At Muhlenberg College - Lost 7-0 - Box Score

            Freshman quarterback Dan Deighan threw a six-yard touchdown pass to sophomore tight end Steve Liparini for the only score as the Muhlenberg College football team posted 7-0 win over rival Moravian College Saturday afternoon at Scotty Wood Stadium and Rocco Calvo Field to close out the 2009 season.
            The Mules finish the year 3-7 overall and 2-6 in Centennial Conference action while the Greyhounds finish the year at 2-8 overall and 2-6 in Centennial Conference action.  Moravian’s last 2-8 season was back in 1999.
            Muhlenberg junior linebacker Andy Curley was named the Bianco Award winner as the Mules’ most valuable player while Greyhound junior defensive lineman Allen Petros, pictured at right, was named Moravian’s MVP.  Curley had seven tackles with two and a half sacks for a loss of 18 yards while Petros had three tackles, all for loss, with a sack for nine yards and a pass break-up.
            For Moravian, the shutout was the team’s third of the season, the first time since 1986 the Greyhounds were shut out three times in a season.  The 1986 squad was shutout four times and finished at 4-5-1.  Moravian scored just 66 points this season, the fewest in school history in a ten-game season and the fewest since the 1979 squad scored just 55 points in an 0-9 season.
            Muhlenberg received the opening kickoff but would punt after three plays.  The Greyhounds would get a first down on its first play of the game on an 11-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Steve Panasuk to junior wide receiver Shawn Sylvainus, pictured at left.  However, Moravian would be forced to punt after three more plays.
            The Mules would gain a pair of first downs on their next drive on a pair of pass by Deighan, one to senior wide receiver Phil Cresta and the other to Liparini.  Muhlenberg eventually punted, and the Greyhounds would run just three plays before junior Eric Dziengelski punted for the second time in the game.  On the first play of Moravian’s drive, senior running back Ryan Rempe picked up two yards to give him 1,501 in his career, the 11th player in Greyhound history to gain over 1,500 yards in a career.
            Muhlenberg would pick up a pair of first downs to move the ball to the Moravian 39-yard line on a Deighan pass to Liparini and a Deighan run, but a pair of holding penalties and a tackle for loss by Greyhound junior linebacker Anthony Carney would force the Mules to punt from near midfield.  Moravian started from its own 18-yard and would punt after just three plays on the final play of the first quarter.
            The Mules started on the Moravian side of the field and picked up two first downs on a pair of runs by senior running back Codie Bender to move down to the Greyhound 25-yard line but another holding penalty forced junior Jason LoPipero to punt for the fourth time in the game.  LoPipero pinned the Greyhounds at their own 16-yard line, and Moravian ran just three plays before Dziengelski’s punt.
            Sophomore defensive back Steve Nissley returned the punt 28-yards down to the Moravian 19-yard line.  The Mules needed five plays to get on the scoreboard on a six-yard touchdown pass from Deighan to Liparini.  Junior kicker Michael Katz added the extra-point to give Muhlenberg a 7-0 lead with 8:12 to play in the second quarter.
            Moravian ran just two plays before committing the first turnover of the game.  Rempe, pictured at right, lined up at quarterback, the position he was recruited at when he came to Moravian, and had his first pass intercepted by Mule senior defensive back Cameron Ahouse.  The Mules couldn’t move the ball and punted after three plays but a roughing the punter call on Moravian kept possession with Muhlenberg.  The Greyhound defense would hold and force another punt after three plays that LoPipero kicked out of bounds at the Moravian 11-yard line.
            The Greyhounds would put together their best drive of the half at the end of the second quarter.  Moravian picked up three first downs, one on a run by Rempe, one on a run from sophomore tight end Mike Zanoni and one on a completion from Panasuk to junior wide receiver Alex Hersch to move out to the Moravian 44-yard line.  However, a pair of sacks by Curley would force the Greyhounds into a third-and-24, and Moravian would run out the clock to end the first half.
            Moravian received the opening kickoff of the second half, and the Greyhounds picked up two first downs including a 31-yard pass from Panasuk to senior tight end Brian Dencker on a third-and-17 play.  Moravian faced a fourth-and-seven at the Muhlenberg 26-yard line, and Panasuk’s pass to Sylvainus down the right side line into the end zone was just out of Sylvainus’ reach.
            The Mules picked up a first down on their first play of the half on a pass from Deighan to Cresta, but Muhlenberg would punt after just three more plays.  The Greyhounds picked up a first down on a 26-yard end around run by Hersch, pictured at left, on the second play of the drive, but two Muhlenberg sacks and a penalty forced Moravian to punt from its own 28-yard line.
            Muhlenberg gained one first down on its next drive on a pass from Deighan to Bender before a LoPipero punt forced the Greyhounds to start from their own 16-yard line.  Moravian would punt again after three plays.
            The Mules would move into the red zone for the second time in the game on their next drive.  Deighan hit Liparini with a first down pass and Bender picked up another first down.  Muhlenberg eventually faced a fourth-and-eight at the 14-yard line when Katz came on to attempt a 32-yard field goal.  Katz’s attempt hit the right upright, leaving the Muhlenberg lead at 7-0 with 10:10 to play.
