MORAVIAN’S McCAMBRIDGE & WILLIAMS EARN MAC PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORS

ANNVILLE, PA --- Sophomore running back Tyler McCambridge (Northampton, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) of the Moravian College football team has been named the Middle Atlantic Conference Offensive Player of the Week while freshman linebacker Jayson Williams (Collingswood, NJ/Collingswood HS) earned MAC Defensive Player of the Week accolades for their performances in the Greyhounds’ 22-3 victory over Lycoming College Saturday.

McCambridge, pictured at right, ran for 163 yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries, and he threw a four-yard touchdown pass on his first career pass attempt in the victory. McCambridge got Moravian on the scoreboard in the first quarter with a six-yard touchdown run that capped a 14-play, 76-yard drive that was all on the ground. McCambridge had ten carries for 63 yards on the drive. McCambridge would score again in the third quarter on a 15-yard run to cap a nine-play, 65 yard drive that he had seven carries for 28 yards on. McCambridge finished off the Greyhounds’ scoring in the game with a four-yard touchdown pass to junior tight end Kris Bisci (Easton, PA/Easton HS) on a third-and-goal play. This was the second straight home game and second time in three week’s that McCambridge had carried the ball 33 times for more than 160 yards in a home game with a career high 166 yards against FDU-Florham two weeks ago at Rocco Calvo Field.

Williams, pictured at left, had a team high nine tackles and helped the Moravian defense limit Lycoming to 122 yards of total offense including 21 yards on 27 carries in just his second career start. Williams made five solo stops including a sack of 11 yards and forced fumble that ended Lycoming’s first drive of the game inside the red zone.

Moravian will play its final MAC game on Saturday, November 4th at Lebanon Valley College with kickoff slated for 1:00 p.m. at Arnold Field in Annville.
