MORAVIAN’S RECKENBEIL NAMED CENTENNIAL CONFERENCE SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Brinkerhoff & McCambridge Earn Spots on the Honor Roll

LANCASTER, PA --- Senior kicker Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville HS) of the Moravian College football team has been named the Centennial Conference Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in the Greyhounds’ 33-10 Centennial Conference victory over Johns Hopkins University Saturday afternoon at Rocco Calvo Field.

Senior defensive back Erik Brinkerhoff  (Boonton, NJ/Boonton HS) and senior running back Tyler McCambridge (Northampton, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) earned spots on the Centennial Conference Weekly Honor Roll.

Reckenbeil, pictured at right, set a pair of school records in the victory over Johns Hopkins.  He connected on four field goals, a new school mark, in five attempts, and Reckenbeil made all three of his extra-points to extend his streak to 51 straight makes and to give him a school record 15 points in the game.  Reckenbeil, who was also the Centennial Conference Special Teams Player of the Week on September 7th, made field goals of 22, 28, 30 and 26 yards and was wide right on a 41-yard attempt in the second quarter.  Reckenbeil, the school record in all but one kicking category, has moved into third in school history in overall scoring with 185 points in his career on 34 field goals and 83 extra-points.  Reckenbeil averaged 55.6 yards per kickoff in the game on seven kickoffs. 

Brinkerhoff, pictured at left, contributed seven tackles with two solo stops, one of Moravian’s two tackles for loss and his first interception of the season, one of five turnovers Moravian forced.  Brinkerhoff made his interception at the ten-yard line when the Blue Jays were driving, and he returned it 16 yards.

McCambridge, pictured at right, helped the Moravian offense score on two of its first four plays in the win.  McCambridge scored on a 22-yard touchdown on the first offensive play of the game for his seventh rushing touchdown of the season.  He then caught an 81-yard touchdown pass on the Greyhounds’ fourth play, the second longest scoring pass in school history.  McCambridge finished the game with 64 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries, and he also had three receptions for 90 yards and a score.  On special teams, McCambridge returned three kickoffs for 78 yards with a long return of 41 yards, and he had a 17-yard punt return that set up the third of Moravian’s four field goals in the game.

The Greyhounds will return to action on Saturday, October 4th in a Centennial Conference game at Dickinson College with kickoff slated for 1:00 p.m. in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
