Football – 4-6 (MAC 4-5)

Last Week – Lost to Muhlenberg College, 24-10.

Season Complete

                Senior wide receiver/defensive back Shawn Martell (Bethlehem, PA/Bethlehem Catholic HS) was named Moravian’s Player of the Game.  Martell caught three passes for 78 yards including a 54-yard touchdown to finish his career 12th all-time in receptions with 79, eighth in yards at 1,436 and seventh in touchdowns at 12.  Martell also started his first career game at cornerback, making three tackles as the Greyhounds fell to rival Muhlenberg College, 24-10, in non-conference action at Rocco Calvo Field. 

 

                The Greyhounds close out the year at 4-6 with the loss.  The game marked the final time the two schools will meet in a non-conference setting with Moravian set to join the Centennial Conference as an associate member for football in 2007.  Muhlenberg received the opening kickoff of the game and drove down the field into the red zone.  The Moravian defense would stiffen and forced the Mules to attempt a 31-yard field goal that was wide right.

 

                The Greyhounds would pickup just six yards on their first three plays of the game and punt the ball right back to Muhlenberg.  The Mules drove down to the Moravian 14-yard line for the second straight series, and again the Greyhound defense forced a field goal attempt, this time making the 31-yard field goal to give Muhlenberg a 3-0 lead with 7:18 remaining in the first quarter.

 

                Moravian again went three plays and punt on its possession but the Greyhound defense allowed the Mules just one first down before Muhlenberg punted.  Moravian’s offense still could not get on track, running three plays and gaining nine-yard before the third of six punts on the day by sophomore Michael Voskian (Brielle, NJ/Manasquan HS).

 

                The Mules picked up a first down on the first play of their next drive.  On the following play, senior defensive lineman Alex Smith-Constantine (Secaucus, NJ/Secaucus HS) stripped the running back and Greyhound junior linebacker Dan Edleman (Pottstown, PA/The Hill School) scooped up the ball and ran it down to the Muhlenberg 42-yard line.  Moravian put together a seven-play drive that covered 32 yards and moved down to the ten-yard line.  Facing a fourth-and-five, Greyhound sophomore kicker Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville HS) connected on a 27-yard field goal attempt to tie the score at 3-3 with 12:21 remaining in the first half.  The field goal was Reckenbeil’s eighth of the season and the 17th of his career.

 

                Each team would punt on its next possession.  The Mules would eventually take over at their own 14-yard line.  Muhlenberg drove the length of the field in 11 plays but turned the ball over before scoring.  On second-and-19 from the 20-yard line, the Mules a completed a pass in the middle of the field.  The receiver was stretching for the end zone when Moravian sophomore defensive back Carl Robinson (Boothwyn, PA/Garnet Valley HS) hit him at the one-yard line and forced a fumble into the end zone.  Moravian senior linebacker Cliff Garr (Easton, PA/Notre Dame HS) scooped up the ball and ran it back to the 16-yard line.  Moravian was unable to pick-up a first down and had to punt the ball back to Muhlenberg, who ran one play before the end of the first half.

 

                Moravian received the ball to begin the second half.  The Greyhounds drove to midfield when freshman quarterback Ryan Rempe (Dickson City, PA/Mid-Valley HS) was intercepted and returned 51-yards for the touchdown to give the Mules the lead back at 10-3 lead with 12:19 left in the third quarter.  Rempe completed four of ten passes for 18 yards.

 

                On the third play of the ensuing Moravian drive, sophomore tailback Tyler McCambrige (Northampton, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) attempted a halfback option pass on second-and-eight from the Moravian 49-yard line, but the pass was intercepted.

 

                The Moravian defense allowed just eight yards on three plays, forcing the Mules to punt.  After a six-yard run by sophomore fullback Morgan de Rouen (West Milford, NJ/West Milford HS) and an incomplete pass, sophomore quarterback Marc Braxmeier (Center Valley, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) found Martell open down the left sideline.  Martell would break one tackle and out-run another Muhlenberg defender into the end zone for a 54-yard touchdown reception.  Reckenbeil added the extra-point to knot the score at 10-10 with 7:23 remaining in the third quarter.  Braxmeier was six-for-12 for 113 yards.

 

                Moravian would get the ball back after just three plays when Robinson intercepted a pass at the Moravian 16-yard line.  However, the Greyhounds lost 12 yards and Voskian had to punt from his own end zone.  Muhlenberg needed just four plays to cover the 35-yards to the end zone for a 17-10 Muhlenberg lead with 1:49 remaining in the third quarter. 

 

                The teams traded punts on their next possessions.  On Moravian’s first possession of the fourth quarter, Braxmeier fumbled the snap on the drive’s second play with Muhlenberg falling on the ball at the Moravian 33-yard line.  The Mules went for the quick strike but the pass was intercepted in the end zone by Moravian freshman cornerback Brad Bodine (Mt. Bethel, PA/Bangor HS).  Moravian drove the length of the field down to the Muhlenberg 16-yard line in 11 plays.  However, facing a fourth-and-seven, Braxmeier was intercepted at the one-yard line and the ball was returned to the 15-yard line.

 

                Muhlenberg responded with a nine-play, 85-yard drive to extend the Mules’ lead to 24-10 with just 37 seconds remaining in the game. 

 

                McCambridge led the Moravian rushing attack with 56 yards on 16 carries while senior running back Marc Panepinto (Perkiomenville, PA/Boyertown HS), who broke a bone in his foot in the first game of the season at Susquehanna University, returned to the line-up for his final collegiate game and ran for 37 yards on five carries.  De Rouen added 18 yards on six carries while sophomore wide receiver Tyler Hersch (Macungie, PA/Emmaus HS) caught two passes for 21 yards.  Junior wide receiver Sean Hill (West Reading, PA/Wyomissing HS) also caught two passes for 15 yards.

 

                Garr led the Moravian defense with 12 tackles to go with his fumble return while sophomore linebacker Andrew Morrissey (Emmaus, PA/Emmaus HS) had 11 tackles.  Bodine contributed seven tackles while Edleman, sophomore linebacker Kevin McGorry (Whitehall, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) and senior defensive end Nick Feo (Hampton, NJ/Voorhees HS) each had six tackles for the Greyhounds.
