CWRU Athletics

Chukwuocha helped lead a strong defensive effort for the Spartans in a 42-14 win over Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. Against a team that entered the game as one of the top passing teams in the Presidents' Athletic Conference this season, Chukwuocha helped hold the Bearcats scoreless through the first three quarters and to just 364 total yards and 259 passing yards (117 of which came after he left the game in the fourth quarter). He finished the game with five tackles (four solo), one pass breakup, and his first interception of the season, which came with 1:08 left in the second quarter and stalled a Saint Vincent drive at the Spartans' 23-yard line. Halfway through the season, Chukwuocha has 25 tackles (18 solo) with 2.0 tackles for loss, one interception, a team-high four pass breakups, and one quarterback hurry. The Spartans have won two games in a row to improve to 2-2-1 for the season.
