MORAVIAN’S PANEPINTO & RECKENBEIL NAMED TO MAC FOOTBALL
WEEKLY HONOR ROLL

ANNVILLE, PA --- Junior running back Marc Panepinto (Perkiomenville, PA/Boyertown HS) and freshman kicker Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville HS) of the Moravian College football team have been named to the Middle Atlantic Conference Weekly Football Honor Roll for their performances in the Greyhounds’ 38-35, come-from-behind victory over Lebanon Valley College Saturday afternoon.

Panepinto, making his first career start, ran for a career high 213 yards and a touchdown on 38 carries in Moravian’s win. Panepinto had a one-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to tie the game at 28-28 in the third quarter. His longest run of the game was a 31-yard carry and came on the final, game-winning drive of the game, and Panepinto also caught one pass for two yards in the victory.

Reckenbeil connected on all five of his extra-point attempts and added a game-winning field goal with four seconds left for a total of eight points in Moravian’s 38-35 victory. Reckenbeil’s five-for-five performance on extra-points kept him perfect on the season at 25-of-25 after taking over the kicking duties at King’s in the Greyhounds’ third game of the season. His 19-yard, game-winning field goal was this sixth straight made field goal and improves Reckenbeil, who was a soccer player until arriving at Moravian in August, to eight-of-ten on field goals this fall.

Moravian, which is 5-4 overall and in the MAC, will close out its 2005 season on Saturday, November 12th in a non-conference game at rival Muhlenberg College, kicking off at 1:00 p.m. at Scotty Wood Stadium in Allentown.
