Football – 2-0 (MAC 2-0)

Last Week – Defeated Susquehanna University, 32-13. *MAC game

This Week – Sat., Sept. 25^th at *Lebanon Valley College, 1:00 p.m. *MAC game

Sophomore tailback Chris Jacoubs (Fair Haven, NJ/Rumson-Fair Haven HS) ran for 216 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Moravian College football team to a 32-13 win over Susquehanna University in Middle Atlantic Conference football action at a rain-drenched Steel Field in Bethlehem. Jacoubs, who has now run for 1,406 yards, tenth all-time at Moravian, in just 12 career games, carried the ball 40 times for the Greyhounds (2-0 overall, 2-0 MAC), who finished the game with 59 yards passing. Jacoubs, whose 216 yards was the fourth best day in school history, is also the first player in Moravian history with at least 200 yards in two games during his career, and he needs just 17 yards to move into ninth all-time. Jacoubs also owns the Moravian single game record with 319 yards last November at Albright College.

After both offenses stalled for a pair of drives to open the game, the Greyhounds pounded the Crusaders exclusively on the ground as Jacoubs ran 30 yards for a touchdown to complete a seven-play, 93-yard drive and give the Greyhounds a 7-0 lead with 5:06 remaining in the first quarter. Senior kicker John McLain (Belvidere, NJ/Belvidere HS) added the extra-point for Moravian, and McLain made two of four extra-point attempts in the game and averaged 43.0 yards on four punts with a loss of 63 yards that pinned the Crusaders at the one-yard line in the second quarter.

The Greyhounds then surprised the Crusaders with an onsides kick, but Susquehanna fell on the ball at the Moravian 47. On the next play, Susquehanna scored on a 47-yard touchdown pass. The extra point attempt failed, keeping the Moravian lead at 7-6. After an offsides call on the ensuing kickoff forced the Crusaders to re-kick from their own 30, Moravian senior wide receiver Jed Warsager (Andover, NJ/Newton HS) returned the boot untouched 79 yards for a touchdown to push the Greyhounds’ lead to 14-6 at the 4:29 mark. The kickoff return for a touchdown was the second of Warsager’s Moravian career; the other was a school record return of 98 yards at Lebanon Valley College in 2002.

Two plays after recovering a fumble, Jacoubs ran 30 yards down the left sidelines for a touchdown to increase the Greyhounds’ lead to 20-6 with 7:01 left in the half. After freshman Arturo Duran (Ridgewood, NJ/Ridgewood HS) intercepted a tipped pass early in the fourth quarter, Jacoubs finished off the drive on a 4-yard touchdown run to restore the lead to 26-13. The interception was Duran’s second of the season.

The Greyhounds finished off the scoring on a third-and-eight from the Susquehanna 33 with 3:57 remaining when Moravian sophomore wide receiver Ben Hawkins (Belmar, NJ/Belmar HS) found a wide-open Warsager on a wide receiver option pass to increase the Moravian lead to 32-13.

The Greyhounds ran for over 330 yards for the second straight game this season, racking up a total of 377 yards on 71 attempts. Junior fullback Kevin Lukich (Ogdensburg, NJ/Wallkill HS) added a career high 94 yards on 13 attempts while Venturino has 29 yards on eight carries despite being sacked three times. The Greyhounds’ running game also allowed Moravian to have a 37:24 to 22:36 advantage in time of possession. Venturino completed three of eight attempts for only 26 yards.

Senior linebacker Bill Carasia (Fair Haven, NJ/Rumson-Fair Haven HS) led the Greyhound defense with nine tackles while Chomik had six tackles, a interception and three pass break-ups. Junior linebacker Chad DeFelice (Pen Argyl, PA/Pen Argyl HS) also had six tackles with one for loss while senior defensive back Bill Skriletz (Coopersburg, PA/Southern Lehigh HS) and junior defensive back Gerald Weiss (Gilbertsville, PA/St. Pius X HS) each had five stops. Skriletz had three pass break-ups and a tackle for loss while Weiss added a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and a pass break-up for the Greyhounds.