            Moravian moved backwards on its possession on a tackle for loss and a Muhlenberg sack, and the Greyhounds would punt after three plays.  The Mules started in Moravian territory at the 44-yard line and got a first down on a 13-yard pass from Deighan to junior Bobby Bushong before having to punt.
            The Greyhounds started at their own five-yard line and would gain a first down on a 27-yard run by Rempe.  However, Panasuk was intercepted by Muhlenberg sophomore defensive back Chris Hartzell at the Mule 39-yard line.  A penalty on Moravian would give the Mules the ball at the Moravian 46-yard line.  The Greyhound defense would hold and forced a punt with 1:18 to play.
            Moravian started at its own 15-yard line on its final drive.  Panasuk found Sylvainus with a ten-yard completion on the first play of the drive, but a pair of Mule sacks, the final one by senior linebacker Frank Emmett made the Greyhounds turn the ball over at their own 11-yard line with 35 seconds to play.
            The Mules had 182 yards of total offense on 56 plays with Deighan completing 13 of 20 passes for 137 yards and a touchdown while being sacked four times.  Liparini caught five passes for 56 yards with his touchdown while Cresta had three receptions for 41 yards.  Bushong had two catches for 19 yards while Bender grabbed two passes for 14 yards.  Muhlenberg had just 45 yards on 36 carries in the game with Bender picking up 30 yards on 18 carries.  Freshman running back Terrence Dandridge added 26 yards on five carries.
            The 182 yards for the Muhlenberg offense was 74 yards below its season average.  The Moravian defense held all but one Centennial Conference offense below its season average, and the Greyhounds kept four teams – Muhlenberg, Dickinson College, Franklin & Marshall College and Gettysburg College – to 74 or more yards below their season average.  The only Centennial Conference team to reach its normal offensive output against the Moravian defense was Johns Hopkins University, which only had 48 more yards that its average against the Greyhounds.
            Moravian had 146 yards of offense on 55 plays with Rempe gaining 75 yards on 20 carries to finish his career 11th in school history with 1,570 yards on 425 carries, sixth in school history.  Hersch had 26 yards on his only rushing attempt, and he caught three passes for 32 yards.  Sylvainus had four receptions for 33 yards to move into 16th in career receiving yardage at 1,095 yards on 74 receptions, which is also 16th in school history with a year remaining in his career.  Dencker, pictured at right, grabbed three passes for 42 yards in his final collegiate game for the Greyhounds while Zanoni had ten yards on four carries.  Panasuk completed ten of 18 passes for 107 yards with an interception, and he was sacked nine times in the game.
            On special teams for Moravian, freshman defensive back/kick returner Travis King had one kickoff return of 27 yards to give him 26 kickoff returns for the season, a new Moravian single season record, for 615 yards, second in school history.  Dziengelski, pictured at left, finished the game with seven punts for 228 yards giving him 65 punts for 2,192 yards this season, both the second highest in school history.
            Junior linebacker Patrick McDonough led the Muhlenberg defense with nine tackles including one and a half tackles for loss and a sack while junior linebacker Scott Lissner had seven tackles with a half a sack to go with Curley’s seven tackles.  Senior defensive lineman Jake Floyd had six tackles with three for loss and a sack while Hartzell made six stops to go with his interception.  Sophomore defensive lineman Michael Kellum added three tackles with two and a half tackles for loss and two sacks.
            Freshman linebacker Jake Hildebrand led the Greyhound defense with seven tackles including two tackle for loss and a sack.  Junior linebacker Philip Bortz, sophomore defensive back David Wacker and senior linebacker Jayson Williams, pictured at right, all had six tackles for Moravian with Williams adding a tackle for loss while senior defensive back Brad Bodine had five tackles in his final collegiate game.  Junior defensive back Daniel Burley and sophomore linebacker Evan Bauer each had four tackles with Bauer adding a sack while Petros had three tackles, all for loss.

At Ursinus College - Won 20-19 - Box Score

            Sophomore kicker Ian Heck kicked a 22-yard field goal with 7:33 to play and sophomore quarterback Steve Panasuk, pictured at right, threw a pair of third quarter touchdowns to lead the Moravian College football team to a 20-19 come-from-behind win at Ursinus College in Centennial Conference action Saturday afternoon at Patterson Field.
            The Greyhounds snapped their six-game winning streak with the victory to improve to 2-7 on the season and 2-5 in Centennial Conference action.  The Bears, who entered the game in a four-way tie for first place in the conference, fall to 4-4 overall and 4-2 in Centennial Conference play.
            Ursinus received the opening kickoff and moved into Moravian territory, and the Bears picked up a fourth-and-one to put the ball on the Greyhound 30-yard line.  On the next play, Greyhound sophomore defensive back David Wacker intercepted a pass by Ursinus senior quarterback Justin Decristofaro at the Moravian-nine-yard line.
