East Stroudsburg seeks revenge
The Warriors, coached by Jimmy Terwilliger, have won seven straight since losing 59–35 to Slippery Rock on September 12.
That defeat saw Jordan rush for 228 yards and three touchdowns as the Rock accumulated 594 offensive yards.
Since then, East Stroudsburg has changed quarterbacks, with Lehigh transfer Matt Machalik taking over. He has thrown for 980 yards and eight touchdowns while rushing for another two scores.
Running back Ajani Walker leads the ground attack with 638 yards and five touchdowns, while receiver Elijah Ford has 33 receptions for 636 yards and four scores.
Kicker Ty Quintois provides another weapon, converting 21 of 25 field goals, including a 55-yarder.
Warriors defense faces ultimate test
The East Stroudsburg defense has been particularly impressive since the September defeat, allowing just 413 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns over its subsequent seven games.
Linebacker Camerin Gross leads the Warriors with 58 tackles and 10.5 tackles for loss, while Ashton Blose has contributed 45 tackles and 3.5 sacks.
The Warriors surrender just 17.1 points per game, setting up a fascinating confrontation with the Rock’s high-powered offense.
Championship history and playoff implications
Slippery Rock seeks its first PSAC championship since 2019, while East Stroudsburg makes its first title-game appearance since 1983 and pursues its first crown since 2003.
The Rock leads the all-time series 17–3, including six consecutive victories.
Both teams have already secured NCAA Division II playoff berths, but Saturday’s winner will claim the conference’s automatic qualification and potentially improve its national playoff positioning.
With the Rock ranked second and the Warriors sixth in the NCAA Power Index, this championship could have implications extending well beyond the conference trophy.
