WASHINGTON, Pa. (October 25) - The Waynesburg University football team made the short trip up I-79 North on Saturday to face Washington & Jefferson on Saturday. It had to feel like a much longer trip home for the Yellow Jackets after suffering a 56-0 loss to the Presidents.
 
W&J (5-2, 5-0) Led 14-0 at the end of the first quarter and grew its advantage to 35-0 at halftime.
 
Waynesburg (2-6, 2-4) had one bright spot on the day, in the person of junior defensive back Joanes Polynice (Winter Garden, Fla. / West Orange), who continued a fantastic first season in Orange and Black. Not only did he reach nine total tackles for a fourth-straight games and five games overall, but he logged a game-high 3.0 tackles for loss and recovered his second fumble of the season.
 
The Jackets will try to put Saturday's defeat behind them when they travel to Bethany on Saturday, Nov. 1. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m.