            The Greyhounds were unable to move the ball with junior punter Eric Dziengelski punting after three plays.  Ursinus would move down into Moravian territory again after the punt but the Greyhounds would force another turnover in the red zone.  Freshman defensive back Travis King intercepted Decristofaro at the Moravian 19-yard line.
            Moravian would pick up a first down on a run by senior running back Ryan Rempe, pictured at left, before punting again.  The Bears moved into the red zone at the Moravian 12-yard line.  However, Decristofaro had a fourth-down pass attempt knocked down by Greyhound junior defensive lineman Allen Petros to give Moravian the ball.
            The Greyhounds ended up punting after three plays.  Dziengelski’s punt was blocked in the end zone by sophomore defensive end Sean Whalen; however, the ball bounced right back into Dziengelski’s hands, and he attempted a pass to King that was knocked down.
            The Bears needed just three plays to get into the end zone on a two-yard run from freshman running back Teddy Conrad. Sophomore kicker Keith Baker added the extra-point to give Ursinus a 7-0 lead with ten minutes remaining in the second quarter.
            Moravian ran just three plays before a Dziengelski punt for the fourth time in the first half.  Ursinus once again moved into Greyhound territory but faced a fourth-and-one at the Moravian 31-yard line.  Decristofaro fumbled the snap on a quarterback sneak, but junior center Bob Wise covered the ball.  However, the recovery was shy of the yardage needed for a first down so the Greyhounds took over at their own 31-yard line.
            Moravian would put together its first sustained drive of the game after the defensive stop.  Rempe picked up ten yards on first down to move into 11th in school history in career rushing yardage, now with 1,495 yards on 405 carries.  The Greyhounds would get a first down on a pass interference penalty, and Rempe ran for another first down to move to the Ursinus 27-yard line. 
            Facing third-and-ten, Panasuk hit junior wide receiver Shawn Sylvainus, pictured at right, with a screen pass that Sylvainus took to the Ursinus six-yard line.  On the reception, Sylvainus became the 18th player in school history to reach 1,000 career receiving yards, and he is now 17th with 1,062 yards on 70 receptions.  Rempe would get the Greyhounds to the two-yard line but a stop on a second down and an incompletion to an open senior tight end Brian Dencker on third down forced a field goal attempt.  Heck drilled the 19-yard kick to pull Moravian within 7-3 with just 16 seconds left in the first half.
            Ursinus covered a squib kick at its own 36-yard line, and Decristofaro hit sophomore wide receiver Al Desiderio with a 40-yard reception to set up a scoring chance for the Bears.  Baker came on and connected on a career long 42-yard field that bounced off of the crossbar for a 10-3 Ursinus lead at the half.
            To start the second half, each team would lose yardage on its first drive of the half before punting.  Moravian would get a first down on a Rempe run to move into Ursinus territory but the Greyhounds had to punt.  Dziengelski’s punt bounced off the helmet of Bear junior linebacker Joe Galie.  Desiderio grabbed the ball at the Ursinus ten-yard line and raced 90 yards for a touchdown.  Baker’s extra-point attempt bounced off the right upright and was no good to give Ursinus a 16-3 lead with 9:08 to play in the third quarter.
            The Greyhounds picked up a first down but would punt for the seventh time in the game on their next possession.  The Moravian defense would force a three and out before taking over at its own 33-yard line.
            Moravian faced a third-and-three when Panasuk hit Dencker, pictured at left, with a 37-yard reception to the Ursinus 23-yard line.  After a Rempe run for two yards, Panasuk found freshman wide receiver Albie Moran wide open down the right sideline for a 21-yard touchdown pass.  Heck made the extra-point to pull Moravian within 16-10 with 3:47 remaining in the third quarter.
            Heck would attempt a short kickoff down the right side of the field, and Greyhound senior defensive back Kyle Krupa covered the ball at the Ursinus 29-yard line to give Moravian possession.  The Greyhounds would capitalize after a six-play drive with Panasuk finding Sylvainus in the front left front corner of the end zone.  Heck’s extra-point gave the Greyhounds a 17-16 lead with 50 seconds remaining in the third quarter.  On the drive, Moravian faced a fourth-and-12 but the third pass interference penalty of the game against Ursinus gave the Greyhounds the ball at the Bears’ 16-yard line.
            Ursinus picked up a first down on a 17-yard completion from Decristofaro to sophomore wide receiver Nick Giarratano; however, the Greyhound defense would stiffen and force a punt.  Moravian would have to punt after three plays, and a 27-yard punt return by Desiderio would put the Bears at the Greyhound 38-yard line
            The Bears would need seven plays to retake the lead.  Ursinus moved down to the Moravian 11-yard line before settling for a 29-yard field goal by Baker to give the Bears a 19-17 lead with 10:30 left in the four quarter.
            Moravian would go right down the field to retake the lead.  Rempe started the drive with a 14-yard run, and Panasuk found Sylvainus with a 43-yard reception on third-and-eight to put the ball at the Ursinus six-yard line.  Heck came on to make a 22-yard field goal with 7:33 to go, giving Moravian a 20-19 lead. The points were the first of the season for the Greyhounds in the final 15 minutes of a game.
