln University of Pennsylvania, Livingstone College, St. Augustine’s College, Shaw University, Virginia State University, Virginia Union University and Winston-Salem State University is comprised of both private and public colleges and universities with enrollments ranging from 750 to over 7,000 students. Currently, eighty percent of CIAA alumni reside in Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia.

The CIAA is incorporated in the District of Columbia and is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. The conference is headquartered in Hampton, Virginia and is governed by the twelve Presidents and Chancellors of its member institutions.

The conference holds championships annually in the following sports: Men’s and Women’s Cross Country; Volleyball; Football; Men’s and Women’s Indoor and Outdoor Track; Men’s and Women’s Basketball; Women’s Bowling; Men’s and Women’s Tennis; Golf; Baseball and Softball. In addition to its outstanding basketball history, the CIAA pioneered the divisional conference football championship game format. In 1970, after dividing the conference into Northern and Southern Divisions, the CIAA played the first conference football championship game in college football history in Petersburg, Virginia. The first black college football game was also played between CIAA schools, Livingstone and Biddle (now Johnson C. Smith) in 1893.

Academic success is a staple of the conference. The CIAA recognizes the academic achievement of its student-athletes annually by naming its top student-athletes to the Commissioner’s All-Academic Team. The conference also recognizes the Male and Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year for student-athletes who have excelled on the field and in the classroom.

CIAA student-athletes have achieved success in the professional ranks. Ben Wallace, former basketball standout from Virginia Union University, was named to the 2004 Olympic Team and was instrumental in helping the NBA Detroit Pistons win the 2004 NBA Championship. Charles Oakley also from Virginia Union has played with the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors. Darrell Armstrong of Fayetteville State University recently retired from the NBA New Jersey Nets and Ronald Murray of Shaw University currently plays with the NBA Chicago Bulls. Most recently, Greg Toler of St. Paul’s College was selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the 31st round of the 2009 NFL draft.

Former CIAA alumni who found success in professional sports include Earl “The Pearl” Monroe (Winston-Salem State University), Sam Jones (North Carolina Central University), Earl Lloyd (West Virginia State University), and Bobby Dandridge (Norfolk State University). The late John McClendon and C.E. “Big House” Gaines are coaching legends and pioneers.

CIAA alumni list boasts some of the country’s prominent leaders. They include: the late Reginald Lewis (the owner of the first black billion dollar business - Beatrice Foods); the late Maynard Jackson (first black mayor of Atlanta, GA); Douglas Wilder (first elected black governor - Virginia); Art Shell (the first black NFL head coach in the modern era); and Andrew Young (the first black United States Ambassador to the United Nations).

The CIAA receives significant support from corporate America. Over the past ten years companies such as Alltel, Anheuser Busch, Bank of America, Coca-Cola USA, Food Lion and Ford Motor Corporation, Glaxo Smithkline, Geico, Nationwide Insurance, Nike, McDonald’s, Russell Athletic, the American Red Cross,

THE CIAA

the United States Army, Navy and Marine Corp have assisted the conference in securing $10.5 million in scholarship money for the member institutions and an additional $23 million for other championships and television. With the help of these sponsors, the CIAA can boast its position as the first NCAA Division II conference to have its tournament televised as part of Championship Week on the Entertainment Sports Programming Network (ESPN), the cable television giant.

One of the nation’s premier sporting events is the annual CIAA Basketball Tournament. Touted as the third most attended basketball tournament among all NCAA divisions, the first tournament was a 2,000 seat sellout in Washington, D.C. The CIAA Tournament recorded consecutive sellouts in the 20,000 seat RBC Center, located in Raleigh, NC when the city was awarded the event in 2000 and 2003. The 2011 CIAA Tournament, in its sixth year in the “Queen City”, Charlotte, NC, boasted over 190,000 fans during the course of the week, while making an economic impact of over $44.3 million. Since the year 2000, the CIAA has generated over $266.06 million in economic impact for the state of North Carolina and over $16.5 million in overall scholarship dollars for CIAA member institutions.

Tournament Week offers events for every social palate including parties, numerous educational and healthy-livings components, step shows and a battle of the bands. The men’s and women’s tournaments are held simultaneously and their respective championship games are on Saturday night.

