The football team traveled north to face the Central Washington Wildcats in Ellensburg where they were utterly hosed to the tune of 0-35.

Ultimately the Wolves would get 107 yards on the day. Philip Fenumiai was back under center, where he completed 9 out of 27 passes and took five sacks. First-year running back Torreahno Sweet ran for 37 yards to lead the rushing game.

The defense was lead by redshirt sophomore Bo Highburger on the line, hitting 11 tackles on the day.

“We just struggled to get anything going as a team,” Highburger said. “But we are confident with our matchup this week, we’re looking forward to taking a step in the right direction.”

Once again, football follows a win with a loss, making it five games in a row on a win-loss rollercoaster. This bodes well as the Wolves look to rebound once again in the Humboldt State game.
