Football – 3-3 (MAC 3-3)

Last Week – Defeated *FDU-Florham, 28-14. *MAC game

This Week – Sat., Oct. 21^st at *Wilkes University, 1:00 p.m. *MAC game

Sophomore running back Tyler McCambridge (Northampton, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) ran for a career high 166 yards and a touchdown on 33 carries to help Moravian overcome a 7-0 halftime deficit in a 28-14 Middle Atlantic Conference victory over FDU-Florham on Homecoming at Rocco Calvo Field.

The offenses started slowly in the game with FDU-Florham punting on its first three possessions and Moravian turning the ball over on downs once and punting once. On the Devils third drive, FDU-Florham had a touchdown called back by an illegal forward pass penalty.

Midway through the second quarter with the Greyhounds driving, Moravian sophomore fullback Morgan de Rouen (West Milford, NJ/West Milford HS) was stripped by FDU-Florham, which return the ball 60 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead with 7:40 remaining in the first quarter.

Moravian would respond with a good kickoff return and a pair of McCambridge runs to move the ball down to the FDU-Florham 30-yard line. However, the Greyhounds’ drive would stall and sophomore kicker Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville HS) came on for a 40-yard field goal attempt into the wind. The kick fell a few yards short of the uprights, preserving FDU-Florham’s 7-0 lead.

Freshman defensive back Brad Bodine (Mt. Bethel, PA/Bangor HS) would get the ball right back for Moravian, intercepting a pass on the second play of the drive. However, the Greyhounds would loose yardage on the drive and ended up punting. The Devils ran out the clock and went into the locker room with a 7-0 lead despite Moravian having a 121-57 advantage in total offense yards at the intermission.

The Greyhounds received the opening kickoff of the second half and drive 48 yards in 14 plays, taking 7:33 off the clock. Reckenbeil would finish off the drive with a 38-yard field goal with the wind, cutting FDU-Florham’s lead to 7-3 with 7:19 remaining in the third quarter. FDU-Florham would pick-up two first downs on its first drive of the second half but would eventually be forced to punt the ball back to Moravian.

The Greyhounds took over on their own 22-yard line and after an incomplete pass would use four consecutive runs by McCambridge including a game-long 35 yard scamper, to move the ball down to the FDU 22-yard line. The Greyhounds, however, would settle for a 39-yard field goal by Reckenbeil to cut the Devil lead to 7-6 with just 31 seconds remaining in the third quarter.

After forcing FDU-Florham to punt after three plays, Moravian took over at its own 24-yard. The Greyhounds drove down the field, picking up a pair of first downs on passes from freshman quarterback Ryan Rempe (Dickson City, PA/Mid-Valley HS), making his first career start, to junior wide receiver Sean Hill (West Reading, PA/Wyomissing HS). The first completion was for nine yards while the second was for 31 yards and put the ball on the Devil six-yard line. Three plays later, McCambridge leaped over the pile and into the end zone, giving Moravian its first touchdown of the game. McCambridge would then run off the right side and into the end zone for the two-point conversion to give the Greyhounds a 14-7 lead 8:30 remaining in the game. Hill finished the game with three receptions for 52 yards.

After FDU-Florham picked up a first down, Moravian senior linebacker Cliff Garr (Easton, PA/Notre Dame HS) knocked a pass up in the air and then he grabbed it and raced down the sideline for a 46-yard return before being tackled at the FDU one-yard line. McCambridge would run the ball twice but was stopped short of the goal line. On third down, Rempe rolled out to his right and looked to trying a quarterback keeper before stopping and finding junior tight end Kris Bisci (Easton, PA/Easton HS) in the back of the end zone for his first career touchdown pass. Reckenbeil’s extra-point gave the Greyhounds a 21-7 lead with 3:43 remaining. The point by Reckenbeil moved him into third in school history with 82 points. Rempe completed 11 of 17 passes for 113 yards in the game, and he added 15 yards on seven carries and was sacked just once.

On FDU-Florham’s first play of the ensuing drive, Moravian sophomore linebacker Andrew Morrissey (Emmaus, PA/Emmaus HS), stripped the ball after a completed pass and returned the fumble ball nine yards. However, the Greyhounds would give the ball back to the Devils on their second play when McCambridge fumbled. The Devils switched quarterbacks but dropped the first snap. Moravian sophomore defensive lineman Don Maxwell (Berkeley Heights, NJ/Governor Livingston HS) picked up the ball at the FDU 31-yard line and returned it into the end zone for a touchdown. Reckenbeil’s extra-point extended Moravian’s lead to 28-7 with 1:47 to play in the game.

The Devils drove right down the field and into the end zone for the first time in the game on offense to cut Moravian’s lead to 28-14 with 35 seconds remaining. The Devils tried an onside kick and would recover the ball when Moravian freshman tight end Brian Dencker (Boonton, NJ/Boonton HS) had the ball bounce off his leg. After a first down, had another touchdown called back by an illegal forward pass as time expired.

Bisci caught a total of three passes 19 yards while senior wide receiver Shawn Martell (Bethlehem, PA/Bethlehem Catholic HS) added two receptions for 26 yards. McCambridge had one catch for six yards while senior fullback Joe Coztanzo (Barnstead, NH/Bow HS & Tilton School) had two catches for ten yards, and he carried the ball four times for eight yard. De Rouen had 16 yards on six carries for the Greyhounds.

Morrissey led the Moravian defense with nine tackles and a pass break-up to go with his forced fumble and fumble recovery while Garr had seven tackles with one and a half for loss and a sack to go with his interception. Freshman linebacker Jayson Williams (Collingswood, NJ/Collingswood HS) added five tackles with two for loss, one sack and a forced fumble.
