UNH coach Pete Rossomando said the Chargers just didn’t make plays.
“We missed a bunch of tackles, we didn’t make a lot of stops when it was critical,” he said. “Offensively, we never seemed to find a rhythm.”
The last time New Haven lost by more than two scores was a 27-7 NCAA Division II playoff loss to Winston Salem State on Dec. 3, 2011. Rossomando said the Chargers need to put the rout behind them and get ready for their Week 2 home opener against Pace.
“I demand that they look at themselves this week and make the adjustments that need to be made so they don’t make the same mistakes twice,” Rossomando said.
Trailing 10-7 late in the second quarter, the Chargers were outscored 21-0 in the last 3 minutes of the quarter and trailed 31-7 at halftime.
“They had that flurry right at the end of the first half that really put us in a hole,” Rossomando said.
The Chargers held West Chester scoreless in the third quarter before being outscored 14-7 in the fourth.
Senior quarterback Ronnie Nelson had a team-high 57 rushing yards, 102 passing yards, threw for a touchdown and ran for one. Sophomore wide receiver Henry Adegunle caught the lone Chargers’ touchdown pass. On defense, senior outside linebacker Sherwood Jonathas had a team-high eight tackles.