            The Bears were forced to start at their own nine-yard line after a holding penalty on the kickoff return.  Ursinus would move the ball down to the Moravian 27-yard line but Decristofaro threw two incomplete passes before a sack by junior linebacker Philip Bortz and freshman linebacker Jake Hildebrand, pictured at right, forced a third-and-13.  After a Bears’ timeout, Decristofaro was sacked on a safety blitz by Wacker to give Moravian the ball at the Greyhound 40-yard line.
            Moravian gave the ball to Rempe the ball three times to try and run out the clock but Rempe lost control of the ball on third down with Ursinus’ freshman defensive lineman Sam Morgan.  Ursinus was unable to move the ball on four incomplete passes by Decristofaro with break-ups by King on second down and senior defensive back Brad Bodine on fourth down.  The Greyhounds kneeled down three times to end the game.
            The Greyhounds had 251 yards of total offense on 64 plays with Panasuk completing six-of-20 passes for 139 yards with two touchdowns, no interceptions and no sacks.  Panasuk also gained nine yards on two carries.  Sylvainus grabbed three passes for 80 yards while Dencker had two receptions for 38 yards.  Rempe had his third 100-yard game of the season, running for 105 yards on 37 carries. 
            Ursinus had 313 yards on 72 plays in the game with just 88 yards in the second half on 34 plays.  Decristofaro was 17 of 34 for 189 yards, but he was intercepted twice and sacked three times, and he ran ten times for 24 yards.  Giarratano caught a game high six passes for 78 yards while senior wide receiver Shea Wisler had two catches for 25 yards.  Conrad led the Bears with 74 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries while sophomore running back Travis Evans had 26 yards on five attempts.

Vs. Juniata College - Lost 10-3 - Box Score

            Senior quarterback Alex Snyder threw a 30-yard touchdown sophomore wide receiver Abram Mellinger on the fifth play of the game, and the Juniata College football team made the seven-point edge hold for a 10-3 Centennial Conference victory at Moravian College on Homecoming at Rocco Calvo Field Saturday afternoon.
            Both teams are now 1-7 overall and 1-5 in Centennial Conference action. 
            The Greyhounds attempted an on-side kick to start the game but Juniata starting tailback, junior Derek Kramer covered the ball at the Moravian 42-yard line.  Kramer, who finished with a game high 74 yards on 25 carries, picked up a rushing first down before Snyder found Mellinger over the middle for the scoring pass.  Freshman Scott Andrews added the extra-point to give the Eagles a 7-0 lead just 2:34 into the game.  Snyder was ten-for-16 in the game for 110 yards while Mellinger caught three passes for 38 yards.
            Moravian was unable to picked up a first down on its first drive of the game after starting for its own 40-yard line.  Junior Eric Dziengelski came on to punt for the first of four punts in the game.
            Juniata started at its own 34-yard line and would flip the field on a 40-yard pass from Snyder to senior wide receiver Matt Dunker, who caught a game high six passes for 68 yards.  The Eagles would get to the one-yard line on a run by Kramer but the Greyhound defense would stand tall and keep Kramer out of the end zone on two straight attempts, forcing Juniata to settle for an 18-yard field goal by Andrews, giving the Eagles a 10-0 lead with 7:08 to play in the first quarter.
            Moravian picked up two first downs on its next drive, a scramble by sophomore quarterback Andy Polony and a run from senior tailback Ryan Rempe.  However, the Greyhounds turned the ball over on downs at the Juniata 22-yard line when Polony threw an incomplete pass on fourth-and-four.
            On the next four possessions, the teams would trade two punts apiece.  Late in the second quarter, Juniata faced a fourth-and-27 on its own 27-yard line after back to back sacks by Moravian freshman linebacker Jake Hildebrand and senior linebacker Jayson Williams, pictured at right.  On the punt attempt, Greyhound senior linebacker Derek Protasiewicz would get in on Juniata junior punter Owen Phillips, forcing Phillips to attempt a shovel pass to senior defensive back Beau Ryan, who was tackled short of a first own.
            The Greyhounds took over at the Juniata 40-yard line with 2:38 left in the first half.  Polony hit junior wide receiver Shawn Sylvainus with a 13-yard completion for a first down, and then Polony found freshman wide receiver Albie Moran for a ten-yard completion for another first down at the ten-yard line.  After a pass interference penalty in the end zone gave Moravian a first down at the two-yard line, Rempe was stopped for no gain and a loss of a yard as the clock ran out on the Greyhounds at the end of the half.
            Moravian received the opening kickoff of the second half and picked up a pair of first downs on passes of ten and 13 yards from sophomore quarterback Steve Panasuk to senior tight end Brian Dencker, pictured at left.  However, Moravian would be forced to punt with Dziengelski’s punt rolling out of bounds at the Juniata two-yard line.
