MORAVIAN’S BODINE & RECKENBEIL NAMED CENTENNIAL CONFERENCE PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
McCambridge Earns Spot on the Honor Roll

LANCASTER, PA --- Junior defensive back Brad Bodine (Mt. Bethel, PA/Bangor HS) of the Moravian College football team has been named the Centennial Conference Defensive Player of the Week while senior kicker Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville HS) earned Centennial Conference Special Teams Player of the Week for their performances in the Greyhounds’ 23-20 Centennial Conference victory over Franklin & Marshall College Saturday afternoon at Rocco Calvo Field.

Senior running back Tyler McCambridge (Northampton, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) earned a spot on the Centennial Conference Weekly Honor Roll.

Bodine, pictured at right, registered eight tackles with solo stops, and he had an interception that included a 33-yard return that set up Moravian’s third field goal in the game and gave the team its first lead of the game.  Bodine finished the game with two passes defended after breaking up a F&M’s first drive in the fourth quarter after Moravian had taken the 23-20 lead.

Reckenbeil, pictured at left, continued his outstanding senior season with his second straight double-digit point total with 11 points on three field goals and two extra-points in the victory.  He has three double-digit games this fall and seven in his career.  Reckenbeil, who was also the Centennial Conference Special Teams Player of the Week on September 7th and September 28th, made all three of his field goal attempts, all from 32 yards, in the third quarter to flip a 13-7 deficit into a 16-13 lead.  On his first field goal, Reckenbeil became just the second player in school history and first kicker to reach 200 career points.  He now has 208 career points, trailing former running back Chris Jacoubs, who scored 216 points at Moravian in three seasons.  Reckenbeil also continued his consecutive extra-point streaks now at 59 overall and 50 in Centennial Conference action.  His three field goals in the game gave Reckenbeil 11 for the season, tying the school mark he set last fall.  Reckenbeil also kicked off six times in the game averaging 55.0 yards per kickoff, and he had one tackle in the game.

McCambridge, pictured at right, ran for a season high 168 yards, his fourth 100-yard game of the season, and a touchdown on a career high 34 carries.  He also became the ninth player in school history to reach 2,000 career yards, now eighth all-time with 2,094 yards on 439 carries.  He has also scored 20 career touchdowns.  McCambridge added three receptions for 11 yards in the Moravian win.

The Greyhounds will return to action on Saturday, October 25th in a Centennial Conference game at Juniata College with kickoff slated for 1:00 p.m. in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania for Moravian’s final road game of the 2008 season.
