LAST TIME THEY MET: In Allentown last fall, Moravian quarterback Jerry Venturino completed 12 of 21 passes for 206 yards and a touchdown, and he ran for 38 yards on nine carries to lead the Greyhounds to a 24-19 victory over rival Muhlenberg College in the season finale for both schools at Frank Marino Field and Scotty Wood Stadium. Moravian, which snapped a three-game losing streak to Muhlenberg, finishes the 2005 regular season with a 6-4 overall record. Moravian wide receiver Ben Hawkins and Muhlenberg quarterback Eric Santagato were named the Most Valuable Players of the game. Hawkins caught two passes for 125 yards and a touchdown that covered 64 yards, and he had one carry for 11 yards. The teams began the game by trading punts on the first four possessions of the game. On the Greyhounds’ third drive of the game, junior running back Chris Jacoubs moved past former Widener University and NFL star Billy “White Shoes” Johnson for fourth in the MAC record books with 3,733 yards in his career. However, Moravian was forced to punt for the third time in the first quarter. Jacoubs finished the game with 89 yards on 34 carries to raise his career total to 3,794 yards in three seasons including 954 in 2005. The Greyhounds would get possession back on the first play of the second quarter when linebacker Chad DiFelice intercepted a pass at the Mules’ 44-yard line and returned it six yards. Moravian would move down to the 20-yard line, using eight plays to cover the 18 yards. Kicker Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville HS) connected on a 37-yard field goal, his school record-tying ninth of the season, giving the Greyhounds a 3-0 with 11:04 to play in the second quarter. However, Muhlenberg returned the ensuing kickoff 94-yards for a touchdown after a fake reverse. The extra-point gave the Mules a 7-3 lead with 10:48 left in the first half. The kickoff return for a touchdown was Muhlenberg’s fourth in the last seven games against Moravian. On Moravian’s next drive, the Greyhounds faced a third-and-two from their own 31-yard line, when Venturino connected on a 61-yard pass and run to Hawkins to set up a first-and goal from the eight-yard line. On third and goal from the three-yard line, Venturino handed the ball off to running back Marc Panepinto (Perkiomenville, PA/Boyertown HS), who tossed the ball back to Jacoubs who would dive inside the left pylon for the touchdown, capping a six-play, 77-yard drive. Reckenbeil added his 26th consecutive extra-point for a 10-7 Moravian lead with 8:22 remaining in the second quarter. The touchdown was Jacoubs’ tenth of the season and the 36th of his career. Moravian would kickoff from midfield after a personal foul penalty on the touchdown. The Mules ran a reverse on the kickoff, but the Greyhounds were ready, forcing Muhlenberg to begin its drive from its own 10-yard line. The Mules would pick-up two first downs, but eventually were forced to punt for the third time in the game. Muhlenberg would get the ball back after just two plays when the Mules intercepted a Venturino pass at the Moravian 46-yard line. The Greyhound defense would force the Mules to turn the ball over on downs at the Moravian 25-yard line with 39 seconds left in the first half. The Mules received the opening kickoff of the second half and were forced to punt after just three plays. On Moravian’s first possession of the second half, the Greyhounds faced a third-and-11 from their own 36-yard line when Venturino connected with Hawkins on a 64-yard catch and run down the right sideline for a touchdown. Reckenbeil’s extra-point gave Moravian a 17-7 lead with 10:07 to play in the third quarter. On the play, Moravian would take over at its own 13-yard line after forcing a punt. The Greyhounds faced a fourth-and five when Venturino found wide receiver Shawn Martell (Bethlehem, PA/Bethlehem Catholic HS) for a 23-yard reception to the ten-yard line. On the next play, fullback Kevin Lukich run up the middle for a ten-yard touchdown, his second touchdown of the year. Lukich finished the game with 34 yards on six carries. Reckenbeil connected on another extra-point to extend the Greyhounds’ lead to 24-7 with 1:42 remaining in the third quarter. The extra-point gave Reckenbeil 28 straight for the season and a total of 55 points. The Greyhounds would again kickoff from midfield after another unsportsmanlike penalty against the Mules on the touchdown. The kickoff would result in a touchback. Muhlenberg would pick up three first downs and move into Moravian territory. Two more first downs would give the Mules a first-and-goal from the four-yard line on the final play of the third quarter. Muhlenberg would score on a four-yard touchdown run to cap a seven-play, 80-yard drive. The touchdown was Muhlenberg’s first offensive touchdown in 14 quarters. The extra-point was wide right to cut Moravian’s lead to 24-13 with 14:54 remaining in the game. Moravian would gain one first down on its next possession; however, the Greyhounds would be forced to punt. The Mules began from their own 36-yard line. Muhlenberg would run just three plays before attempting a fake punt. The Mules punter completed a pass, but Moravian defensive back Carl Robinson (Boothwyn, PA/Garnet Valley HS) tackled the Mule player short of the first down, giving the Greyhounds possession at the Muhlenberg 44-yard line with 9:52 remaining in the game. Moravian