The CIAA has received national recognition by being featured in EBONY magazine for six consecutive years, USA Today (front page cover story) and in Essence magazine. The Tournament has also been an annual staple of the Steve Harvey and Tom Joyner Morning Shows.

The CIAA Tournament is televised into more than 57 million homes nationwide. In 2005, the conference partnered with ESPN, which included coverage on ESPN Classic, ESPN Plus and ESPN In-Game. ESPN reaches over 99.5 million homes.

For the 2010 tournament, the CIAA entered into a first-ever partnership with TV One, a television network that chronicles African-American culture and achievement, to broadcast the men’s quarterfinals and semifinal rounds.

The CIAA is undoubtedly celebrated as a conference of “firsts”. Its innate spirit of ingenuity and innovation continues to keep the CIAA in the forefront; blazing trails for other conferences to follow. As the CIAA enters into 100 years of excellence in athletic competition, the conference and its member institutions continue to build on the rich and honorable traditions of its past; while providing leadership into the future.

2010 GAME-BY-GAME

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Led by sophomore wide receiver Matthew Coston (Queens, NY/Dover) and three safeties, the Lincoln University of Pennsylvania football team blanked the Cheyney University, 12-0, Sunday at Charles Martin Stadium at Northeast High School.

With the win, Lincoln begins the season 1-0 for the third consecutive year. Last year, the Lions defeated Cheyney, 41-20 at Northeast High School. LU is now 10-0-1 versus the Wolves.

Coston connected with sophomore Laquan Williams (Philadelphia, PA/Bartram) with 10 minutes left in the first for Lincoln’s lone touchdown, capping a six-play, 62-yard drive. LU then recorded three safeties — two in the second quarter and one in the fourth — to pitch the second shut-out under head coach O.J. Abanishe and defensive coordinator Herb Pickens. Last year, Lincoln defeated Livingstone, 10-0, in Salisbury, N.C.

Although the Lincoln offense scored the one touchdown, it had to be pleased with how it moved the ball freely down the field, recording 331 yards of total offense, its most since recording 393 in that blanking of Livingstone. Coston, the leading returning receiver from 2009 continued his maturation, catching five passes for 105 yards, becoming just the second wide-receiver to reach triple digits since the re-establishment of the football program in 2008.

Williams, who went 10-for-21 for 129 yards and the touchdown, ran for a game high 97 yards, the most of his career. In the waning moments, though, it was junior tailback D’Ante Smith (Bowie, Md./Riverdale Baptist) who iced the game, as he ran for 59 of his 89 yards in the second half.

Defensively, the Lions limited Cheyney to just two field goal opportunities, the second of which was blocked. The Wolves totaled just 81 yards of offense: 65 rushing and 16 passing.

Lincoln successfully moved the ball inside the Cheyney red zone on the drive after the touchdown, but the drive stalled deep in CU territory. The Lion defense held, and the snap on the ensuing Cheyney punt went over the head of Tyler Wilkinson for a safety and an 8-0 LU edge.

Nine minutes later, Lincoln maneuvered the ball inside the Cheyney one, but again the Wolves held. Three rushing attempts yielded just one yard, and the Wolves instead took the safety by stepping out of the back of the end zone. Lincoln led at half time 10-0.

In the third quarter, the Wolves’ showed they too could move the ball, and midway through the frame, they attempted a 42 yarder, but Wilkin-son’s attempt died short and to the left of the uprights. Early in the fourth, Lincoln blocked a 37-yard try, preserving the shutout.

In the final minutes, defensive lineman Eugene Lancaster (Virginia Beach, Va./Louisburg College) dropped James Ramsey for LU’s third safety. Lancaster led Lincoln with five tackles.

2010 GAME-BY-GAME

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Junior running back D’Ante Smith (Bowie, Md./Riverdale Baptist), continues to make his case as an elite back, albeit it in a losing effort Saturday afternoon at Ralph DellCamera Stadium in the Harmony Classic sponsored by the Connecticut NAACP.

The Lincoln University of Pennsylvania football team (1-1) dropped a 30-0 contest to the University of New Haven (2-0), but a week after record-ing 89 rushing yards in the season opener, Smith recorded a team-high five receptions that amounted to 52 yards and rushed 12 times for 29 yards.

