MORAVIAN’S BOCCHINO & McCAMBRIDGE EARN CENTENNIAL CONFERENCE DEFENSIVE AND
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORS

Reckenbeil Named to Honor Roll

LANCASTER, PA --- Senior defensive end Doug Bocchino (Madison, NJ/Madison HS) and senior tailback Tyler McCambridge (Northampton, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) of the Moravian College football team have been named the Centennial Conference Defensive and Offensive Players of the Week for their performances in the Greyhounds’ 42-3 conference victory over McDaniel College Saturday afternoon.

Senior kicker Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville HS) earned a spot on the Centennial Conference Weekly Honor Roll.

Bocchino, pictured at right, helped anchor the Greyhounds defense that allowed just 113 total yards and 30 passing yards in the win at McDaniel to begin the 2008 Centennial Conference season. Bocchino registered six tackles in the game including two and a half for loss and one and a half of Moravian’s five sacks in the contest. Moravian had 28 different players make a tackle in the game.

McCambridge, pictured at left, scored three touchdowns and ran for a team high 162 yards on just 14 carries to lead Moravian’s offense at McDaniel.  McCambridge had touchdown runs of 37, nine and four yards while going over the 100-yard mark on just his sixth carry of the game, a 30-yard run.  He helped the Greyhounds amass 388 rushing yards on 59 carries.  McCambridge also became just the tenth player in school history to surpass 1,500 career yards, now with 1,537.  He also returned three punts for 22 yards and a kickoff for 17 yards.

Reckenbeil, pictured at right, continued his streak of extra-point attempts without a miss, now at 47, after going six-for-six on extra-points at McDaniel. Reckenbeil did miss a 27-yard field goal from the left hash mark midway through the third quarter, his first miss of the season, but he did average 55.3 yards per kickoff.

The Greyhounds will return to action on Saturday, September 20th in a non-conference game at Lebanon Valley College kicking off at 1:00 p.m. in Annville, Pennsylvania.
