Greyhound Weekly Update, September 8, 2008 (-2222-)

 

Football – 1-0 (Centennial Conference 0-0)

Last Week – Defeated Susquehanna University, 27-14.

This Week – Sat., Sept. 13th at McDaniel College, 1:00 p.m.

 

                Senior kicker Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville HS) opened the 2008 season with a school record 47-yard field goal, and he scored a total of nine points in the first half while helping Moravian jump out to a 27-0 halftime lead in a 27-14 victory over Susquehanna University in non-conference action at a rain-soaked Rocco Calvo Field Saturday afternoon to begin the year.

            Reckenbeil capped the Greyhounds’ first drive of the season with his school record kick at the 9:24 mark of the first quarter. The kick, which bettered his personal best 42 yards from the 2006 season, finished off a 10-play, 43-yard drive for Moravian.

            Susquehanna would drive down the field in its opening drive of the game as far as the Moravian eight-yard line before the Crusaders had to settle for a field goal attempt by sophomore Bobby Eppleman.  However, Eppleman’s 27-yard field goal attempt was blocked by Moravian senior linebacker Kevin McGorry (Whitehall, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS).

            Moravian moved right back down the field in a drive that included four long plays.  Senior quarterback Marc Braxmeier (Center Valley, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) had a 20-yard run on the second play of the drive and then hit senior running back Tyler McCambridge (Northampton, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) with a 14-yard pass play.  Senior fullback Morgan deRouen (West Milford, NJ/West Milford HS) scampered for 13 yards on the next play to set up a 22-yard touchdown run by McCambridge, who had 64 yards on 19 carries to go with his touchdown. Reckenbeil added the extra-point to give the Greyhounds a 10-0 lead with 43 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

            Susquehanna ran just two plays on its next drive with Moravian senior defensive lineman Doug Bocchino (Madison, NJ/Madison HS) forcing Crusader junior running back Dave Paveletz to fumble the ball on the second play.  Greyhound sophomore linebacker Philip Bortz (Allentown, PA/Parkland HS) recovered the ball to set the Moravian offense up at the Susquehanna 36-yard line. 

            Six plays later, Reckenbeil connected on a 35-yard field goal with 13:10 to go in the second quarter to give Moravian a 13-0 lead. Reckenbeil, who played soccer in high school and did not kick a football until coming to Moravian in 2005, now owns or shares all but one of the Greyhound kicking records.  In addition to the longest field goal in school history, Reckenbeil owns marks for field goals in a game, tied with three, field goals in a season with 11, field goals in a career, now 30, extra-points in a game, tied with seven, extra-points in a career, now tied with 73 after making three versus Susquehanna, points in a game, tied with 11, points in a season with 62 and points in a career, now with 163.  He is fourth in school history in total point, and the only school record Reckenbeil doesn’t own is extra-points in a season.

            Susquehanna wouldn’t fair much better in its next drive.  On the second play, senior quarterback Derek Pope was being blitz by Moravian junior linebacker Jayson Williams (Collingswood, NJ/Collingswood HS) and fumbled the ball.  Greyhound sophomore defensive lineman Michael McClarin (Bethlehem, PA/Liberty HS) scooped up the loss ball and returned it 23 yards to the Crusader 11-yard line.

            Moravian needed just two plays to extend it lead with Braxmeier connecting on a nine-yard touchdown pass to Morgan deRouen, who had two catches for 16 yards and a score to go with 37 yards on eight carries.  Reckenbeil’s PAT gave the Greyhounds a 20-0 advantage with 12:03 remaining in the first half.

The Crusaders would punt on their next two possessions, which were sandwiched around a Moravian turnover.  The Greyhounds had moved into the red zone again, in part because of a 13-yard pass from Braxmeier to sophomore wide receiver Alex Hersch (Macungie, PA/Emmaus HS) and a 33-yard run by senior tailback Tyler deRouen (West Milford, NJ/West Milford HS).  However, Susquehanna freshman linebacker Mitch Phillips forced Morgan deRouen to fumble the ball at the seven-yard line.  Senior defensive lineman Chris Ushinski recovered for the Crusaders.