would punt the ball back to the Mules after three plays. Muhlenberg needed just three plays to cover the 80-yards and score its third touchdown of the game on a 45-yard pass and run. The Mules went for two but Moravian defensive back Israel Aguila (Bethlehem, PA/Freedom HS) knocked down the pass. However, the Greyhounds were called offsides on the play, giving Muhlenberg a second chance. Muhlenberg attempted a halfback option pass on the second try for two, but that was knocked away by Moravian cornerback Tyler Chomik leaving the score 24-19 Moravian with 7:16 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Greyhounds expected the Mules to onside kick, a play that has burned Moravian several times in the last few games between the schools, but the Mules kicked deep for a touchback. Moravian gained one first down but was forced to punt. Corey Czerniak punted down to Muhlenberg. As the Mules started to return the ball, Moravian long snapper Pat Kane forced a fumble. Kane fell on the ball to give the Greyhounds possession back at the Muhlenberg 39-yard line with 4:55 remaining in the contest. Moravian would gain one first down and move down to the Muhlenberg 21-yard line. On fourth-and four, Reckenbeil attempted a 38-yard field goal that came up wide right and short. The Mules took over at their own 21-yard line, trailing 24-19 with 2:22 remaining on the clock and no time outs. Muhlenberg gained four yards on a first down run; however, three incomplete passes turned the ball back over to Moravian on the Mule 25-yard line with 1:55 remaining. Moravian took three knees and a run by Panepinto finished off the game. Martell caught three passes for 36 yards while tight end Kris Bisci (Easton, PA/Easton HS) and wide receiver Cletus Kilker each caught two passes, Bisci for 15 yards and Kilker for 13 yards. Linebacker Cliff Garr (Easton, PA/Notre Dame HS) led the Moravian defense with seven tackles while safety Mario Bevilacqua and linebacker Andrew Morrissey (Emmaus, PA/Emmaus HS) each had six tackles.

The 55 points allowed by Moravian is the most since a 56-21 loss to Widener University on October 23, 1983, and the first time the Greyhounds have allowed over 50 points since a 52-26 loss to Muhlenberg College in 1999. Lebanon Valley received the opening kickoff and a 43-yard return set the Flying Dutchmen up at the Moravian 47-yard line. Lebanon Valley needed just seven plays to take a 7-0 lead with 11:55 remaining in the first quarter. On the ensuing kickoff, Moravian sophomore wide receiver Antuan Dixon (Kansas City, MO/St. Mark’s HS) fumbled the ball at the Moravian 35-yard line with Lebanon Valley recovering at the Moravian 41-yard line.

The Flying Dutchmen drove 58 yards in just four plays for a 21-0 lead with 9:32 to play in the first quarter. Moravian would begin its second possession of the game at its own 37-yard line. The Greyhounds put together a 12-play, 63-yard drive to score. Freshman quarterback Ryan Rempe (Dickson City, PA/Mid-Valley HS) connected on a five-yard pass to junior tight end Kris Bisci for Bisci’s fifth touchdown reception of the season. Sophomore Brian Reckenbeil added the extra-point to cut the Lebanon Valley lead to 21-7 with 2:51 remaining in the first quarter. Rempe completed seven of 13 passes for 59 yards while Bisci caught five passes for 46 yards. The Flying Dutchmen answered right back with a seven-play, 72-yard drive. The extra-point was blocked by Moravian senior defensive line Alex Smith-Constantine (Secaucus, NJ/Secaucus HS) to leave the score at 27-7 with 14:56 remaining in the second quarter. The Greyhounds got another good kickoff return from Dixon and started at the Lebanon Valley 43-yard line. Eight plays later, McCambridge ran off the left side for an 11-yard touchdown run including a flip over a defender at the two-yard line into the end zone. Reckenbeil added the extra-point to cut the deficit to 27-14 with 10:58 remaining in the first half. Lebanon Valley scored again for a 34-14 lead with 7:56 remaining in the second quarter. Each team would finally have to punt in their next possession and the Flying Dutchmen forced their third turnover of the game with an interception at the Moravian 19-yard line. Rempe’s pass was intended for junior wide receiver Sean Hill (West Reading, PA/Wyomissing HS), who tipped the ball in the air for the interception. Four plays later, Lebanon Valley scored for a 41-14 lead with just 25 seconds remaining in the first half. The Greyhounds needed just one play to start the second half with a score. Hill returned the second half kickoff to the Moravian 44-yard line. On the first offensive play, McCambridge took the handoff and raced down the right side line for a 56-yard touchdown run. Reckenbeil made the extra-point to cut the Lebanon Valley lead to 41-21 with 14:29 remaining in the third quarter. The touchdown was McCambridge’s seventh rushing touchdown on the year and eighth overall, and he finished the game with 148 yards on 22 carries for his third 100-plus yard game in four contests. The Moravian defense forced the Flying Dutchmen into a three-and-out, but Greyhounds sophomore wide receiver Tyler Hersch (Macungie, PA/Emmaus HS) fumbled the punt return with Lebanon Valley covering the ball at the Moravian 43-yard line. The Greyhound defense would force another punt; however, Moravian would only run three plays before punting itself.
