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,
