MORAVIAN’S deROUEN, MORRISSEY & RECKENBEIL NAMED TO CENTENNIAL CONFERENCE WEEKLY HONOR ROLL

LANCASTER, PA --- Junior fullback Morgan deRouen (West Milford, NJ/West Milford HS), junior linebacker Andrew Morrissey (Emmaus, PA/Emmaus HS) and junior kicker Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville HS) of the Moravian College football team have earned spots on the Centennial Conference Weekly Honor Roll for their performance in the Greyhounds’ 38-24 victory at Franklin & Marshall College Saturday.

deRouen, pictured at right, ran for a career high 103 yards and a touchdown on just 18 carries before being knocked out of the game with an injury in Moravian’s victory at Franklin & Marshall. deRouen, who also lined up at tailback due to injuries to the Greyhounds’ top two tailbacks, had 79 of his 103 yards in the first half on 15 carries including a career long run of 34 yards as well as a seven-yard touchdown run. deRouen had added 24 more yards on just three carries in the second half before a leg injury sidelined him for the rest of the game.

Morrissey, pictured at left, led the Greyhound defense with seven tackles with one tackle for loss.  Morrissey made five of his tackles in the first half.

Reckenbeil continued his torrid scoring streak with eight more points including five extra-points and a field goal at Franklin & Marshall.  Reckenbeil, pictured at right, now has 57 points this season, breaking his own single-season record of 55 set back in 2005.  Reckenbeil’s only missed kick of the game was a 52-yard field goal attempt on the final play of the first half.  The kick had the distance but sailed just wide left.  He did make a 32-yard field goal later in the game.  Reckenbeil had made all 24 extra-point attempts this season and has connected on 33 straight extra-point kicks.  He has school records of 11 field goals and 57 points this season and 28 field goals and 149 points in his career.  Reckenbeil also averaged 51.0 yards per kickoff with seven kickoffs in the game.

Moravian returns to action on Saturday, October 20th in a Centennial Conference game versus Juniata College with kickoff slated for 1:00 p.m. at Rocco Calvo Field in Bethlehem.