The versatile back, who led LU in rushing a year ago, also took several direct snaps from center.The Chargers’ offense, meanwhile, had too many options and opened a 20-0 break at halftime. The majority of the damage came on their first

play from scrimmage when a half-back pass from Ronnie Nelson to Shareiff Hall for a touchdown three minutes into the contest. UNH tacked on a touchdown and two field goals in the second quarter, including a 45-yard blast for a field goal from freshman Chris Scifo with just over a minute left before the break.

Despite the lopsided score, aside from the trick play, the LU defense did a tremendous job, limiting junior quarter Ryan Osiecki to just 88 passing yards and sacking him three times. The reigning Northeast Conference Player of the Week, a Louisville transfer, threw for 301 yards and four touch-downs last week.

Overall, the Chargers just accumulated 317 yards, capitalizing mostly on a shortened field in the first half.“We did a good job defensively, overall,” Lincoln head coach O.J. Abanishe said. Leading that way defensively was Dameion Butler (Fairfield, Calif./Sacramento City College) with seven tackles. Brandon McElwee (Gloucester

City, N.J./Gloucester Junior and Senior) and Jairon Bailey (Compton, Calif./Las Angeles Southwest) each had six stops and a sack, Bailey’s going for 19 yards deep in Lincoln territory, limiting the Chargers to that 45-yard field goal before the half.

Lincoln’s best scoring opportunity came on the first drive of the third quarter. A deep punt backed the Lions up at the six. A draw by quarterback Laquan Williams (Philadelphia, Pa./Bartram) got them some breathing room, and a UNH personal foul moved the ball toward midfield.

Williams then found Anthony Wilson (Philadelphia, Pa./George Washington) on a go pattern down the left sideline for 59 yards to set up first and goal from the four. The drive stalled when a fourth-down pass fell incomplete. Overall, Williams was 14-for-30 for 148 yards and one interception. The UNH defense also held him to -9 yards rushing on eight carries.

For the remainder of the game, Lincoln continually strung together first downs, which the offense had been unable to do in the opening two quar-ters, but the Charger defense buckled down and ultimately halted further progress.

2010 GAME-BY-GAME

RICHMOND, Va. — Lincoln’s offense awoke, and the defense provided two scores, but the bright lights of Hovey Field yielded a shootout that went the way of Virginia Union Saturday night, 55-31.

The point total was Lincoln’s most since defeating Southern Virginia on Sep. 12 of last season, 34-9. It was also the Lion’s highest ouput in a road game since the reinstatement of the football program. The previous high was 18, established on Oct. 17, 2009 at Elizabeth City State.

Lincoln, playing its first CIAA football game as an active Division II member, displayed the emotion reflecting the milestone, opening with a 12-0 lead courtesy of a pair of touchdown passes from Laquan Williams (Philadelphia, Pa./Bartram) to fellow sophomore Matthew Coston (Queens, N.Y./Dover).

The Panthers (1-2, 1-2 CIAA) responded by going to air as well, as Aris McGlone-English hooked up with wide out Joseph Jean-Pierre twice in the second quarter for a 13-12 VUU lead with 3:05 left in the half. On Lincoln’s next possession, Marques Johnson intercepted Williams and returned it 45 yards for a 20-12 Panther edge.

Williams responded to the setback with poise, marching Lincoln down the field and rushing the ball in from two yards out with seven seconds left to get LU to 20-18.

The intermission did little to slow the frenetic pace established in the opening 30 minutes. Midway through the third, McGlone-English found Jean-Pierre again, this time from 27 yards out, to extend the lead to 27-18. Jean-Pierre finished with seven catches for 80 yards and three touch-downs.

Lincoln entered the night No. 1 in the CIAA and No. 6 in the country and although the unit surrendered seven touchdowns, the Panthers had just 298 yards of average, right on par with the 299 opponents had been averaging.

Junior linebacker Brucelee Sterile (Miami, Fla./North Miami Beach) led the effort with 11 tackles, seven of which were solo, a sack of 13 yards and a forced fumble.

2010 GAME-BY-GAME

WEST GROVE, Pa. — Lincoln’s offense continued to show promise, as quarterback Laquan Williams (Philadelphia, Pa./Bartram) threw for two long touchdown passes, highlighting Lincoln’s afternoon in a 52-21 loss to Saint Augustine’s College Saturday afternoon at Avon Grove High School.

