Football – 4-5 (MAC 4-5)

Last Week – Lost to *Lebanon Valley College, 55-21.  *MAC game

This Week – Sat., Nov. 11th vs. Muhlenberg College, 1:00 p.m. 

                The Greyhounds lost their final Middle Atlantic Conference game of the season, falling to Lebanon Valley College, 55-21.  Moravian, which will join the Centennial Conference next fall, finishes its 48-yard affiliation with the MAC with an overall record of 189-174-12.  The 55 points allowed by Moravian is the most since a 56-21 loss to Widener University on October 23, 1983, and the first time the Greyhounds have allowed over 50 points since a 52-26 loss to Muhlenberg College in 1999.

 

                Lebanon Valley received the opening kickoff and a 43-yard return set the Flying Dutchmen up at the Moravian 47-yard line.  Lebanon Valley needed just seven plays to take a 7-0 lead with 11:55 remaining in the first quarter.  On the ensuing kickoff, Moravian sophomore wide receiver Antuan Dixon (Kansas City, MO/St. Mark’s HS) fumbled the ball at the Moravian 35-yard line with Lebanon Valley recovering at the Moravian41-yard line.  On the first play, Lebanon Valley scored on a 41-yard touchdown pass.  The extra-point built a 14-0 lead with 11:17 left in the first quarter.

 

                Dixon would had another good return for the Greyhounds to the Lebanon Valley 39-yard line, but Moravian sophomore running back Tyler McCambridge (Northampton, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) fumbled on the first play with Lebanon Valley recovering at its own 42-yard line.  The Flying Dutchmen drove 58 yards in just four plays for a 21-0 lead with 9:32 to play in the first quarter.

 

                Moravian would begin its second possession of the game at its own 37-yard line.  The Greyhounds put together a 12-play, 63-yard drive to score.  Freshman quarterback Ryan Rempe (Dickson City, PA/Mid-Valley HS) connected on a five-yard pass to junior tight end Kris Bisci (Easton, PA/Easton HS) for Bisci’s fifth touchdown reception of the season.  Sophomore Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville HS) added the extra-point to cut the Lebanon Valley lead to 21-7 with 2:51 remaining in the first quarter.  Rempe completed seven of 13 passes for 59 yards while Bisci caught five passes for 46 yards.

 

                The Flying Dutchmen answered right back with a seven-play, 72-yard drive.  The extra-point was blocked by Moravian senior defensive line Alex Smith-Constantine (Secaucus, NJ/Secaucus HS) to leave the score at 27-7 with 14:56 remaining in the second quarter.  The Greyhounds got another good kickoff return from Dixon and started at the Lebanon Valley 43-yard line.  Eight plays later, McCambridge ran off the left side for an 11-yard touchdown run including a flip over a defender at the two-yard line into the end zone.  Reckenbeil added the extra-point to cut the deficit to 27-14 with 10:58 remaining in the first half. 

 

                Lebanon Valley scored again for a 34-14 lead with 7:56 remaining in the second quarter.  Each team would finally have to punt in their next possession and the Flying Dutchmen forced their third turnover of the game with an interception at the Moravian 19-yard line.  Rempe’s pass was intended for junior wide receiver Sean Hill (West Reading, PA/Wyomissing HS), who tipped the ball in the air for the interception.  Four plays later, Lebanon Valley scored for a 41-14 lead with just 25 seconds remaining in the first half.

 

                The Greyhounds needed just one play to start the second half with a score.  Hill returned the second half kickoff to the Moravian 44-yard line.  On the first offensive play, McCambridge took the handoff and raced down the right side line for a 56-yard touchdown run.  Reckenbeil made the extra-point to cut the Lebanon Valley lead to 41-21 with 14:29 remaining in the third quarter.  The touchdown was McCambridge’s seventh rushing touchdown on the year and eighth overall, and he finished the game with 148 yards on 22 carries for his third 100-plus yard game in four contests.

 

                The Moravian defense forced the Flying Dutchmen into a three-and-out, but Greyhounds sophomore wide receiver Tyler Hersch (Macungie, PA/Emmaus HS) fumbled the punt return with Lebanon Valley covering the ball at the Moravian 43-yard line.  The Greyhound defense would force another punt; however, Moravian would only run three plays before punting itself.  Lebanon Valley would drive down into the red zone but faced a fourth and two from the Moravian 16-yard line.  The Flying Dutchmen attempted a 33-yard field goal attempt but the kick was wide left.  Moravian took over at its own 20-yard line.

 

                Moravian ran three plays and punted the ball away.  The Flying Dutchmen started their drive at the Moravian 39-yard line.  Lebanon Valley would finish off the drive with a ten-yard scoring pass for a 48-21 lead just two plays and 52 seconds into the fourth quarter.

 

                Moravian picked up on first down on its next drive on a run Hill on a reverse, but the Greyhound offense stalled and would be forced to punt again.  Lebanon Valley would take possession at its own 33-yard line and drove down into the red zone and the Moravian four-yard line.  Facing a fourth-and-goal from the seven yard line, the Flying Dutchmen connected on another touchdown for a 55-21 lead with 4:43 remaining in the game. 

 

                Hill added 18 yards on two rushing attempts, and he caught one pass for ten yards while freshman tight end Brian Dencker (Boonton, NJ/Boonton HS) had two receptions for 18 yards for the Greyhounds.

 

                Sophomore linebacker Kevin McGorry (Whitehall, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) led the Moravian defense with 13 tackles with one for loss while Smith-Constantine, sophomore linebacker Andrew Morrissey (Emmaus, PA/Emmaus HS) and senior linebacker Cliff Garr (Easton, PA/Notre Dame HS) each had ten tackles.  Smith-Constantine had four tackles for loss to go with his blocked kick.
