Last Week – Defeated *Lebanon Valley College, 27-20.  *MAC game

This Week – Sat., Oct. 2nd vs. *King’s College, 1:00 p.m.  *MAC game

            Sophomore tailback Chris Jacoubs (Hopatcong, NJ/Hopatcong HS) had his second straight 200-plus yard game, running for 257 yards on 36 carries with three touchdowns and another score by pass reception to lead Moravian to a 27-20 victory over Lebanon Valley College in a Middle Atlantic Conference game.  The Greyhounds improve to 3-0 overall and in the MAC for the first time since the 2000 season.  Moravian, which was ranked third in the nation in rushing offense entering the game at 358.0 yards per game, ran for 355 yards on 56 attempts and controlled the ball for 34:28 during the game.

 

            The Greyhounds took the opening kickoff down and scored on a 16-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Jerry Venturino (Hopatcong, NJ/Hopatcong HS) to Jacoubs on a fourth-and-15 play from the 16-yard line.  Senior kicker John McLain (Belvidere, NJ/Belvidere HS) had his extra-point blocked giving the Greyhounds a 6-0 lead with 11:28 to play in the first quarter.  Venturino completed eight of 18 passes for 89 yards with the score and an interception in the game.  The Flying Dutchmen responded in just three plays to take a 7-6 lead with 10:03 remaining in the first quarter.

 

            Jacoubs gave the Greyhounds the lead right back with 8:27 left in the first quarter when he bounced a run to the left sideline and scored from 53 yards out.  Venturnio hit freshman tight end Kris Bisci (Easton, PA/Easton HS) with the two-point conversion pass for a 14-7 Moravian lead.

 

            Moravian freshman defensive back Brandon Keiper (Allentown, PA/Parkland HS) forced a fumble on the ensuing kickoff that was recovered by Greyhound senior defensive back Mario Bevilaqua (Scranton, PA/West Scranton HS) at the Lebanon Valley 42.  However, Venturnio was intercepted at the Lebanon Valley five-yard line.  The Greyhounds would force Lebanon Valley to fumble the ball again, this time the loose ball was forced by sophomore linebacker Cliff Garr (Easton, PA/Notre Dame HS) and recovered by junior defensive lineman Robert Stockley (Red Bank, NJ/Middletown South HS).

 

            Moravian started the ensuing drive on the Lebanon Valley 30-yard line after the fumble recovery.  On the third play of the drive with 1:50 remaining in the first quarter, Jacoubs had an 11-yard run to give him 1,501 yards in his brief 13-game Moravian career, making him the ninth player in school history to reach 1,500 yards.  Jacoubs scored his third touchdown, second rushing, on a four-yard run off the left side on the first play of the second quarter.  McLain added the extra-point for a 21-7 Moravian lead with 14:54 in the second stanza.  In just three games in 2004, Jacoubs has 612 yards on 91 carries.

 

            On Lebanon Valley’s next drive, junior defensive lineman Steve Cline (Union Beach, NJ/Keyport HS) forced another fumble for Moravian and Garr fell on the ball at the Lebanon Valley 46-yard line.  Jacoubs would finish off the 11-play, 46-yard drive with an eight-yard touchdown run with 6:56 remaining in the second quarter.  McLain missed the extra-point wide right to give Moravian a 27-7 lead.  The Greyhounds had one last drive in the first half after forcing the Flying Dutchmen to turn the ball over on downs at the Moravian 22-yard line.  However, Moravian ended the half with an incomplete pass on fourth down at the Lebanon Valley 21-yard line.  Before that play, the Greyhounds had been four-for-four on fourth down attempts in the game.

 

            Each team was unable to score on their first drives of the second half.  Lebanon Valley turned the ball over on downs while Venturino had the ball slip out of his hands for a fumble while trying to complete a pass.  The Flying Dutchmen scored the first points of the second half to pull within 27-14 with 1:55 to play in the third quarter.  Moravian tried to put its first points of the second half on the scoreboard on the second play of the fourth quarter, however, sophomore kicker Michael Liccketto (Barrington, NJ/Haddon Heights HS) missed a 26-yard field goal wide left. 

 

            The Greyhounds’ would force another Lebanon Valley turnover on the first career interception by Garr at the Lebanon Valley 20 with a three-yard return to the 17-yard line.  However, the Greyhounds turned the ball over on downs inside the ten-yard line.  On the ensuing drive, another touchdown pulled Lebanon Valley within 27-20 with 3:02 remaining in the game.  The Flying Dutchmen forced Moravian to punt on the Greyhounds’ final possession of the game.  Lebanon Valley took over at its own 20-yard line and drove down to the Moravian 23-yard line before Moravian junior defensive back Tyler Chomik (Allentown, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) intercepted a Kelly pass in the end zone as time expired in the game.  Chomik and freshman linebacker Arturo Duran (Ridgewood, NJ/Ridgewood HS) led the Moravian defense with eight tackles while Garr contributed seven tackles, a sack, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

 

            For the Greyhounds, sophomore running back Marc Panepinto (Perkiomenville, PA/Boyertown HS) added 39 yards on seven carries while junior fullback Kevin Lukich (Ogdensburg, NJ/Wallkill Valley HS) had 34 yards on five carries.  Bisci was Moravian’s leading receiver with three catches for 29 yards while sophomore wide receiver Shawn Martell (Bethlehem, PA/Bethlehem Catholic HS) had two receptions for 26 yards.
