Moravian rallied to take a lead in the third quarter but eventually fell to Lycoming College, 17-13, in a penalty-filled Middle Atlantic Conference game at David Person Field. Combined, the teams were flagged for 24 penalties for 220 yards including three automatic first downs apiece. Lycoming took the opening kickoff and drove 76 yards on 11 plays for a 7-0 lead with 8:43 to left in the first quarter.

After being forced to punt three times, the Greyhounds finally got on the scoreboard with 13:17 remaining in the second quarter on a 26-yard field goal by freshman kicker Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville HS). The score was set up by a fumble recovery by senior defensive lineman Robert Stockley (Red Bank, NJ/Middletown South HS) on a ball knocked loose by sophomore linebacker Arturo Duran (Ridgewood, NJ/Ridgewood HS) at the Lycoming 11-yard line.

Lycoming would connect on a 19-yard field goal with 1:47 left in the first half for 10-3 Lycoming lead. The field goal capped a 13-play, 47-yard drive in 7:25 for the Warriors.

The Greyhounds would get another three points on a 23-yard field goal by Reckenbeil with just 29 seconds left before the intermission. Moravian moved the ball 69 yards on eight plays in just 1:11. The field goal was Reckenbeil’s seventh of the season.

Moravian would take its first lead of the game on a three-yard run by junior running back Marc Panepinto (Perkiomenville, PA/Boyertown HS) to cap a ten-play, 69-yard drive on the first possession of the second half. Reckenbeil’s made the extra-point, his 20^th consecutive point-after conversion for a 13-10 lead Moravian lead with 10:12 left in the third quarter. Panepinto ran for a career high 85 yards on 16 carries as starting running back junior Chris Jacoubs (Fair Haven, NJ/Rumson-Fair Haven HS) was limited to just five yards on six carries due to an injury. Moravian would get the ball back when Stockley intercepted a pass at the Moravian 35-yard line. After a seven-yard return by Stockley, the Greyhounds were forced to punt after three plays.

Lycoming would retake the lead on a five-play, 81-yard drive. On the play before the touchdown, the Warriors had a 56-yard run after Moravian committed a personal foul on an incomplete third down pass. Lycoming led 17-13 lead with 12:54 remaining in the fourth quarter.

On Moravian’s ensuing drive, the Greyhounds would drive down to the Lycoming 10-yard line. On second and eight from the ten, senior quarterback Jerry Venturino (Hopatcong, NJ/Hopatcong HS) hit sophomore tight end Kris Bisci (Easton, PA/Easton HS) with a ten-yard touchdown pass, however, the play was called back on a Moravian ineligible receiver down field penalty. On a fourth and 26 play from the 28-yard line, Greyhound Venturino just missed a wide open senior wide receiver Cletus Kilker (Bethlehem, PA/Notre Dame HS) in the end zone after the Lycoming defensive back fell down. Venturino completed 11 of 28 passes for 85 yards; and he ran for 11 yards on three carries. Junior wide receiver Shawn Martell (Bethlehem, PA/Bethlehem Catholic HS) was the Greyhounds leading receiver with four receptions for 44 yards as the Greyhounds’ leading receiver, senior Ben Hawkins (Belmar, NJ/Manasquan HS) sat out the game with an injury.

The Greyhounds would force another Warrior punt that traveled just 29 yards, giving Moravian possession at the Lycoming 42-yard line with 2:19 left in the game. The Greyhounds would drive down to the 11-yard line after a 13-yard run by Panepinto. On the next play, Venturino was just long again to an open senior wideout Russ Demko (Hellertown, PA/Saucon Valley HS) in the end zone. After incomplete passes on second and third down, Venturino did hit Bisci, however, Bisci was tackled after just a five-yard completion, turning the ball over to the Warriors at the six-yard line with 1:31 to play and both teams out of timeouts. Lycoming ran three plays to run out the clock.

Freshman linebacker Andrew Morrissey (Emmaus, PA/Emmaus HS) led the Moravian defense with 12 tackles while senior defensive back Mario Bevilaqua (Scranton, PA/West Scranton HS) added ten tackles. Stockley had a sack in addition to his fumble recovery and interception.