            The Eagles were unable to move the ball and Phillips had to punt out of his own end zone under pressure from Protasiewicz again.  The punt traveled just 11 yards, giving Moravian possession in the red zone at the Juniata 19-yard line.  The Greyhounds picked up a first down on a Panasuk run but were unable to get into the end zone.  Sophomore kicker Ian Heck came in and made a 19-yard field goal to cut the Juniata lead to 10-3 with 5:07 remaining in the third quarter.
            Juniata almost answered on its next possession.  The Eagles moved from their own 34-yard line down to the Moravian five-yard line.  Facing a fourth-and-one, Andrews came on to attempt a 22-yard field goal but Moravian junior linebacker Jason Pauloski came through the left side of the line and blocked the kick. 
            Two plays after the blocked kick and on the first play of the fourth quarter, Panasuk’s pass attempt to Dencker was too high and intercepted by Juniata senior defensive back Kyle McKechnie at the Moravian 34-yard line.  However, the Eagles were unable to capitalize and punted after three plays.
            Moravian started from its own 16-yard line and would move into Juniata territory on a 40-yard pass from Panasuk to junior wide receiver Alex Hersch.  Two plays later, Panasuk was hit from behind by Juniata sophomore defensive lineman Jason Marquis, fumbling the ball.  Moran scooped up the loose ball behind the line of scrimmage and raced around the backfield and down the far sideline, reaching the end zone.  However, Moravian was called for a penalty on the play, negating the apparent touchdown and eventually having the Greyhounds turn over the ball on downs after a pair of incomplete passes by Panasuk.
            Juniata would punt after three plays, and the Eagle defense kept Moravian from moving the ball.  The Greyhounds attempted a fake punt on fourth down but freshman linebacker Stephen Kircher only gained five yards on a fourth-and-seven play.
            The Eagles again failed to move the ball, and Phillips would pin the Greyhounds back at their own-four-yard line with his sixth punt of the game.
            Moravian started its final drive of the game with 3:53 remaining.  The Greyhounds picked up four first downs on the drive, three on passes by Panasuk and the other on a ten-yard run by Panasuk to reach the Juniata 45-yard line.  However, Panasuk missed on four straight passes, two of which were broken up by Juniata senior defensive back Brandon Spayd, to give the Eagles the ball back with 1:10 remaining.  Juniata kneeled down twice to run out the clock.
            The Greyhounds had 267 yards of offense on 71 plays with Rempe, pictured at right, leading the rushing attack with 60 yards on 21 carries.  Rempe moved into 12th in school history, now with 1,390 yards, and he is sixth in career rushing attempts with 368 carries.
            Panasuk was 13 of 25 for 120 yards and an interception in the second half of the game while Polony was nine of 13 for 64 yards in the first half.  Sophomore tight end Mike Zanoni led Moravian with six receptions for 36 yards while Hersch caught four passes for 65 yards.  Dencker also had four receptions for 31 yards while Rempe caught four passes for 14 yards.  Sylvainu , pictured at left, added two receptions for 25 yards and is now just 18 yards shy of becoming the 18th player in school history with 1,000 career receiving yards.  Moran had two catches for 13 yards.
            The Eagles were limited to 173 yards of total offense on 51 plays, and Juniata had just 50 yards rushing on 34 carries as Snyder was sacked three times and the Moravian defense registered ten tackles for loss.

            Moravian’s offense continued to struggle, moving just five yards on its next drive before junior punter Eric Dzingelski, pictured at right, connected on a career long punt of 53 yards, putting the Lebanon Valley offense on its own one-yard line after Greyhound freshman defensive back Travis King raced to keep the ball from rolling into the end zone.  Dzingelski punted nine times in the game for Moravian with an average of 36.0 yards while King returned three kickoffs for 62 yards.
            Lebanon Valley would put together a 12-play, 95-yard drive moving down to the Moravian four-yard line with sophomore quarterback/punter Colt Zarilla leading the offense.  Zarilla had a 28-yard completion to Brennan to move the ball to the Moravian five-yard line.  The Flying Dutchmen settled for a 21-yard field goal from senior kicker Dan DiBona with 12:22 remaining in the game for the final points of the contest.
            After the teams traded punts, Lebanon Valley took over at its own 24-yard line with 6:33 left on the clock and would move into the red zone before running out the clock to end the game.
            Fick completed 15 of 19 passes for 201 yards with an interception while Zarilla was three-for-five for 76 yards, and Zarilla punted three times for an average of 40-7 yards for the Flying Dutchmen.  Donovan caught six passes for 57 yards while Guiles hauled in four catches for 42 yards to go with a game high 135 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries.  Brennan added three receptions for 104 yards while Scott had 37 yards on ten carries.  Junior running back Cruz Mannherz had 24 yards on six carries for the Flying Dutchmen.
            Panasuk was 13 of 23 in the game for the Greyhounds for 118 yards while being sacked three times.  Sylvainus caught three passes for 33 yards while sophomore tight end Mike Zanoni had two catches for 29 yards.  Falco added two receptions for 23 yards. 
