Prior to those two wins, the Diplomats had won seven straight games in the series. The two schools first met on the gridiron on September 24, 1932.

LAST TIME THEY MET: In Bethlehem on September 12, 1992, Moravian earned a 14-7 victory over Franklin & Marshall College to open the season. The Diplomats jumped out to a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter on a 17-yard scoring pass from Bill Meekings to Zach Kraft. The Greyhounds would respond with 3:02 remaining in the first quarter on a 35-yard scoring strike from John Mattes to Jud Frank. Bill Koy's extra-point tied the game at 7-7. The Greyhounds would complete the scoring in the second quarter when Frank scored on a two-yard run and Koy's extra-point gave Moravian a 14-7 lead with 8:40 left in the second quarter. Frank finished the game with 85 yards on 20 carries, and he added three receptions for 46 yards. Mattes completed eight of 12 passes for 88 yards. Running back Craig Cubbin added 65 yards on ten carries for the Greyhounds while wide receiver Doug Durepo had two receptions for 15 yards. Meekings completed 23 of 47 passes for 212 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions for the Diplomats while Kraft caught eight passes for 85 yards. Curt Wilson caught six passes for 38 yards while Eric Cappleman has three receptions for 45 yards for F&M.

Shane Hollawell led the Greyhound defense with nine tackles while Rob Carpenter and Paul Woodling each had seven stops. Chris Stamm had two interceptions for the Greyhounds. Brian Smolskis and Todd Gregory paced the F&M defense with 15 tackles while Geoff Mills added nine tackles for the Diplomats.

LAST WEEK: The Muhlenberg College defense, ranked number one in the nation, limited Moravian offense to just 194 yards on 60 plays while the Mules used trick plays and ball control on offense to earn a 28-14 victory over the Greyhounds in the regular season finale between the two rivals at Steel Field. The Mules, who held the ball for 34:09 in the game, improve to 8-2 on the year and have won three straight over Moravian while the Greyhounds fall to 7-3 after starting the season with a school record seven-game winning streak. After the game, the media and sports information staffs voted Muhlenberg senior linebacker Ryan Peer and Moravian sophomore linebacker Cliff Garr (Easton, PA/Notre Dame HS) the Players of the Game. Peer had seven tackles and blocked an extra-point for the Mules defense while Garr led the Greyhound defense with 13 tackles, two tackles for loss and a fumble recovery for a touchdown. Moravian received the opening kickoff and was forced to punt after three plays. However, Greyhound senior punter John McLain (Belvidere, NJ/Belvidere HS) pinned the Mules on the four yard line after a 53-yard punt. On the third play of the drive, the Mules were called for holding in the end zone which gave Moravian a safety and a 2-0 lead with 12:05 remaining in the first quarter. The Greyhounds would take the ensuing free kick down to the Muhlenberg 27-yard line after four plays, but the Mules defense stiffened and forced Moravian to turn the ball over on downs, one of five times in the game. Muhlenberg would take 10:48 off the clock on back to back touchdown drives, taking a 13-2 lead. Moravian would run 11 plays on its next drive and move to the Muhlenberg 33-yard line before turning the ball over on downs again. After forcing the Mules to punt, McLain had a punt blocked with Muhlenberg taking over on the Moravian 20-yard line. Six plays later, the Mules took a 20-2 lead with 35 seconds remaining in the second quarter. Moravian would score the first points of the second half on the first play of the fourth quarter when sophomore running back Chris Jacoubs (Fair Haven, NJ/Rumson-Fair Haven HS) took an option pitch from junior quarterback Jerry Venturino (Hopatcong, NJ/Hopatcong HS) in from nine-yards out. The play finished off a five-play, 27-yard drive that started when sophomore wide receiver Shawn Martell (Bethlehem, PA/Bethlehem Catholic HS) recovered a fumble punt return by the Mules. On the extra-point attempt by Moravian senior Ken Macaulay (Perkasie, PA/Pennridge HS), Muhlenberg blocked the kick, and the ball eventually ended up in the hands of Mule freshman defensive back Ryan Merrill, who returned it for a two-point defensive conversion, giving the Mules a 22-8 lead with 14:53 remaining in the fourth quarter. Jacoubs, the nation’s fifth-leading rusher, finished the game with just 94 yards on 26 carries, only the second time this season he was held under 100-yards. Jacoubs finishes the regular season with a school record 1,619 yards on a school best 317 carries. He also set school marks with 15 rushing touchdowns, 18 total touchdowns and 108 points. Jacoubs is second all-time with 2,670 yards in two seasons, just 81 yards shy of tying Jim Joseph’s career record. On the ensuing kickoff, the Mules ran a reverse and returned the kick 85 yards for a touchdown. The Mules attempted a two-point conversion pass that fell incomplete, setting the score at 28-8 with 14:41 remaining in the contest. With just under five minutes remaining in the game, Venturino was intercepted at the three-yard line to give the Mules possession. On the second play, Garr recovered a fumble in the end zone for Moravian’s final points. Moravian attempted a two-pointer conversion with Jacoubs, who he was stopped short of the end zone, setting the final score at 28-14 with 3:54 left in the game. Venturino completed nine of 31 passes in the game for 100 yards; however, he was intercepted three times and sacked once. Sophomore wide receiver Ben Hawkins (Belmar, NJ/Manasquan HS) caught five passes for the Greyhounds for 65 yards to give him 1,022 career receiving yards, just the 13th player in Moravian history to reach the 1,000-yard receiving yardage milestone. In addition to Garr’s 13 tackles for the Moravian defense, junior defensive Gerald Weiss (Pottstown, PA/St. Pius X HS) and junior linebacker Chad DiFelice (Pen Argyl, PA/Pen Argyl HS) each had ten tackles.
