Byron Cooper (Widener / Sr., DE / Philadelphia, Pa.) led the Pride’s defensive efforts in 30-17 win over King’s. Cooper finished with a game-high 12 tackles, four sacks and a forced fumble to go with several key stops. Leading by six points (23-17) in the waning minutes, the senior registered back-to-back sacks and forced a fumble on the second sack to give the ball back to his offense on the King’s five yard line. Cooper had five total tackles for loss for a total of 34 yards.