            Freshman running back Rocco Del Priore led the Moravian rushing attack with 22 yards on nine carries as the Greyhounds were limited to 14 total rushing yards on 25 carries.  Freshman running back Langston Ross had ten yards on eight carries, and he added three kickoff returns for 70 yards.
            Homer led the Lebanon Valley defense with seven tackles including four for loss, one and a half sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.  Junior defensive back Dane Eichelberger and junior linebacker Alex Gilchrist each had six tackles including one for loss, and Gilchrist also had two pas break-ups.
            Senior defensive back Brad Bodine, pictured at left, led the Greyhound defense with ten tackles while Bauer had nine tackles with a half a tackle for loss, and interception and a pass break-up.  Senior defensive back Kyle Krupa and sophomore defensive back David Wacker each added six tackles for Moravian.  Junior defensive lineman Allen Petros had the Greyhounds’ only sack among his four tackles in the game.

Vs. McDaniel College - Won 21-16 - Box Score

            Sophomore quarterback Steve Panasuk completed 12 of 22 passes for 175 yards and a pair of first half touchdown passes to junior wide receiver Shawn Sylvainus , pictured, while junior linebacker Anthony Carney forced a key fumble with just 50 seconds remaining to lead the Moravian College football team to a 21-16 victory over McDaniel College in the 2009 Centennial Conference opener for both schools Saturday afternoon at a rainy Rocco Calvo Field.
            The Greyhounds improve to 1-1 overall and 1-0 in Centennial Conference action with the win while McDaniel falls to 1-1 overall and 0-1 in conference play.  Moravian has now won all three of its Centennial Conference season openers against McDaniel but Saturday’s game was the closest of the three.
            Moravian, which was limited to 85 yards passing and just 225 yards on total offense in its season opening loss at Susquehanna with Panasuk out with an injury, had 237 yards including 167 through the air and 12 first downs on 40 plays in the opening half against McDaniel.  The second half was a different story as the Greyhounds ran just 19 plays in the final 30 minutes for minus 13 yards and no first downs.
            The start of the game looked ominous for Moravian as Greyhound freshman defensive back Travis King was hit from behind by McDaniel freshman defensive back Tim McLister, fumbling the ball.
            The Green Terror took over at the Moravian 21 yard line and needed just four plays including three rushes from senior running back T. J. Develin to score.  Freshman kicker Nick DeLuca made the extra-point to give McDaniel a 7-0 lead just 1:16 into the game.
            King would return the ensuing kickoff 18 yards to set the Moravian offense up at its own 32-yard line.  However, King, who entered the game leading the Centennial Conference in kickoff return average, was injured on the play and did not return.  On the Greyhounds first offensive play, senior running back Ryan Rempe ran for 16 yards, but he too was injured and missed the rest of the game.  Facing a third-and-ten, Panasuk completed his first pass for 11 yards to senior tight end Brian Dencker and a first down.  Two plays later, Panasuk hit a wide open Sylvainus behind the McDaniel defense for a 38-yard scoring pass.  Sophomore Ian Heck made hit first-ever collegiate extra-point to tie the game at 7-7 with 10:36 left in the first quarter.
            McDaniel would pick up a first down on its next drive but would eventually punt with sophomore punter Jake Nichols punt rolling dead at the Moravian four-yard line.
            The Greyhounds put together a 14-play, 96-yard drive to take the lead.  Panasuk had two first downs by passing, and Moravian picked up a third first down on a McDaniel penalty to move the ball to the Green Terror-48-yard line.  However, the Greyhounds faced a fourth-and-six and lined up to punt.  Freshman linebacker Stephen Kircher would take a direct snap on the play and run for 14 yards and a touchdown.  Two plays later, Panasuk connected with Sylvainus again, this time from 30 yards to five Moravian a lead it wouldn’t relinquish.  On the extra-point attempt, a bad snapped rolled to Heck’s feet, leaving the score at 13-7 Moravian with 22 seconds left in the first quarter.
            The Green Terror would get a 46-yard pass completion from sophomore quarterback Tom Massucci to senior wide receiver Matt Cahill on the first play of the second quarter to get into the red zone, but the drive would stall with Moravian’s defense stuffing junior running back Ray O’Hara a yard short of the first down at the Greyhound 10-yard line.
            Moravian put together another long scoring drive, this time 90 yards on nine plays.  On the second play of the drive, Panasuk hit sophomore running back Phillip Redline with a 39-yard completed, and Panasuk connected on a 15-yard completion to Dencker on the next play.  A roughing the quarterback call would move the Greyhounds into the red zone.  Facing a third-and-four, Panasuk found junior wide receiver Alex Hersch with a seven-yard completion for a first down at the four-yard line.  The first down was Moravian’s 12th and final first down of the game.
            Three plays later, senior running back Anthony Falco scored his first touchdown of the season on a three-yard carry.  Moravian went for a two-point conversion with Panasuk finding Dencker, pictured, wide open off the left side to give Moravian a 21-7 lead with 8:47 to go in the first half.
