Widener University Athletics

Byron Cooper led the football team's defensive efforts in a 30-17 road win over King's this past weekend. He contributed a game-high 12 tackles, four sacks and a forced fumble to go along with several key stops.

With Widener ahead by a 23-17 score in the waning minutes, the senior registered back-to-back sacks and forced a fumble on the second tackle to give the ball back to the offense on the King's five yard line and set up another score.

Cooper also had five tackles for a loss totaling 34 yards in the game to help the program improve its record to 6-2 against MAC competition this season.
