Last Week – Defeated *Susquehanna University,
24-17. *MAC game
This Week – Sat., Sept. 16th
vs. *King’s College, 1:00 p.m. *MAC game
Sophomore running back Tyler deRouen (West Milford, NJ/West Milford
HS) ran for 123 yards on 20 carries with two fourth quarter touchdowns,
including the game winner with 2:22 remaining, to lead the Moravian College
football team to a 24-17 come-from-behind victory at Susquehanna University in
a Middle Atlantic Conference game. The
Greyhounds won their season opener for the fourth time in seven years to
improve to 1-0 overall and in the MAC.
Moravian received the opening kickoff but would turn
the ball over on its third play when senior running back Marc Panepinto (Perkiomenville,
PA/Boyertown HS) was hit from
behind at Moravian’s 37 yard line.
Susquehanna recovered the ball and took it down to the Moravian 20-yard
line. Before the Crusaders could run a
play, the game was delayed by lightening in the area. After a 45-minute delay, the contest resumed
with Susquehanna scoring for a 7-0 Crusader lead with 11:09 remaining in the
first quarter.
The Greyhounds would begin their next drive at their
own 37-yard line; however Moravian would be forced to punt after six
plays. Susquehanna began its possession
from its own 31-yard line after a 40-yard punt by Greyhound sophomore Michael Voskian (Brielle, NJ/Manasquan
HS), his first collegiate punt. The
Crusaders would us both the run and pass to move down the field, scoring on a
15-yard touchdown pass that gave Susquehanna a 14-0 lead with 3:56 left in the
first quarter.
Panepinto
would give Moravian excellent field possession on the ensuing kickoff with a
72-yard return to the Susquehanna 17-yard line.
Tyler
deRouen ran five straight times to move the ball
down to the one-yard line. Junior
quarterback Brad Swartz (Temple, PA/Muhlenberg
HS) finished the drive with a one-yard sneak on fourth-and-goal. Sophomore kicker Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg,
NJ/Somerville HS) added the
extra-point to cut Susquehanna’s lead to 14-7 with 18 seconds remaining in the
first quarter.
Early in the third quarter, Susquehanna took over at
its own 45-yard line and drove Moravian ten-yard line where the Crusaders
connected on a 27-yard field goal for a 17-7 Susquehanna lead with 7:16
remaining in the third quarter.
Moravian started the ensuing drive at its own 28-yard
line. The Greyhounds would pick up four
first downs and drive to the Susquehanna 17-yard line where Reckenbeil connected on a 34-yard field
goal to cut the Crusaders lead to 17-10 with 3:41 remaining in the third
quarter.
The Greyhounds methodically drove down the field on
their next drive, mixing up the pass and run.
Tyler
deRouen capped off the 66-yard drive with a
three-yard run on the 13th play of the drive. Reckenbeil’s extra-point was blocked, keeping Susquehanna
ahead, 17-16, with 9:55 remaining in the contest.
Susquehanna would begin at its own 25-yard line. On a third down play, Moravian senior
linebacker Cliff Garr (Easton,
PA/Notre Dame HS) forced his second fumble
of the game and Dan Edleman (Pottstown, PA/The Hill School) recovered his second fumble of the game
at the Susquehanna
University 33-yard line,
giving the Greyhounds’ possession with 8:40 to play. Moravian would pickup one first down and
moved the ball to the Susquehanna 14-yard line where Reckenbeil’s 31-yard field goal
attempt was just wide left after a bad snap.
Susquehanna took over on its own 20-yard line with 6:39 to play.
The Crusaders gained just four yards on three plays
before punting. After an eight-yard punt
return by freshman Ryan Rempe (Dickson City, PA/Mid-Valley HS), Moravian took
over at its own 49-yard line with 4:01 remaining. On the Greyhounds first set of downs,
Moravian faced a fourth-and-one at the Susquehanna 45 yard line. Swartz
took the snap and stumble to the ground while pitching the ball to Tyler deRouen. DeRouen muffed the ball but it bounced right up into his
hands and he raced down the right sideline 42 yards for the touchdown with 2:22
remaining. Moravian went for the
two-point conversion and Swartz
found sophomore fullback Morgan deRouen (West Milford, NJ/West Milford HS)
to give the Greyhounds a 24-17 advantage.
Susquehanna took over on its own 21-yard line for its
final drive. The Crusaders picked up two
quick first downs despite fumbling for the sixth time in the game, and with a
late hit penalty on Moravian, moved the ball to the Moravian 36-yard line with
1:34 remaining. However, the Greyhounds
would force the Crusaders to turn the ball over on downs at the 27-yard line
when Moravian sophomore defensive lineman Don
Maxwell (Berkeley Heights, NJ/Governor Livingston HS) tackled the
Susquehanna quarterback a yard shy of a first down with 45 seconds remaining to
seal the Moravian win.
Swartz
completed 12 of 24 passes for 144 yards in his first collegiate start while
being sacked three times. Junior tight
end Kris Bisci (Easton, PA/Easton HS)
caught four oases for 51 yards while senior wide receiver Shawn Martell (Bethlehem, PA/Bethlehem Catholic HS) had three
receptions for 41 yards. Tyler deRouen
caught two passes for 14 yards while sophomore wide receiver Tyler Hersch (Macungie, PA/Emmaus
HS) had two receptions for 20 yards.
Panepinto gained 12 yards on
three carries for the Greyhounds before leaving the game with an injury.
Sophomore linebacker Andrew Morrissey (Emmaus, PA/Emmaus HS) led the Greyhound defense
with nine tackles and two forced fumbles while Edleman had eight tackles with one for loss to go with his two
fumble recoveries. Maxwell and Garr each
had seven tackles while freshman defensive back Brad Bodine (Mt. Bethel,
PA/Bangor
HS) had Moravian’s only sack. Junior