The game itself was a milestone, marking the first home contest for the Lions as an active NCAA Division II member and the first time Lincoln scored 20 or more points in consecutive games since the reinstatement of the football program in 2008. Lincoln scored 31 last week in a loss to Virginia Union in Richmond, Va.

The Lions (1-3, 0-2 CIAA) found themselves trailing 21-0 until quarterback Laquan Williams hooked up with wide out Anthony Wilson (Philadel-phia, Pa./George Washington) for a 45 yard touchdown strike, Wilson’s first touchdown of the season and fourth of his career.

The Falcons (3-1, 2-0 CIAA) displayed why they have the top ground game in the conference. Led by running back Walter Sanders and quarterback Joaquin Green, the Falcons scored 24 consecutive points and would hold a 32-7 edge at halftime. Sanders entered as the top runner in the CIAA, averaging 116.7 yards per game, and he broke off several long runs, including Saint Augustine’s first score on a 64-yard bruiser with less than three minutes left in the opening quarter.

Trailing 45-7, as Williams found Domonic Wright (New Hempstead, N.Y./Globe Institute of Technology) over three Falcon defenders for a 42-yard connection. It was Wright’s first touchdown catch as a Lion, and Williams’ fifth passing touchdown of the season.

Lincoln would eventually find the end zone once more but this time it would be on the ground as quarterback Aaron Thomas (Oxford, Pa./Oxford Area) scored on a quarterback sneak. Thomas, a local product, then found Marielll McGowan (Jeanette, Pa./Jeanette) on a swing pass on the two-point conversion for the final score 52-21.

Despite the shaky first half, LU’s defense did settle down the remainder of the game, particularly the linebacker faction of sophomore Dameion Butler (Fair Field Calif.,/Sacramento City College) junior Brucelee Sterile (Miami, Fla./North Miami Beach) and junior Daron Jones (Baltimore, Md./Robert Morris). These high flying defenders where catalyst behind the Lions defensive stops between them they racked up a multiple stops behind the Falcons’ line of scrimmage and forced a fumble.

Overall, the LU defense forced three turnovers including the fumble forced by Jones that set up Lincoln’s final score. In the first quarter, Robert McGrier (Philadelphia, Pa./Roxborugh) maintained good position and shielded Laughinghouse from the deep pass, coming down with the jump ball for his first career interception. In third quarter, McGrier’s high school teammate defensive lineman Justin James (Philadelphia, Pa./Roxborough) sacked quarterback Teddy Bacote and recovered the ensuing fumble.

2010 GAME-BY-GAME

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Reviving one of the greatest rivalries in black-college football, Lincoln University and Howard University engaged in a physi-cal, passionate game won by Howard, 28-14, holding off a rigorous comeback by the upstart Lions.

The 56th meeting between the two institutions marked Lincoln’s (1-4) first foray against an NCAA Division I Football Championship Series opponent, but the Lions refused to buckle given the greater size of the Bison (1-4). Howard evened the all-time series at 24-24-8 in the first game between the schools since 1960.

“This is a very big deal,” Lincoln University president Dr. Ivory V. Nelson said during an in-game interview on BrandywineRadio.com. “This is not just about Lincoln playing a Division I school, but there are a lot of Lincoln alumni in the D.C. area, and a lot of Lincoln alumni attended Howard and vice versa. For example, former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall received his undergraduate degree from Lincoln and his law degree from Howard.”

The competitiveness did not disappoint the historic nature of the meeting. Running back Gerald Swain (Burlington, N.J./Burlington) and quarterbacks Aaron Thomas (Oxford, Pa./Oxford) and Steven Torres (Yonkers, N.Y./ASA) spearheaded a comeback effort that saw LU rally from a 21-0 second-quarter deficit. Thomas was 13 of 28 for 104 yards and a touchdown while Torres was 7 of 14 for 107 yards. Swain, meanwhile, ran for 75 yards on 18 carries, both career highs. He also caught two passes for 11 yards.

Defensively, junior linebacker Brucelee Sterile had an incredible 16-tackles, a career high, including one for a loss of seven yards, to lead the Lions.The effort represented LU’s most well-rounded performance to date considering the talent level of the opposition, particularly a shifty, powerful run-

ning back that provided the bulk of the Bison offense.Howard’s Charles Brice scored three touchdowns in the second quarter en route to a 161-yard day on a workmanlike 31 carries. The first came three

minutes into the frame on a run up the middle that he bounced out right and took 34 yards to the end zone. Nine minutes later, he got to the left edge following outstanding blocking for a 12-yard scamper.

