Football – 6-2 (Centennial Conference 4-2)

Last Week – Defeated *Juniata College, 28-13. *Centennial Conference game

This Week – Sat., Oct. 27th at *Ursnius College, 1:00 p.m. *Centennial Conference game

Junior quarterback Marc Braxmeier (Center Valley, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) completed ten of 21 passes for 168 yards and two touchdowns and added a ten-yard touchdown run to lead Moravian to a 28-13 Centennial Conference victory over Juniata College at Rocco Calvo Field. The Greyhounds improve to 6-2 overall and 4-2 in Centennial Conference action with their second straight win. The game was Moravian’s final home contest for the 2007 season and the school’s annual Homecoming game.

Moravian received the opening kickoff and ran just three plays before punting to Juniata. The Eagles were able to pick up a pair of first downs on their first possession of the game but would eventually punt the ball back to the Greyhounds.

Moravian started from its own 20-yard line and would need just eight plays to cover the 80 yards to the end zone. Junior tailback Tyler McCambridge (Northampton, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS), who returned to action after missing two games with an injury, carried the ball four times for 19 yards on the drive before Braxmeier found senior wide receiver Sean Hill (West Reading, PA/Wyomissing HS) for a 47-yard touchdown pass. Junior kicker Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville HS) made the extra-point to give the Greyhounds a 7-0 lead with 6:41 remaining in the first quarter. Hill, who caught two passes for 69 yards, now has eight touchdown receptions on the season, the most by a Greyhound since Jeff Roy set the school record with ten touchdown catches in 1994.

Juniata’s ensuing possession went nowhere and ended in a second straight punt. The Greyhounds would need ten plays to cover the 80 yards to the end zone this time. With McCambridge running and Braxmeier connecting on short passes, Moravian moved the ball to the Juniata ten-yard line on the final play of the first quarter. Braxmeier called his own number on the first play of the second quarter and ran off of the right side for the ten-yard score, his fourth rushing touchdown of the season. Reckenbeil’s extra-point gave Moravian a 14-0 lead with 14:53 left in the first half. McCambridge had 26 yards on four carries in the drive to have 49 yards on nine carries; however, he we injured again and would not play in the rest of the contest.

The Eagles had another three-and-out series on their next drive. This time, the Greyhound rush, which had nearly blocked the first two attempts, got through with sophomore linebacker Derek Protasiewicz (Whippany, NJ/Whippany Park HS) blocking the punt at the Juniata 21-yard line. The Eagles recovered the block after several Moravian players were unable to control the loose ball; however, Moravian took over that Juniata ten-yard line. The Greyhounds needed just one play with junior fullback Michael Cancelliere (Succasunna, NJ/Roxbury HS) scoring his first collegiate touchdown on a ten-yard run of the middle. Reckenbeil would give Moravian a 21-0 lead with 13:09 remaining in the second quarter.

Each team failed to move the ball on their next possession, and Juniata would punt for a fifth time in the first half, giving the ball to Moravian at its own 15-yard line. The Greyhounds were driving and appeared to move into the red zone on a pass from Braxmeier to Hill, but a penalty ended up forcing Moravian to punt. On the first play of the Juniata drive, Moravian junior defensive back Carl Robinson (Boothwyn, PA/Garnet Valley HS) intercepted a pass at the Moravian 18-yard line and returned it 45 yards. The interception was Robinson’s fourth in the last three games.

The Greyhounds used just four plays to score again with Braxmeier hitting freshman wide receiver Shawn Sylvainus (Nazareth, PA/Nazareth HS) with a 26-yard touchdown pass. Reckenbeil made his 28^th straight extra-point of the season and his 37^th in a row dating back to the 2006 season, to give the Greyhounds a 28-0 lead with just 2:07 remaining in the first half. The touchdown pass was Braxmeier’s 17^th of the season, the second highest in school history for a season, and the highest since Rob Petrosky tossed 16 touchdown passes during the 1999 campaign. Reckenbeil also moved into second in school history with his 69^th career extra-point, just five shy of the school record.

Juniata picked up a first down on its next drive but would punt for the sixth time in the half. Moravian freshman running back Ricky Allen Pocono Summit, PA/Pocono Mountain West HS) ran twice to kill the clock and send the Greyhounds to the locker room with a 28-0 halftime lead.

The Eagles received the opening kickoff of the second half and out together their best possession of the game to that point, picking up two first downs, although one was by penalty for roughing the punter. Juniata eventually turned the ball over on downs. The Greyhounds picked up one first down on their first drive of the second half punt would punt the ball away. Juniata would run just three plays before punting back to Moravian. The Greyhounds drove into the red zone on the following drive but had to settle for a 31-yard field goal attempt by Reckenbeil. Reckenbeil’s kick sailed just to the left of the uprights, leaving the score at 28-0 with 3:13 remaining in the third quarter.

The teams traded punts on the next four possessions. Moravian punter Michael Voskian (Brielle, NJ/Manasquan HS) would punt for the seventh time in the game to give the Eagles possession at their own 27-yard line with 7:22 remaining. Juniata needed just one play to finally get the Eagles on the scoreboard with a 73-yard touchdown pass to cut the score to 28-7 with 7:12 on the clock. The Eagles executed an onsides kick with Juniata recovering the ball at its own 46-yard line; however, the Eagles turned the ball over on downs.

Moravian took control and would move the ball down into the red zone before giving possession back to the Eagles on the Juniata 11-yard line with 2:53 remaining. Juniata scored again but the extra-point attempt was blocked by Moravian freshman defensive back Eric Woodruff (Brodheadsville, PA/Pius X HS), leaving the score at 28-13 with 1:32 remaining. The Eagles attempted another onsides kick but the Greyhounds would cover the ball this time. Moravian ran four plays before turning the ball over on downs with just four seconds remaining.

Braxmeier ran for a total of 22 yards in the game and he completed eight of 15 passes in the first half for 155 of his 168 yards through the air. Junior wide receiver Tyler Hersch (Macungie, PA/Emmaus HS) caught three passes for 31 yards while Sylvainus had three receptions for 45 yards. Sophomore tailback Anthony Falco (Succasunna, NJ/Roxbury HS) led Moravian’s ground game with 69 yards on 12 carries while Allen had 26 yards on 16 attempts. Cancelliere had 15 yards on four carries and also caught his first career pass for 19 yards.

Junior linebacker Andrew Morrissey (Emmaus, PA/Emmaus HS) led the Greyhound defense with ten tackles while freshman defensive back Daniel Burley (Easton, PA/Easton HS) had seven tackles and a pair of pass break-ups. Junior defensive end Douglas Bocchino (Madison, NJ/Madison HS) had six tackles for Moravian with one of the team’s three sacks, a tackle and a half for loss, a forced fumble on his sack and a pass break-up while freshman defensive back Thomas Dailey (Easton, PA/Notre Dame Green Pond HS) registered six tackles.
