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

Last Week – Lost to *Muhlenberg College, 35-7. *Centennial Conference game

Season Complete

Muhlenberg College quarterback Eric Santagato completed 15 of 19 passes for a career high 297 yards with two touchdowns, and he added a rushing touchdown to lead Muhlenberg to a 35-7 victory over Moravian College in Centennial Conference action at Scotty Wood Stadium. The Mules finish their first-ever undefeated regular season at 10-0 and 8-0 in the Centennial Conference while the Greyhounds end the year at 6-4 overall, 4-4 in Centennial Conference action. The game also marked the first time in 25 years that the two rivals have competed in the same conference.

Santagato was named Muhlenberg’s Most Valuable Player of the Game for the third straight year while Moravian junior defensive back Erik Brinkerhoff (Boonton, NJ/Boonton HS) was named the Moravian MVP. Brinkerhoff had 11 tackles and forced a fumble in the game.

Moravian received the opening kickoff and picked up a pair of first downs before punting the ball. Junior punter Michael Voskian (Brielle, NJ/Manasquan HS) bounced his kick down around the ten yard line and freshman wide receiver Alex Hersch (Macungie, PA/Emmaus HS) kept the ball out of the end zone, pinning Muhlenberg at its own one-yard line.

The Mules had just one first down before punting, but the Greyhounds were unable to pick up a first down. Voskian’s second punt hung up long enough for Moravian senior wide receiver Sean Hill (West Reading, PA/Wyomissing HS) to hit Muhlenberg’s returner as soon as he caught the pass, keeping the Muhlenberg offense at its own seven-yard line to start the drive. After a scoreless first quarter, the Mules would take a 7-0 lead on the first play of the second quarter to cap off the 93-yard drive.

Moravian would be unable to pick up a first down on its second straight drive before punting. The Mules needed just four plays to extend the lead to 14-0 with 11:08 remaining in the second quarter.

The Greyhounds picked up just one first down on its next drive before punting for the fourth time in the game with Voskian putting the ball inside the 11-yard line for the third time of the game. Moravian’s defense held Muhlenberg without a first down and forced a Mule punt. Moravian was able to pick up a pair of first downs before a pass interference penalty gave the Greyhounds the ball in the red zone. Moravian moved the ball to the one-yard line where junior quarterback Marc Braxmeier (Center Valley, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) was stopped on a fourth-and-goal play just inches shy of the goal line.

The Mules were able to just get two yards on three plays and a short punt gave Moravian the ball back at the Muhlenberg 25-yard line. Braxmeier threw three incomplete passes all intended for junior wide receiver Tyler Hersch (Macungie, PA/Emmaus HS) before junior kicker Brian Reckenbeil attempted a 42-yard field goal that was short with 27 seconds remaining in the first half. Muhlenberg had one last shot for points in the second quarter missing a 44-yard field goal attempt on the final play of the first half that also fell short.

The Mules received the opening kickoff of the second half and appeared to be stopped without a first down, however, a short snap to an up back as Muhlenberg lined up to punt went 32-yards for the first down to the Moravian 14-yard line. Three plays later, the Mules pulled ahead for a 21-0 lead with 11:45 remaining in the third quarter.

Moravian’s first offensive play of the second half was a 33-yard completion from sophomore quarterback Ryan Rempe (Dickson City, PA/Mid-Valley HS), who played tailback in the game, to Tyler Hersch; however, the Greyhounds turned the ball over on downs at the four-yard line when Hill was unable to grab Braxmeier’s fourth down pass in the end zone.

The Greyhounds got the ball right back when Brinkerhoff forced a Muhlenberg wide receiver to fumble a completed 33-yard pass on the first play of the Mules drive. Moravian junior defensive back Carl Robinson (Boothwyn, PA/Garnet Valley HS) recovered the ball, giving the Greyhounds possession at the Muhlenberg 37-yard line. After a pair of long completions by Braxmeier, junior running back Tyler McCambridge (Northampton, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) dove in from one yard line for Moravian’s first points of the game. Reckenbeil added the extra-point to cut the Mules lead to 21-7 with 6:58 remaining in the third quarter.

Eventually, the Mules put together an 11-play, 81 yard drive to take a 28-7 lead with 11:22 remaining. Moravian would pick up a first down on its next drive before Braxmeier was intercepted at the Muhlenberg 41-yard line. The teams would trade punts before the Mules drove down into the red zone again. Muhlenberg capped the scoring in the game with a 12-yard touchdown run for a 35-7 lead with 4:07 remaining in the game.

Braxmemier completed seven of 24 passes for 95 yards with two interceptions and he was sacked twice while gaining nine yards on seven carries. McCambridge led the Moravian rushing attack with 55 yards on 23 carries to go with his touchdown while Rempe had a yard on three carries and the one completed pass for 33 yards. Freshman wide receiver Shawn Sylvainus (Nazareth, PA/Nazareth HS) caught three passes for 59 yards while Hill had three receptions for 35 yards.

Junior linebacker Kevin McCorry (Whitehall, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) led the Greyhound defense with 12 tackles including one for loss while Brinkerhoff had 11 tackles and the forced fumble. Robinson, freshman linebacker Philip Bortz (Allentown, PA/Parkland HS), who was making his first career start for an injured junior Andrew Morrissey (Emmaus, PA/Emmaus HS) and senior linebacker Zach Sanitago (Bethlehem, PA/Bethlehem Catholic HS) each had eight tackles with Bortz contributing three tackles for loss and one and a half sacks and Santiago adding a sack.