LU opened the second half with the ball and immediately went to work. Thomas found Shawn Bethea (Piscataway, N.J./Piscataway) on a slant over the middle for 25 yards, and Swain rushed for nine to move LU to the Howard 23. On fourth-and-7, Thomas tossed a lob to Bethea, who out-jumped the defender for the touchdown with 11:34 left in the third. Bethea had four catches for a season-high 72 yards.

The Lions twice drove deep into Howard territory but came away without points. Torres connected on deep balls with Matthew Coston (Queens, N.Y./Dover), who caught six passes for 80 yards including, setting up potential scoring opportunities. An interception and a failed fourth-down attempt iced the game.

MURFREESBORO, N.C. – Needing to go 92 yards in less than a minute, Lincoln University maneuvered to the Chowan 40 before running out of time, a climactic ending to a record-setting game at Garrison Stadium.

The Lions broke multiple school marks, but penalties and turnovers proved costly as Chowan (2-4, 2-1 CIAA) escaped its Homecoming game with a 30-27 win.

Quarterback Laquan Williams (Philadelphia, Pa./Bartram) threw for 329 yards, besting the 304 set by Brandon Austin last year on Sep. 12 versus Southern Virginia. Matthew Coston set records in receiving yards (157), receptions (nine) and tied his own record with two touchdown grabs.

Overall, Lincoln (1-4, 0-3 CIAA) outgained the Hawks 425 yards to 275, 413 of which came through the air.Like Lincoln’s last road CIAA match-up at Virginia Union, LU started quickly. Williams connected with Shawn Bethea (Piscataway, N.J./Piscat-

away) from 63-yards out, a career-long to begin the non-stop aerial attack. Last week, the junior wide receiver broke out with five catches for 72 yards, but against the Hawks, he one-upped that performance, notching five catches for 93 yards, a career-high.

After a hold by the defense, the Lions again entered the red zone where Williams hit Coston from nine yards out for a 13-0 LU lead with 8:17 left in the first quarter.

CU countered. At 13-10 midway through the second half, Anthony Hooks intercepted Williams, who returned it into Lincoln territory, but on first-and-10, John Mason (Brooklyn, N.Y./Boys’ and Girls’) and Eugene Lancaster (Virginia Beach, Va./Louisburg College) sandwiched Steven Car-roll at the Lincoln 32, but a personal foul by LU prolonged the drive, and on the next play, Carroll found Ryan Murphy alone in the end zone with 7:49 to go for the Hawks’ first lead, a 16-10 advantage.

Williams responded to the interception by connecting with Philip Jean-Juste (Miami, Fla./Miami North Beach) down the steam, who broke a tackle and scampered 71 yards to the end zone for a 20-16 edge with 6:49 left. Jean-Juste finished the day with five snares for 110 yards, both individual highs for the sophomore.

Steven Torres entered the game for Lincoln, and on his first play, he found Coston on a go pattern, which Coston took to paydirt from 42 yards out as Lincoln got within 30-27 with just more than 11 minutes left.

Lincoln would have one last opportunity but could not go the length of the field without any timeouts with less than a minute remaining.

2010 GAME-BY-GAME

BOWIE, Md. —Bowie State delivered the necessary plays late, rallying from a double-digit deficit to defeat the Lincoln University football team, 24-18, at Bulldog Stadium. Rodney Webb’s two-yard touchdown run with 12:56 remaining proved to be the game winner.

Lincoln scored the game’s first 12 points before BSU’s (4-4, 4-1 CIAA) defense demonstrated why it is No. 1 in the CIAA, limiting Lincoln to 207 yards of offense and just 129 yards following LU’s opening score.

After forcing a Bulldog punt, on LU’s first play from scrimmage, sophomore quarterback Laquan Williams (Philadelphia, Pa./John Bartram) faked a handoff to Gerald Swain (Burlington, N.J./Burlington) and raced down the left sideline for a 42-yard gain. Later in the drive, junior back D’Ante Smith (Bowie, Md./Riverdale Baptist), playing in his own Homecoming game of sorts as a Bowie native, not only converted a fourth-and-11 but scampered off tackle down the right seam 26 yards with 8:56 remaining in the opening quarter. It was his first rushing touchdown of 2010.