            On McDaniel’s next drive, the Greyhounds forced a turnover when sophomore linebacker Evan Bauer hit Massucci on a blind side blitz and forced a fumble.  Junior defensive lineman Jacob Millen recovered the ball for Moravian.
            The Greyhounds only ran three plays before giving the ball back to the Green Terror.  McDaniel senior defensive back Travis Weinrich stepped in front of a Panasuk pass for an interception Weinrich returned 41 yards to the Moravian 21-yard line.  Three plays later, Develin scored from five yards out to cut the score to 21-13 with 4:39 remaining in the first half.  On DeLuca’s extra-point attempt, Millen pushed through the middle of the line to block the kick.
            Moravian freshman running back Langston Ross would set the Greyhound offense up at the McDaniel 32-yard line with a 52-yard kickoff return, however; Moravian turned the ball over on downs when Panasuk’s fourth down pass attempt to Dencker was broken up by senior linebacker Mike Weick.
            Each team would punt on its next possession.  The Green Terror took over at the Moravian 47-yard line with 43 seconds remaining in the first half and were moving the ball when Greyhound senior defensive back Brad Bodine intercepted a Massucci pass at the Moravian nine-yard line to essentially end the half with the Greyhounds leading 21-13.
            McDaniel received the opening kickoff of the second half and would pick up a pair of first downs to move to the red zone.  Faced with a fourth-and-13 from the Moravian 23-yard line, DeLuca lined up for a 40-yard field goal attempt and drilled it to cut Moravian’s lead to 21-16 with 10:44 to go in the third quarter.
            Moravian junior wide receiver Eric Woodruff looked to give the Greyhounds good field position with a long kickoff return, but a holding penalty on the run back forced Moravian to start at its own 33-yard line.  Panasuk would be intercepted for the second time in the game on the third play of the drive as McDaniel junior defensive back Chris Kolb cut inside Hersch to grab the ball at the McDaniel 40-yard line.
            The Green Terror picked up two first downs before punting after a penalty set McDaniel up with a first down and 21.  Moravian, starting from its own ten-yard line managed just three plays and six yards before punting.
            McDaniel would punt on the first play of the fourth quarter as the teams traded punts on the next four possessions.  The Green Terror eventually took over at the Moravian 43 yard line and picked up two first downs while moving into the red zone.  McDaniel would bring DeLuca on to attempt a 29-yard field goal on a fourth-and-seven play, but a bad snap on the attempt gave Moravian possession at its own 22-yard line.
            Once again, Moravian had just three plays on offense before punting for the fifth time in the game.  McDaniel started what would be its final drive on its own 48-yard line.  The Green Terror picked up a first down on a fourth-and-two play when Massucci hit freshman quarterback/wide receiver Kevin White with an eight-yard pass, and McDaniel moved to the Moravian 22-yard line on a five yard pass from Massucci to sophomore tight end Woody Butler.
            On the next play, Massucci found Develin with a swing pass to the Moravian 21-yard line, and with Develin fighting for extra yardage, Carney, pictured, hit Develin from behind and forced the ball loose.  Moravian junior defensive back Daniel Burley grabbed the ball and returned it to the Moravian 30-yard line, giving the Greyhounds possession with 50 seconds to play and McDaniel having just two timeouts.  The Greyhounds would run out the clock to seal the victory.
            Redline led the Moravian rushing attack with 43 yards on 17 carries as the Greyhounds ran for just 49 yards on 37 carries.  Sylvainus caught four passes for 74 yards with his two scores while Dencker had three receptions for 32 yards.  Hersch grabbed three passes for 27 yards while Redline had two receptions for 42 yards.
            Develin turned in a career high 148 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries to lead McDaniel while O’Hara added 18 yards on six carries.  Cahill led nine different Green Terror players catching a pass with four receptions for 85 yards while Butler had four receptions for 36 yards.
            Moravian senior linebacker Derek Protasiewicz led the Moravian defense with ten tackles while Burley had seven stops with a tackle for loss and his fumble return.  Freshman linebacker Jake Hildebrand also had seven stops while Bauer made six tackles with his sack and forced fumble.  Junior linebacker Phillip Bortz added six stops with two pass break-ups while senior defensive back Kyle Krupa had five tackles with three passes defended including one that may have gone for a touchdown if Krupa had held onto the ball.  Carney made four tackles including his game-ending forced fumble.
            Kolb led the Green Terror defense with a game high 11 tackles to go with his interception while Weick had nine tackles with half a tackle for loss.  Senior linebacker Tommy Prazenica added eight tackles with a tackle for loss and a fumble recovery on the opening kickoff while junior defensive lineman Mike Ford had six tackles with three and a half sacks and four and a half tackle for loss all in the second half.

At Susquehanna University - Lost 24-0 - Box Score

            Senior running back Dave Paveletz ran for 185 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries, and he also caught a touchdown pass to lead the Susquehanna University football team to a 24-0 victory over visiting Moravian College in non-conference action Saturday afternoon at Nicholas A, Lopardo Stadium and Amos Alonzo Stagg Field to begin the 2009 season.
