WASHINGTON, Pa. - The Bethany College football team fell to Washington & Jefferson (Pa.) College by a final score of 56-0 in a Presidents' Athletic Conference game at Cameron Stadium.
Bethany (2-4, 1-3 PAC) took on Washington & Jefferson (4-1, 3-0 PAC) to open the back half of the 2026 schedule with yet another opportunity to spoil an opposing Homecoming. The Green and White defense combined for a season-high 74 tackles against the Presidents and continued to stay at the top of the PAC's interceptions leaderboard by adding two against an offense that came into the weekend with only one interception thrown on the year. The B-Men now enter their bye week for some extra preparation ahead of the team's penultimate home game.
