PENCE, CUPPLES, ZAGORSKI NAMED MAC FOOTBALL ALL-STARS
ANNVILLE, PA --- Moravian College junior cornerback Jarrod Pence (Livingston, NJ/Livingston
HS) has been named to the Middle Atlantic Conference Football All-Star First Team
while junior linebacker John Cupples (Allentown, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) and
junior offensive lineman Josh Zagorski (Morris Plains, NJ/Parsippany Hills HS) were
both named to the MAC All-Star Second Teams announced Tuesday.
Moravian currently has a record of 4-5 on the season and will play its final game of the
year this Saturday, November 17th at FDU-Madison in Madison, New Jersey. The game
was originally scheduled for September 15th but was postponed by FDU-Madison on September
14th.
Pence, who moved to cornerback this season after two years at safety, was one of four
defensive backs on the first team. Pence leads Moravian and the MAC with 34 pass
break-ups this season with a team high five interceptions. Pence has also added 50
tackles with 32 solo stops, two tackles for loss and one forced fumble. Pence, who
was named the MAC Defensive Player of the Week this week, is coming off one of the best
games of his career with seven tackles, a forced fumble and a school record tying three
interceptions in Moravian's 17-7 victory over rival Muhlenberg College.
Cupples, one of Moravian's co-captains and a starter at inside linebacker, leads Moravian
with 77 tackles and he is eighth in the MAC with 8.6 tackles per game. Cupples has
made 37 solo stops this fall with 17 tackles for loss, four sacks, one interception which
he returned 46 yards, five pass break-ups, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
Zagorski, a starter at center, has helped the Greyhound offense average 347.8 yards per
game including 175.0 yards per contest on the ground. Zagorski and the rest of the
Moravian front have allowed the Moravian quarterbacks to be sacked just 16 times this season
and three different running backs to gain over 100-yards in a game this season.
Pence, Cupples and Zagorski are all being honored by the MAC for the first time in their
careers.