On Bowie State’s ensuing drive and facing third-and-17, LU defensive end and reigning CIAA Defensive Player of the Week Timothy Green (Fanwood, N.J./Scotts-Plains-Fanwood), sacked dynamic quarterback Clifton Budd and forced a fumble, which he promptly fell on. The offense capitalized when Williams found Anthony Wilson (Philadelphia, Pa./George Washington) while under pressure for a five-yard touchdown connection for a 12-0 LU lead.

Midway through the second quarter, LU appeared to deliver another dagger. Bowie State drove from its own 44 down to the Lincoln seven, but the Lions’ defense stuffed Webb on third-and one, and on fourth-and-one, senior defensive back Jairon Bailey (Los Angeles, Calif./Southwest C.C.) delivered a crushing blow on Webb, stopping him just shy of the marker to force the turnover on downs.

Late in the third, Budd broke left and found a hole and beat the defenders to the corner for a 20-yard touchdown rush with 6:50 left in the third, capi-talizing on a short field aided by a Smith fumble to creep within 18-16. Then, after a Williams fumble set Bowie up at the LU 27, Budd scored from two yards out to give the Bulldogs their first lead at 24-18.

Brucelee Sterile (Miami, Fla./Miami North Beach) led LU in tackles with 11, the third-straight game and 12th time in his career he recorded double-digit stops. Green finished with eight tackles, two sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble. Bailey also had eight stops and a game-high 3.5 tackles for loss with a forced fumble and a recovery

2010 GAME-BY-GAME

PETERSBURG, Va. — Virginia State maintained control of the division with a convincing 42-0 win over Lincoln University.The Trojans remained undefeated in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) North Division by improving to 4-0. The Lions’

quick-strike capability in the preceding conference road games went dormant against the conference’s No. 3 scoring defense entering the game.Lincoln had put up double-digit first-quarter leads in each of its three CIAA road games, but Saturday, Virginia State established control early en

route to a Homecoming win.The offense did have chances, though. Behind a career-high five catches by Philip Jean-Juste for 83 yards, including two catches of at least 20

yards, the Lions saw four drives end inside the red zone. Despite VSU’s highest point output of the season, the game was a defensive struggle. The Trojans totaled just 285 yards of offense but limited

Lincoln to 225 including just 70 on the ground. Relieving injured Laquan Williams, quarterbacks Steven Torres, Aaron Thomas, and Steven Morris, the Lions held a slight edge in the air, 155-145.

The second half was not much different. Virginia State scored touchdowns on its first two drives for an additional cushion, but LU was not without opportunities.

Torres again found Jean-Juste. The 27-yard play moved the ball to the VSU 34, but Torres’ next pass was intercepted by Ian White and returned 70 yards for a touchdown to put the Trojans up 35-0 with 10:02 to go in the third.

In the fourth quarter, Jean-Juste reeled in his a 22-yarder from Thomas. A combined 27 rushing yards by D’Ante Smith on four carries moved Lincoln inside the red zone for the fourth and final time, but Thomas’ pass sailed out of bounds on fourth-and-six and cemented the shutout.

Defensively, LU was led by the familiar linebacker tandem of Brucelee Sterile and Brandon McElwee. Sterile led Lincoln with 13 tackles and reached the double-digit plateau for the fifth time in 2010 and 13th time in his career. McElwee had 10 stops for the first time this year and ninth time overall, but he was a beast behind the line, recording 2.5 tackles for a total loss of 15 yards including an 11-yard sack. He also had a pass breakup.

Junior defensive end Maurice Bertrand had a career-high six tackles.

2010 GAME-BY-GAME

With an ailing offensive line and reserve quarterbacks, the LU football team (1-8, 0-6 CIAA) had overcome a second-half deficit and taken the lead only to see Saint Paul’s College prevail in overtime, 16-13, on 44-yard field goal by Preston McCarthy, spoiling a brilliant defensive effort.

Playing in its Homecoming game, the defense limited the Tigers (2-7, 2-4 CIAA) to just 47 yards of total offense, a school record. The previous record was 81 yards, set against Cheyney on Sep. 5 in the season opener. Linebacker trio Brandon McElwee, Daron Jones and Brucelee Sterile led the way in punishing fashion.

