Greyhounds scored on their opening drive as McCambridge scored on a season long 37-yard touchdown run with
10:18 to play in the first quarter. McCambridge

would get one first down on a 31-yard pass from senior quarterback Marc Braxmeier (Center Valley, PA/Allentown
Central Catholic HS) to senior wide receiver Tyler Hersch (Macungie, PA/Emmaus HS), who had two receptions for
38 yards. However, an illegal chop block penalty negated a long run by McCambridge and eventually forced the
Greyhounds to punt. The Green Terror ran just three plays before punting the ball back to Moravian midway through the first
quarter.
The
Greyhounds scored on a 17-yard touchdown pass from Braxmeier to senior wide receiver Tyler Williams (Coplay, PA/Whitehall HS) in back left corner of the

yards on two receptions.

McDaniel’s second play, Moravian junior linebacker Derek Protasiewicz (Whippany, NJ/Whippany Park HS) blitzed McDaniel
junior quarterback Joe Lapkowicz and forced a fumble
at the McDaniel 17-yard line. Greyhound senior defensive lineman Don Maxwell (Berkley Heights, NJ/Governor
Livingston HS) scooped up the ball at the eight-yard line and ran it in for
a touchdown. Reckenbeil’s
extra-point gave the Greyhounds a 21-0 lead with six seconds left in the first
quarter.
The

kickoff 86 yards for an apparent touchdown; however, an illegal block in the
back near midfield set the McDaniel offense up at its own 39-yard line.

in the game.

in from four yards out for his third touchdown of the game to cap off the
nine-play, 64 yard drive. Reckenbeil
made his fifth extra-point of the game for a 35-0 lead with 2:13 to play.
On the drive, Morgan deRouen, who
finished with 29 yards on five carries, had a 15-yard run and Braxmeier connected on a 14-yard pass
to senior tight end Nick Johnson
(Keyport, NJ/Keyport HS).
The
Green Terror would pick up a pair of first downs but would punt from midfield
with just 43 seconds remaining in the second quarter.
Moravian
received the opening kickoff of the second half and would drive down inside the
McDaniel ten-yard line before the drive stalled. Reckenbeil attempted a 27-yard field goal from the left hash mark
but his kick was wide to the left, Reckenbeil’s first miss of the season.
McDaniel
was limited to three plays on its first drive of the second half and would punt
the ball back to the Greyhounds. Moravian started the drive at the
McDaniel 40-yard line after a short return by McCambridge. Eight plays later, Braxmeier connected on his second touchdown pass of the game,
hitting freshman fullback Zachary Sigley (Bethlehem, PA/Freedom) with a three-yard
scoring strike. Reckenbeil’s
sixth extra-point of the game and his 47th straight gave the Greyhounds a 42-0
lead with 3:16 to play in the third quarter. Braxmeier finished the game with nine completions in 13 attempts
for 108 yards.
The
Green Terror again ran only three plays before punting
the ball back to Moravian. However, McDaniel would get the ball back in
just two plays when Greyhound sophomore running back Ricky Allen (Pocono Summit, PA/Pocono Mountain West HS)
fumbled. Four plays later, senior kicker Jay Leonard connected on a
38-yard field for McDaniel’s first and only points of the game, setting the
score at 42-3 with 14:07 remaining on the contest.
Moravian
would fumble again on its second play of the next drive with junior tailback Ryan Rempe (Dickson City, PA/Mid-Valley HS)
losing control of the ball. Rempe
did finish the game with 66 yards on ten carries.
However,
the Greyhounds got the ball right back when sophomore linebacker Michael Crann
(Columbia, NJ/North Warren Regional HS) forced a McDaniel fumble recovered
by junior linebacker Michael Bishop
(Nazareth, PA/Bethlehem Catholic HS). Moravian eventually turned the ball
over on downs after moving to the McDaniel 33-yard line
The
Greyhounds got the ball back two plays later when junior defensive back Brad Bodine (Mt. Bethel, PA/Bangor HS)
intercepted a pass by freshman quarterback Vinny
Corona. Bodine’s
eight-yard return gave Moravian the ball at the McDaniel 47-yard line.
Moravian
picked up a first down before turning the ball over on downs at the McDaniel
27-yard line with 2:21 to play. The Green Terror would run out the clock to end
the game.