            After a 61-yard punt by Eppleman, the Greyhounds took over at their own 11-yard line with 2:24 to play in the first half.  Tyler deRouen, who finished the game with 131 yards on 24 carries, would run for 14 yards on the first play of the drive, and he added runs of ten, nine and seven yards to help Moravian move down to the Susquehanna 40-yard line with just 28 seconds on the clock. 

            Braxmeier then hit Alex Hersch  with a 15-yard pass, and after a spike of the ball to stop the clock, Braxmeier hit Alex Hersch, who had a team high four catches for 58 yards, again for 24 yards to the one-yard line.  Braxmeier, who completed 12 of 19 passes for 135 yards and a score, finished off the drive with a one-yard touchdown dive after a Susquehanna timeout.  Braxmeier had 22 yards on eight carries.  Reckenbeil’s school-record tying extra-point, his 41st in a row, gave Moravian a 27-0 lead with just eight seconds until halftime.

When the second half started under a steady downpour, neither team could muster any offense.  Susquehanna punted twice and Moravian once before the Greyhounds had a bad center exchange on their second drive of the half.  Susquehanna senior defensive lineman Andy LeClere jumped on the loose ball and gave the Crusaders possession at the Moravian 29-yard line. 

Pope, who was 13 for 30 for 146 yards and two interceptions, would connect on a 24-yard pass to senior wide receiver Matt Koziol on the first play of the drive.  Two plays later, Paveletz drove in the end zone on a one-yard plunge for Susquehanna’s first points of the game and season.  Eppleman made the extra-point to cut Moravian’s lead to 27-7 with 9:29 to go in the third quarter.

Things didn’t get much better for the Greyhounds on their next drive when attempting a punt after going three-and-out, the snap rolled back to senior punter Michael Voskian (Brielle, NJ/Manasquan HS), who fell on the ball and turned it over to Susquehanna on the Moravian 35-yard line.

However, the Crusaders picked up just one yard on four plays giving the ball right back to Moravian.  The Greyhounds would move the ball into Susquehanna territory on a 22-yard run by McCambridge, but Moravian would turn the ball over on downs at the Crusader 34-yard line.

Susquehanna would give Paveletz the ball six straight times, and with the help of a personal foul penalty on the Greyhounds, and a 27-yard run by Paveletz on the fifth play, the Crusaders scored on another one-yard run by Paveletz, who finished the game with 117 yards on 25 carries.  Eppleman connected on the extra-point to pull Susquehanna within 27-14 with 2:53 to go in the third quarter.

Neither team would be able to do much on offense the rest of the game and the rain continued to intensify.  Moravian would turn the ball over on downs in its next two drives and settle for punts by Voskian in its final two drives of the game. 

Susquehanna turned the ball over on its final three drives of the game.  Moravian sophomore defensive lineman Jacob Millen (Whitehall, PA/Whitehall HS) forced Paveletz to fumble after a seven-yard completion.  Pope was then intercepted by senior defensive back Carl Robinson (Boothwyn, PA/Garnet Valley HS) and sophomore defensive back Daniel Burley.  Burley’s interception came in the end zone on a fourth down play with just 1:58 remaining in the contest.

Greyhound senior wide receiver Tyler Hersch (Macungie, PA/Emmaus HS) had two receptions for 25 yards while McCambridge caught two passes for 24 yards and junior tight end Brian Dencker (Boonton, NJ/Boonton HS) had two catches for 12 yards.

The Moravian defense forced six turnovers in the game, four fumbles and a pair of interceptions.  Senior linebacker Andrew Morrissey (Emmaus, PA/Emmaus HS) led the way with 11 tackles while McGorry added ten tackles, a fumble recovery and a blocked kick.  Senior defensive back Erik Brinkerhoff (Boonton, NJ/Boonton HS) contributed eight tackles, a half tackle for loss and a forced fumble while Bocchino had seven tackles with a sack and two forced fumbles.  Robinson made six tackles to go with a sack, his interception and two other pass break-ups while senior defensive lineman Don Maxwell (Berkley Heights, NJ/Governor Livingston HS) had six tackles and a pass break-up.  Williams had two tackles, a sack and a forced fumble before leaving the game with an injury in the first half.
