District college football roundup: No. 6 California clinches PSAC West

No need to use a pingpong ball to determine a conference champion.

No. 6 California made quite sure of that Saturday.

Garry Brown caught two touchdown passes and returned a punt for a score, the defense held No. 24 Edinboro to just 231 yards of offense, and the Vulcans (9-0, 7-0) soared to a 52-7 win at home to clinch the PSAC West title.

Had Edinboro (8-2, 5-2) sprung an upset, it would’ve created a three-way tie with No. 11 IUP, and the PSAC would’ve drawn a pingpong ball to determine its winner.

Instead, the Vulcans (9-0, 7-0) are the unquestioned West champions and are headed to the PSAC title game to face Kutztown.
