This Week – Sat., Sept. 17^th at *King’s College, 1:30 p.m. *MAC game

The Moravian College football team ran for 299 yards on 50 carries with a pair of touchdowns, and the Greyhounds’ defense added another score as Moravian earned its first victory of 2005 defeating Susquehanna University, 22-10, in a Middle Atlantic Conference game at Rocco Calvo Field. Moravian improves to 1-1 overall and 1-1 in the MAC.

The Greyhounds needed just two plays and a total of 57 seconds to take an early 6-0 lead. Junior tailback Chris Jacoubs (Fair Haven, NJ/Rumson-Fair Haven HS) ran for four yards on the first play of the game. Senior fullback Kevin Lukich (Ogdensburg, NJ/Wallkill Valley HS) took the next handoff and rumbled 63 yards up the middle for a touchdown. The run was the longest of Lukich’s career. Freshman Brian Maida’s (Freehold, NJ/Freehold Boro HS) extra-point attempt was wide.

On Susquehanna’s third play of the game, Moravian junior linebacker Cliff Garr (Easton, PA/Notre Dame HS) intercepted a pass and returned it 32 yards for a touchdown. Maida added the extra-point for a 13-0 Moravian lead with 12:24 remaining in the first quarter.

Neither team would score again until the third quarter, although both squads missed field goal attempts in the second quarter. Maida was wide right from 28-yards out just two seconds before the intermission.

After forcing a punt on Susquehanna’s first possession of the second half, the Greyhounds would drive 67 yards in eight plays and score on a 13-yard run by Jacoubs with 10:12 left in the third quarter. Maida’s extra-point was blocked by Susquehanna and returned for a two-point, defensive extra-point giving Moravian a 19-2 lead.

Moravian would force Susquehanna to punt again, however, a fumble on the punt return gave the ball right back to the Crusaders. After driving inside the ten-yard line, Susquehanna was forced to attempt another field goal, but was wide right again from 33 yards out.

During the ensuing Moravian drive, Jacoubs became the first player in Moravian history to surpass the 3,000-yard career rushing mark. He finished the game with 105 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries to increase his career total to 3,025 yards on 604 carries in just 23 career games. Lukich had 93 yards on six attempts in the game while Greyhound senior quarterback Jerry Venturino (Hopatcong, NJ/Hopatcong HS) ran for 61 yards on 11 carries. Venturino completed just five of 16 passes in the game for 45 yards and one interception. Sophomore tight end Kris Bisci (Easton, PA/ Easton HS) and senior wide receiver Andre Mazurek (West Orange, NJ/West Orange HS) each had one catch for 15 yards.

Early in the fourth quarter, Moravian had a chance to extend the lead but Maida was short on a 37-yard field goal attempt. The Greyhounds would put their final points of the game on the scoreboard with 8:56 remaining in the contest when freshman Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville HS) connected on his first collegiate field goal attempt of 38 yards, extending the Moravian lead to 22-2.

Senior linebacker Chad DiFelice (Pen Argyl, PA/Pen Argyl HS) led the Greyhound defense with ten tackles including six and a half tackles for loss, three sacks and a pass break-up. Senior safety Mario Bevilaqua (Scranton, PA/West Scranton HS) added seven tackles with one and a half for loss, a pass breakup and a forced fumble. Junior defensive end Alex Smith-Constantine (Secaucus, NJ/Secaucus HS) had an interception for Moravian to go with four tackles including one and a half for loss.
