This Week – Sat., Sept. 18th
vs. *Susquehanna University, 1:00 p.m.
*MAC game
Sophomore tailback Chris
Jacoubs (Fair Haven, NJ/Rumson-Fair Haven HS) ran for 139 yards and a
touchdown, and he added one pass reception for 23 yards and a score to lead the
Moravian College football team to a 34-0 victory at Juniata College in Middle
Atlantic Conference action at Knox Stadium.
The shutout was the first for the Greyhounds since a 27-0 shutout win at
FDU-Florham on November 17,
2001. The Eagles fall to 0-2
on the year and 0-1 in the MAC after being shutout for the first time since the
1995 season.
Moravian took a 2-0 lead with 9:07 remaining in the first
quarter when Greyhound senior defensive lineman Shawn Nelson (Bethlehem, PA/Bethlehem Catholic HS) sacked the Juniata
quarterback in the end zone for a seven-yard loss and two points. Moravian extended its lead with 3:08
remaining in the first quarter on a four-yard scoring run by junior quarterback
Jerry Venturino (Hopatcong, NJ/Hopatcong
HS). Senior John McLain (Belvidere, NJ/Belvidere
HS) added the extra-point for a 9-0 Greyhound lead.
Venturino, who
completed six of ten passes for 138 yards and two scores, helped the Greyhounds
improve the lead to 16-0 with 32 seconds remaining in the first quarter when he
hit sophomore wide receiver Ben Hawkins
(Belmar, NJ/Manasquan HS) on a 76-yard touchdown pass. McLain
added the extra-point. Hawkins also had two carries for 33
yards. McLain, who is Moravian’s place kicker in addition to his punting
duties this season, made his first career field goal with 13:01 remaining in
the second quarter when he connected on a 26-yard field goal to give the
Greyhounds a 19-0 lead. Jacoubs scored his first touchdown of
the season for the Greyhounds on a 62-yard touchdown run with 2:53 remaining in the second
quarter. McLain added the extra-point for a 26-0 lead for Moravian.
On the Greyhounds first drive of the second half, which
was set up by a 22-yard interception return by freshman linebacker Arturo Duran (Ridgewood,
NJ/Ridgewood
HS), Venturino connected on a
23-yard touchdown pass to Jacoubs. After a bad snap on the extra-point attempt, Venturino hit junior defensive end Steve Cline (Union Beach, NJ/Keyport
HS) with a two point conversion to give the Greyhounds a 34-0 lead with
12:33 remaining in the third quarter. Moravian’s
defense ended the next Juniata drive on a one-handed interception by sophomore
cornerback Israel Aguila (Bethlehem, PA/Freedom
HS) at the Moravian 49 yard line.
However, the Greyhounds’ ensuing drive ended inside the Juniata ten-yard line on downs, and that was the closest
either team was to scoring again.
Jacoubs 139-yard
day led the Greyhounds, who gained 339 yards on 61 carries. Sophomore tailback Marc Panepinto (Perkiomenville,
PA/Boyertown HS) added 60
yards on 13 carries while freshman running back Kyle Heffron (Stanhope, NJ/Hopatcong HS)
ran for 43 yards on seven carries.
Senior tailback Cody Hendershot (Bangor, PA/Bangor HS) added 34 yards on eight carries while
junior fullback Kevin Lukich (Ogdensburg, NJ/Wallkill Valley HS) had 18 yards on three
carries. Sophomore running back Joe Costanzo (Barnstead, NH/Bow HS & Tilton School)
also had 11 yards on four carries while senior quarterback Rick Muschlitz (Easton, PA/Notre
Dame HS) added five yards on two carries.
Muschlitz
was also intercepted once in two attempts.
The Greyhounds had a total of 477 yards on 73 plays and had a 39:33 to 20:27 advantage in time of
possession and a 19-9 edge in time of possession. Freshman tight end Kris Bisci (Easton,
PA/Easton
HS) was the only Greyhound to catch more than one pass with two receptions
for 22 yards.
The Moravian defense held Juniata
to just 124 yards on 44 plays. The
Eagles had 18 carries for no yards.
Junior defensive back Tyler
Chomik (Allentown, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) and sophomore
linebacker Cliff Garr (Easton, PA/Notre
Dame HS) each have five tackles for the Moravian defense with Garr adding a tackle for loss. Nelson
made three tackles for the Greyhounds with two for loss, a sack and two
pass break-ups while senior defensive back Bill
Skriletz (Coopersburg, PA/Southern Lehigh HS) and sophomore defensive back Tom Carroll (Blackwood, NJ/Paul VI HS)
each had three tackles.
