MORAVIAN’S CHAD DiFELICE & JED WARSAGER NAMED CO-NATIONAL DEFENSIVE & SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYERS OF THE WEEK BY DON HANSEN’S FOOTBALL GAZETTE

WESTMONT, IL --- --- Junior linebacker Chad DiFelice (Pen Argyl, PA/Pen Argyl HS) and senior wide receiver Jed Warsager (Andover, NJ/Newton HS) of the Moravian College football team have been named Co-National Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Week by Don Hansen’s National Weekly Football Gazette for their performances last Saturday in Moravian’s 35-27 victory versus FDU-Florham.

DiFelice, who shares national honors with three other players, was also named the Middle Atlantic Conference Defensive Player of the Week. DiFelice opened the scoring in the second half when he returned a fumble 40 yards for a touchdown. He finished the game with ten tackles (six solo stops) with four tackles for loss, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble.

Warsager, who was also the MAC Special Teams Player of the Week and shared national honors with one other player, put Moravian ahead for good in the second half when he returned a kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown, just 11 seconds after FDU-Florham had tied the game. The kickoff return for a touchdown was the second this season for Warsager and the third of his Moravian career. Warsager had a total of four kickoff returns for 157 yards in the game, and he caught one pass for 17 yards on a fourth-and-15 play that setup the Greyhounds’ final touchdown of the game.

The win lifted Moravian to 6-0 overall and 6-0 in the MAC for the first time since the 1940 season, tying the school mark for single season winning streak at six games, done four other times. The Greyhounds are scheduled to return to action on Saturday, October 23rd in an MAC game at Lycoming College kicking off at 1:00 p.m. at David Person Field in Williamsport.
