This Week – Sat., Oct. 1st
at *Widener University, 1:00 p.m. *MAC game
Moravian
jumped to a 28-0 first quarter lead using big in the passing game, the rushing
game, defense and special teams and carried the momentum throughout the game to
post a 49-14 victory over visiting Juniata College in MAC action at Rocco Calvo
Field.
Moravian
had two touchdown runs, one scoring pass, an interception return for a
touchdown and a kick return all for more than 40 yards to put points on the
board quickly. Junior running back Chris
Jacoubs (Fair Haven, NJ/Rumson-Fair Haven HS) finished with 164 yards
rushing and a pair of touchdowns for the Greyhounds, setting a school record
with 14.9 yards per carry, and senior quarterback Jerry Venturino (Hopatcong, NJ/Hopatcong HS) was five for nine for
143 yards and three scores, a career high.
The Greyhounds wasted no time getting on the
scoreboard. Juniata fumbled on its third play
from scrimmage, turning the ball over deep in its own territory. Three plays
later, Venturino found sophomore
tight end Kris Bisci (Easton,
PA/Easton
HS) in the end zone for the game’s first touchdown. Freshman Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville
HS) added the point after to put Moravian in front 7-0 with 12:54 to play
in the first quarter.
The Greyhounds added to their lead on Juniata’s next
series as senior cornerback Tyler Chomik
(Allentown, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) picked off a Jay Leonard (Newville, PA/Big Spring HS)
pass and returned it 42-yards for a touchdown. Another successful point by Reckenbeil after made the score 14-0 in
favor of the Greyhounds with 11:25 still left on the first quarter clock.
The first quarter troubles continued for the Eagles as
Moravian took possession and marched downfield for its third score. A long
third-down pass from Venturino to Bisci for 27 yards moved the ball into the Juniata
half of the field. Then on a fourth-and-four play, Venturino found junior wide receiver Shawn Martell (Bethlehem, PA/Bethlehem Catholic HS) down the left
sideline for a 31-yard scoring hookup. The point by Reckenbeil after put Moravian on top 21-0 with just over four
minutes remaining in the quarter.
The Eagles got its first sustained drive on the ensuing
possession, but Juniata was unable to come
away with points as a 38-yard field goal attempt missed wide right.
Moravian was not done its first-quarter scoring as two
plays after the miss. Jacoubs broke free for a 69-yard scoring rush with just 23 seconds remaining in the quarter. Reckenbeil nailed his fourth
point-after of the period to push the lead to 28-0 in favor of the Greyhounds.
After being forced to punt on their first possession of
the second quarter, the Greyhounds faced a third-and-ten. On the play senior wide receiver Ben Hawkins (Belmar, NJ/Manasquan
HS) caught a jump ball downfield from Venturino
and continued to the end zone to complete a 66-yard scoring pass. The point
after by Reckenbeil with 6:43
remaining in the half made the score 35-0 Moravian. On the play, Venturino became the sixth quarterback in Moravian history to pass
for more than 3,000 yards in a career while Hawkins moved into ninth all-time with 1,321 receiving yards.
The two teams exchanged defensive stops and punts the rest of the quarter, and the Greyhounds went into
halftime leading 35-0.
The big plays continued for the Moravian offense in the
second half as Jacoubs took the
first carry off the half and broke it 65 yards for his second touchdown of the
game. The touchdown tied Jacoubs
with Jim Joseph for the Moravian records in career
touchdowns and career points with 32 touchdowns and 192 points. The scoring run was also Jacoubs’ fourth career touchdown run of more than 65 yards. The point after by Reckenbeil put the Greyhounds in front 42-0 with 14:49 to play in
the third quarter.
Juniata’s offense
followed the score by putting together its first scoring drive of the game to
make the score 42-7.
The ensuing kick-off return proved to be another big play
for Moravian as Chomik broke a
74-yard return to the Juniata three yard
line. Junior running back Marc Panepinto (Perkiomenville,
PA/Boyertown HS) followed with a two-yard scoring run two plays later to
push the lead to 48-7 with the
successful kick by Reckenbeil making
it 49-7 for the home squad. The seventh
extra-point of the game by Reckenbeil
broke the previous Moravian record of six set by Chad Kurtz in 1993 and tied by Josh
Miller in 2003.
Juniata would score the
final points of the game with a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Moravian’s offense was on the field for just 21:48 in the
game but gained 385 yards on just 43 plays, an average of 9.0 yards per
play. The Greyhounds were limited to
just 12 first downs while the Eagles had 19 first downs. Both teams ran for 242 yards in the contest,
however, the Greyhounds needed just 34 attempts while Juniata
had 61 rushing attempts. Sophomore
linebacker Mike Prata
(Little Ferry, NJ/Pramas Catholic HS) led the Moravian
defense with nine tackles. Senior
linebacker Chad DiFelice (Pen Argyl,
PA/Pen Argyl HS) and freshman linebacker Andrew Morrissey (Emmaus, PA/Emmaus