            The Crusaders are now 1-0 on the year with their first season-opening shutout since 1979.  The Greyhounds, who lost their season opener for the first time since 2006, fall to 1-0.  It was also the first time Moravian was shutout since the 2007 season.
            The Crusaders took the opening kickoff and drove 64 yards on eight plays with sophomore quarterback Rich Palazzi hitting Paveletz with a three-yard touchdown pass that was tipped by a Moravian defensive player and another Susquehanna receiver before Paveletz grabbed the ball out of the air.  Junior Bobby Eppleman made the extra-point to give Susquehanna a 7-0 lead with 10:29 left in the first quarter.  Palazzi was 11 of 16 in the game for 178 yards with a touchdown and an interception. 
            Moravian would pick up a pair of first downs, the first on a ten-yard pass completion from sophomore quarterback Andy Polony to junior wide receiver Shawn Sylvainus and the other on a 14-yard from senior tailback Ryan Rempe.  However, the drive would end with the first collegiate punt by junior Eric Dzingelski.
            Susquehanna’s next drive would go just three plays before ending in an Eppleman punt.
            The Greyhounds again picked up two first downs before punting again on the first play of the second quarter.  Polony hit senior tight end Brian Dencker with an 11-yard pass for a first down while Rempe had a 12-yard run.
            On the third of the Crusaders next drive, Moravian junior defensive back Daniel Burley intercepted a Palazzi pass at the Susquehanna 30-yard line and returned it to the 13 yard line.  However, three plays later, Susquehanna linebacker Mitch Phillips intercepted Polony at the Crusader five and returned it to the 43-yard line.
            Susquehanna moved the ball to the Moravian 27-yard line before the Greyhound defense stopped Paveletz on a fourth-and-two.  However, Moravian would punt after just three plays.
            The Crusaders put together a nine-play, 72-yard scoring drive with Paveletz capping off the drive with a two-yard dive over the top for the touchdown.  Eppleman’s kick put the score at 14-0 with 2:58 to play in the second quarter.  During the drive, Palazzi completed four straight passes for first downs for a total of 58 yards.
            Moravian picked up a first down on a Rempe run on its next drive and another on a Susquehanna penalty after Polony was sacked.  However, Crusader senior defensive back Josh Simpson intercepted Polony’s next pass at the Susquehanna 18-yard line.  The Crusaders took a knee to end the half.
            The Greyhounds received the opening kickoff of the second half and started with a 19-yard run by Rempe.  Senior quarterback Patrick Weiss then hit junior wide receiver Alex Hersch with a 25-yard completion to the Susquehanna 13-yard line.  Facing a third-and-four at the seven, Weiss had a pass intercepted at the goal line by Crusader junior defensive back Branden Klingler.
            Susquehanna would not be able to move the ball, punting from its own endzone.  Moravian picked up a first down but Weiss’s pass to Sylvainus on a fourth-and-11 play was incomplete as Sylvainus came down out of bounds.
            The Crusaders would then embark on an 11-play, 64-yard drive with ten straight runs to start the drive.  After the Moravian defense held in the red zone, Susquehanna was forced to settle for a 23-yard field goal by Eppleman to extend the lead to 17-0 with 1:37 to play in the third quarter.
            Moravian would run just three plays before punting again.  Susquehanna would need just three plays to extend its lead with 64-yard touchdown run by Paveletz.  Eppleman added the extra-point for a 24-0 lead with 13:25 remaining in the game.
            The Greyhounds would drive into the red zone for the third time in the game on the next drive on a 21-yard pass from Weiss to Hersch.  However, Moravian turned the ball over on downs when Dencker was unable to hold on to a Weiss pass on fourth down from the seven yard line.
            The teams would trade punts before Susquehanna took over at its own 26-yard line to run out the clock.
            Paveletz also led the Crusaders in receiving with four receptions for 60 yards while sophomore wide receiver Mike Ritter had four receptions for 56 yards.  Sophomore running back Josh Gordon added 48 yards on seven carries.
            Weiss was three-for-14 in the game for 54 yards while Polony completed four-of-eight passes for 31 yards.  Hersch caught two passes for 46 yards while Dencker had two receptions for 19 yards and Sylvainus added two catches for 15 yards.  Rempe led the Greyhounds with 97 yards on 19 carries while sophomore running back Philip Redline had 25 yards on eight carries.  Weiss added 32 yards on three carries.
            Phillips led the Susquehanna defense with seven tackles with one tackle for loss while senior defensive lineman Marc McDonough had six tackles with two sacks.
            Junior defensive lineman Allen Petros led Greyhounds with eight tackles with two for loss and a sack.  Junior linebacker Philip Bortz and sophomore defensive back David Wacker each had seven tackles while freshman linebacker Evan Bauer added six stops.  Freshman defensive back Travis King had four tackles in his collegiate debut while returning five kickoffs for 118 yards and a punt for eight yards.
