Football – 4-4 (MAC 4-4)

Last Week – Defeated *Lycoming College, 22-3.  *MAC game

This Week – Sat., Nov. 4th at *Lebanon Valley College, 1:00 p.m.  *MAC game

 

            Sophomore tailback Tyler McCambridge (Northampton, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) ran for 163 yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries, and he threw one pass for a four-yard touchdown to lead Moravian to a 22-3 victory over Lycoming College in Middle Atlantic Conference action at Rocco Calvo Field.  The Greyhounds improve to 4-4 overall and in the MAC with the victory, the 121st for head coach Scot Dapp, moving him on away from tying Rocco Calvo’s school record of 122 wins. 

            Lycoming received the opening kickoff and began its first drive of the game for its own 32-yard line.  The Warriors used a combination rushes and passes to move the ball down to the Moravian 13-yard line.  However, Greyhound freshman linebacker Jayson Williams (Collingswood, NJ/Collingswood HS) had a sack and forced a fumble.  Moravian senior defensive end Nick Feo (Hampton, NJ/Voorhees HS) covered the ball at the Greyhound 24-yard line.

            The Moravian offense would run the ball down the field, literally, rushing the ball on all 14 plays to cover the 76-yards to the end zone.  McCambridge finished off the drive with a six-yard run for his fourth touchdown of the season.  On the drive, McCambridge ran the ball ten times for 63 yards.  Sophomore Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville HS) split the uprights with the extra-point to give the Greyhounds a 7-0 lead with 3:12 remaining in the first quarter. 

            After a touchback on the kickoff, Lycoming picked up nine yards in three plays before bringing on the punt team on fourth down.  However, the snap on the punt sailed past the right side of the punter and into the end zone.  The Lycoming punter ran back and kicked the ball out of the back of the end zone, giving the Greyhounds a safety and a 9-0 lead with 1:22 left in the first quarter.

            The teams would trade punts over the next five possessions with Moravian punting three times, twice on three-and-out drive, and Lycoming punting twice.  The Warriors eventually got good field position at the Moravian 47-yard line with 3:50 left in the first half on the Greyhounds’ third punt.  Lycoming moved the ball down to the 30-yard line before a pass attempt was broken up by Moravian freshman defensive back Brad Bodine (Mt. Bethel, PA/Bangor HS) that ended up in the hands of sophomore safety Carl Robinson (Boothwyn, PA/Garnet Valley HS), who returned the interception nine yards.  Moravian ran one play to run out the clock and head to the locker room with a 9-0 lead.

            The Greyhounds received the opening kickoff of the second half and on third-and-four, freshman quarterback Ryan Rempe (Dickson City, PA/Mid-Valley HS) was intercepted at the Lycoming 40-yard line.  The Moravian defense would eventually force the Warriors to punt, but the Greyhounds gave the ball right back to Lycoming with McCambridge fumbling.  The Warriors were unable to pick up a first down but were close enough for a 27-yard field goal, cutting Moravian’s lead to 9-3 with 6:55 remaining in the third quarter.

            A penalty on the ensuing kickoff gave the Greyhounds the ball at their own 35-yard line to begin their next possession.  Moravian went back to the ground game running on eight of nine plays in the drive including a 28-yard carry by sophomore fullback Morgan de Rouen (West Milford, NJ/West Milford HS).  McCambridge would score his second touchdown of the game to finish off the drive on a 15-yard carry up the middle.  The Greyhounds went for the two-point conversion to push the lead to two touchdowns but Rempe’s pass for junior tight end Kris Bisci (Easton, PA/Easton HS) was low, leaving Moravian’s lead at 15-3 with 1:59 remaining in the third quarter.

            On Lycoming’s first play, Greyhound sophomore linebacker Andrew Morrissey (Emmaus, PA/Emmaus HS) intercepted a pass at the Lycoming 43-yard line, and Morrissey had a 15-yard return to set the Moravian offense up at the Lycoming 28-yard line.  A pair of McCambridge rushes gave the Greyhounds a first-and-goal from the two-yard line.  Facing a third-and-four after McCambridge was stopped twice, the Greyhounds called timeout.  After the timeout, McCambridge took a pitch from Rempe and rushed out to the right side before throwing a four-yard scoring pass to Bisci in the back of the end zone, Bisci’s fourth touchdown reception of the year and McCambridge’s first career pass.  Reckenbeil made the extra-point to push Moravian’s lead to 22-3 with 14:26 remaining in the game.

            Lycoming would have to punt on its final two drives of the game while Moravian punted once and would eventually run out the clock with a ten-play, 44-yard drive.

            Rempe completed two of five pass attempts for 18 yards while de Rouen had 48 yards on six carries for the Greyhounds.  Bisci caught two passes for 13 yards while senior wide receiver Shawn Martell (Bethlehem, PA/Bethlehem Catholic HS) had one reception for nine yards.  Martell, who also played defensive back in third-and-long throughout the game, also returned a pair of punts for 19 yards.  Senior fullback Joe Costanzo (Barnstead, NH/Bow HS & Tilton School) had eight yards on three carries while junior running back Mark Peters (Mendham, NJ/Mendham HS), who recently converted from linebacker to running back due to injuries had five yards on two carries in the game’s final drive.

            Williams led the Moravian defense with nine tackles including his sack and forced fumble while sophomore linebacker Kevin McGorry (Whitehall, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) had eight tackles including two for loss.  Senior linebacker Cliff Garr (Easton, PA/Notre Dame HS) added seven tackles while Robinson had five tackles with one for loss to go with his interception.

            The contest between the second seeded Greyhounds and top seeded Blue Jays began on October 15th and lasted five hours before darkness halted the sixth singles match.

When play resumed on October 24th, Lander broke Angstadt's serve to cut the lead to 5-4. After several long rallies, Angstadt led, 6-5, before serving up an ace to clinch the match and Moravian's trip to the NCAA Division III Tournament.

 

            Back on October 15th, the Greyhounds led 2-1 after doubles action with victories by the score of 8-6 from the teams of junior Brittany Popaca (Lavallette, NJ/Point Pleasant Beach HS) and sophomore Mary Kate Kelly (Beach Haven, NJ/Southern Regional HS) and sophomores Kelly Gerbino (Easton, PA/Easton HS) and Dyana Swan (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville HS).

 

            Elizabethtown would win the first three singles matches to finish, taking a 4-2 lead. However, Kelly and Popaca would win three-set contests to tie the match at 4-4. Popaca's third singles match took over three hours to play, and Popaca had to win a pair of tiebreakers for the win. The match was suspended due to darkness with Angstadt and Lander still on the court.
