This Week – Sat., Sept. 16^th vs. *King’s College, 1:00 p.m. *MAC game

Sophomore running back Tyler deRouen (West Milford, NJ/West Milford HS) ran for 123 yards on 20 carries with two fourth quarter touchdowns, including the game winner with 2:22 remaining, to lead the Moravian College football team to a 24-17 come-from-behind victory at Susquehanna University in a Middle Atlantic Conference game. The Greyhounds won their season opener for the fourth time in seven years to improve to 1-0 overall and in the MAC.

Moravian received the opening kickoff but would turn the ball over on its third play when senior running back Marc Panepinto (Perkiomenville, PA/Boyertown HS) was hit from behind at Moravian’s 37 yard line. Susquehanna recovered the ball and took it down to the Moravian 20-yard line. Before the Crusaders could run a play, the game was delayed by lightening in the area. After a 45-minute delay, the contest resumed with Susquehanna scoring for a 7-0 Crusader lead with 11:09 remaining in the first quarter.

The Greyhounds would begin their next drive at their own 37-yard line; however Moravian would be forced to punt after six plays. Susquehanna began its possession from its own 31-yard line after a 40-yard punt by Greyhound sophomore Michael Voskian (Brielle, NJ/Manasquan HS), his first collegiate punt. The Crusaders would us both the run and pass to move down the field, scoring on a 15-yard touchdown pass that gave Susquehanna a 14-0 lead with 3:56 left in the first quarter.

Panepinto would give Moravian excellent field possession on the ensuing kickoff with a 72-yard return to the Susquehanna 17-yard line. Tyler deRouen ran five straight times to move the ball down to the one-yard line. Junior quarterback Brad Swartz (Temple, PA/Muhlenberg HS) finished the drive with a one-yard sneak on fourth-and-goal. Sophomore kicker Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville HS) added the extra-point to cut Susquehanna’s lead to 14-7 with 18 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

Early in the third quarter, Susquehanna took over at its own 45-yard line and drove Moravian ten-yard line where the Crusaders connected on a 27-yard field goal for a 17-7 Susquehanna lead with 7:16 remaining in the third quarter.

Moravian started the ensuing drive at its own 28-yard line. The Greyhounds would pick up four first downs and drive to the Susquehanna 17-yard line where Reckenbeil connected on a 34-yard field goal to cut the Crusaders lead to 17-10 with 3:41 remaining in the third quarter.

The Greyhounds methodically drove down the field on their next drive, mixing up the pass and run. Tyler deRouen capped off the 66-yard drive with a three-yard run on the 13^th play of the drive. Reckenbeil’s extra-point was blocked, keeping Susquehanna ahead, 17-16, with 9:55 remaining in the contest.

Susquehanna would begin at its own 25-yard line. On a third down play, Moravian senior linebacker Cliff Garr (Easton, PA/Notre Dame HS) forced his second fumble of the game and Dan Edleman (Pottstown, PA/The Hill School) recovered his second fumble of the game at the Susquehanna University 33-yard line, giving the Greyhounds’ possession with 8:40 to play. Moravian would pickup one first down and moved the ball to the Susquehanna 14-yard line where Reckenbeil’s 31-yard field goal attempt was just wide left after a bad snap. Susquehanna took over on its own 20-yard line with 6:39 to play.

The Crusaders gained just four yards on three plays before punting. After an eight-yard punt return by freshman Ryan Rempe (Dickson City, PA/Mid-Valley HS), Moravian took over at its own 49-yard line with 4:01 remaining. On the Greyhounds first set of downs, Moravian faced a fourth-and-one at the Susquehanna 45 yard line. Swartz took the snap and stumble to the ground while pitching the ball to Tyler deRouen. DeRouen muffed the ball but it bounced right up into his hands and he raced down the right sideline 42 yards for the touchdown with 2:22 remaining. Moravian went for the two-point conversion and Swartz found sophomore fullback Morgan deRouen (West Milford, NJ/West Milford HS) to give the Greyhounds a 24-17 advantage.

Susquehanna took over on its own 21-yard line for its final drive. The Crusaders picked up two quick first downs despite fumbling for the sixth time in the game, and with a late hit penalty on Moravian, moved the ball to the Moravian 36-yard line with 1:34 remaining. However, the Greyhounds would force the Crusaders to turn the ball over on downs at the 27-yard line when Moravian sophomore defensive lineman Don Maxwell (Berkeley Heights, NJ/Governor Livingston HS) tackled the Susquehanna quarterback a yard shy of a first down with 45 seconds remaining to seal the Moravian win.

Swartz completed 12 of 24 passes for 144 yards in his first collegiate start while being sacked three times. Junior tight end Kris Bisci (Easton, PA/Easton HS) caught four oases for 51 yards while senior wide receiver Shawn Martell (Bethlehem, PA/Bethlehem Catholic HS) had three receptions for 41 yards. Tyler deRouen caught two passes for 14 yards while sophomore wide receiver Tyler Hersch (Macungie, PA/Emmaus HS) had two receptions for 20 yards. Panepinto gained 12 yards on three carries for the Greyhounds before leaving the game with an injury.

Sophomore linebacker Andrew Morrissey (Emmaus, PA/Emmaus HS) led the Greyhound defense with nine tackles and two forced fumbles while Edleman had eight tackles with one for loss to go with his two fumble recoveries. Maxwell and Garr each had seven tackles while freshman defensive back Brad Bodine (Mt. Bethel, PA/Bangor HS) had Moravian’s only sack.