McElwee recorded 15 tackles, the fourth time in his career and first time in 2010 he’s done so. He had six tackles for losses totaling 37 yards including a sack of seven yards. Jones had a personal-best seven stops including two for a loss. Sterile had nine tackles including two sacks and four tackles for loss combining for an unbelievable -65 yards. He also added a blocked extra point that kept the game tied and allowed for overtime.

In total, the Lions wrapped up Saint Paul’s 19 times behind the line of scrimmage for -163 yards. The Tigers finished with 21 rushing yards.Equally impressive, the secondary limited quarterbacks Jay Kenney and Steffen Miller-Colon to a combined 4-of-16 afternoon for 26 yards.Coston led Lincoln in receiving with three catches for 49 yards including one grab going for 31 yards in the second quarter.Minutes later, Gerald Foster sent the near-capacity crowd into frenzy by returning an interception 53 yards for at touchdown, giving LU a 13-7 edge

with 8:41 to go. It was Foster’s second pick of the year giving the junior safety seven overall. He had four in 2009.Saint Paul’s rallied for the tying score. On their next drive, Albert Tinsley rushed 6-yards for a touchdown, but the Tigers were called for unsportsmanlike

conduct following the score. With SPC bumped back 15 additional yards and LU needing to block the PAT, Sterile did just that, soaring from the back row to knock down McCarthy’s boot.

Lincoln, though, would attempt to keep the game out of overtime. With 1:30 to go, Domonic Wright lined up a 35 yarder for the team’s first field goal attempt of the season only to see it blocked by an interior lineman.

In the extra session, Lincoln’s drive ended when sophomore Steven Torres’ pass was picked off on first down. Although Lincoln’s defense actually dropped the Tigers back two yards, McCarthy’s field goal split the uprights easily, ending the game.

Offensively, both team struggled. Lincoln outgained Saint Paul’s 147-47, but turned the ball over seven times. The Tigers’ turned the ball over four times including three times on fumbles and once on the interception, which Foster returned to the end zone.

2010 GAME-BY-GAME

WEST GROVE, Pa. — Lincoln could not send its eight seniors out on top, losing, 36-6, Saturday versus Elizabeth City State University. The Lions were shut out for three quarters as they could not put to use a career day by Kwaheem Smith at Avon Grove High School.

Smith compiled a program-record three interceptions, three tackles and a pass breakup. Brandon McElwee continued his stellar play to end the season as he put up 11 tackles, two tackles for loss and a forced fumble.

Although Matthew Coston was limited to three catches for 52 yards, that was enough to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark for his career. He reached the plateau on a beautiful 43-yard seam pattern thrown by quarterback Laquan Williams. For the season, Coston set new career highs in catches (41), yards (633) and touchdowns (six). Through two seasons, the speedster has 1,013 yards, 10 touchdowns and 70 receptions.

The Dover-native set the single-season record in receiving yards (633), besting the 622 set by Trey Thomas in 2009. Coston should break the school record for career receiving yards, needing just 73 yards to surpass the 1,086 Thomas amassed in 2007 and 2008.

Williams’ return back to the lineup was earlier than many expected. Only three weeks ago, the sophomore signal caller was told that he would be rehabbing a separated shoulder for eight months. But to the surprise of many, he pulled a Brett Favre-esque move and returned to the field.

It was not one of his best games of the season. Williams did score on a one yard keeper to break up the shutout being pitched by the Vikings defense. Williams finished the day 15 for 39 for 108 yards and three interceptions.

Elizabeth City, meanwhile, was coming off a Homecoming victory against Chowan in which DaRonte McNeil accrued a school-record 290 rushing yards. Lincoln kept him in check with 80 yards on 21 carries.

The Vikings found many different ways to score, as they did it early and often. Billy Wiggins took the opening kickoff back 75 yards for the score. A minute later Creven Powell connected with Dexter Manley for a 48 yard score after a Williams interception on LU’s first play from scrim-mage. Nigel Rios took a high snap on a field goal try in for a six-yard score with four minutes remaining in the opening quarter. The Vikings tacked on two more scores to close out the first half.

The defense did settle in. The Lions entered the day ranked No. 18 in the country in total defense, allowing 271 yards. Saturday, they matched it, surrendering 270, with just 14 of those yards coming in the second half.
