CHEYNEY—Franklyn Quiteh (Tobyhanna, Pocono Mountain West) rushed for 122 yards and scored two touchdowns to lead Bloomsburg University (5-1,3-0 PSAC East) to a 52-14 win over Cheyney University (1-5, 1-2 PSAC) Saturday afternoon. The win was the fifth straight for the Huskies after an opening season loss.

Quiteh, who went into the contest as Division's II leading rusher, got the Huskies off to a quick start when he scored on a two-yard run on the opening drive of the game. Quiteh, who was averaging over 183 yards a game, carried six times for 44 yards on the drive.

After Bloomsburg's Alex Landis (Pine Grove/Pine Grove) intercepted a Cheyney pass on the Wolves first series, the Huskies quickly scored again. On the first play of the drive quarterback Pat Carey (Loyalsock, Loyalsock Twp.) hit Tyler Guise (Mechanicsburg, Cumberland Valley) for a 30-yard completion to the Cheyney 23-yard line. Quiteh then went those final 23 yards to make it 14-0 with 6:12 left in the first period.

In the second quarter Carey threw two touchdown passes, one a 62-yard completion to Kyle Fisher (Denver, Cocalico) and the other a 20-yard scoring strike to Cory Stiger (Williamsport, Loyalsock Twp.). Bloomsburg closed out the scoring when Dan Fisher (Liverpool, Central Dauphin) hit a 36-yard field goal, his 10th of the season, for a 31-0 lead at the break.
