Football – 3-0 (Centennial Conference 1-0)

Last Week – Defeated Lebanon Valley College, 23-16.

This Week – Sat., Sept. 27th vs. Johns Hopkins University, 1:00 p.m.

 

                Senior tailback Tyler McCambridge (Northampton, PA/Allentown Central Catholic) ran for 119 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries to lead Moravian to a 23-16 victory at Lebanon Valley College’s Arnold Field. The Greyhounds improved to 3-0 on the season with the victory in its final non-conference game of the year while the Flying Dutchmen suffered their first loss of the season, falling to 2-1.

The Flying Dutchmen received the opening kickoff and punted after three plays.  Moravian would also attempt a punt on its first drive after three plays.  However, the snap when over senior punter Michael Voskian (Brielle, NJ/Manasquan) head and through the back of the end zone for a safety, giving Lebanon Valley a 2-0 lead with 12:44 to go in the first quarter.  The two points were the first Moravian had allowed in the first half this season.

Lebanon Valley would move into the red zone on its next possession.  However, junior tailback Charlie Parker was unable to control a handoff from sophomore quarterback Caleb Fick, putting the ball on the turf.  Greyhound senior defensive back Erik Brinkerhoff (Boonton, NJ/Boonton) jumped on the loose ball to give Moravian possession on its own 18-yard line.

Moravian would respond by taking the ball the full 82-yards to the end zone in 12 plays with McCambridge diving in from one-yard to finish off the drive.  Senior kicker Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville) made his 48th straight extra-point to give the Greyhounds a 7-2 with 3:46 to play in the first quarter.  During the drive, senior quarterback Marc Braxmeier (Center Valley, PA/Allentown Central Catholic) hit senior wide receiver Tyler Williams (Coplay, PA/Whitehall) with a 26-yard pass to move inside the Lebanon Valley 30-yard line.  Braxmeier was just six of 17 in the game with 86 yards.

The Flying Dutchmen were driving again with Fick completing a pass to Matt Donley when Moravian junior linebacker Derek Protasiewicz (Whippany, NJ/Whippany Park) hit Donley and forced a fumble that was recovered by Greyhound senior defensive lineman Don Maxwell (Berkley Heights, NJ/Governor Livingston) at the Moravian 24-yard line to give the ball back to the Greyhound offense.

The Greyhounds would move into Lebanon Valley territory before a Moravian penalty and a sack would for Moravian punt early in the second quarter.

Lebanon Valley moved the ball down the field and inside the Moravian 30-yard line but a sack by Greyhound senior defensive lineman Doug Bocchino (Madison, NJ/Madison) sacked Fick on a third down play at the Greyhound 36-yard line, forcing the Flying Dutchmen to punt.

Moravian was only able to run three plays for punting as well.  Lebanon Valley needed just two plays to take the lead with Fick hitting junior wide Joe Brennan with a 65-yard touchdown pass between double coverage.  Sophomore Brittney Ryan made the extra-point to put the Flying Dutchmen ahead, 9-7, with 7:32 to go in the second quarter.  Fick was 17 of 28 in the game for 228 yards but was sacked four times.  The touchdown was the first the Greyhound defense had allowed this season.

The teams would trade punts for the remainder of the first half until Lebanon Valley’s final possession ended at the half after back to back sacks by Bocchino and sophomore defensive lineman Allen Petros (Bethlehem, PA/Liberty).

Moravian received the opening kickoff of the second half but was unable to move the ball, punting after three plays.  The Flying Dutchmen offense didn’t fare much better, punting after three plays as well with Moravian sophomore linebacker Anthony Carney (Bethlehem, PA/Bethlehem Catholic) picking up a sack of Fick on third down.

The Greyhounds would take possession after the Lebanon Valley punt at the Flying-Dutchmen 48-yard line.  Four plays later, McCambridge, who carried the ball on all four plays, ran in from 31 yards for his second touchdown of the game.  Braxmeier then hit junior tight end Brian Dencker (Boonton, NJ/Boonton) with the two-point conversion pass to give Moravian a 15-9 lead with 10:03 remaining in the third quarter.  McCambridge went over 100 yards rushing for the second straight game on his touchdown run.

The Flying Dutchmen moved the ball down to the Moravian 30-yard line after a 24-yard shuffle pass from Fick to Parker.  However, a Lebanon Valley penalty and three incomplete passes for the Flying Dutchmen forced a punt.

Moravian would move the ball out near midfield with a trio of first downs but the Greyhounds’ drive stalled forcing a punt.

Lebanon Valley then went on its longest drive of the game, covering 82 yards in 14 plays.  Parker finished the drive with an eight-yard touchdown run.  Ryan’s kick pushed the Flying Dutchmen ahead 16-15 with 10:02 remaining in the game.  A key play on the drive was a fourth-and-four completion for five yards from Fick to Donley.  Parker ran for 84 yards on 24 carries. 

The Greyhounds responded by going straight down the field and retaking the lead with a ten-play, 75-yard drive capped off with an 18-yard touchdown run by senior tailback Tyler deRouen (West Milford, NJ/West Milford).  Moravian would go for the two-point conversion again with Braxmeier hitting Dencker again to give the Greyhounds a 23-16 lead with 5:08 to play.  The key play on the drive for Moravian was a fourth-and-one dive by Braxmeier that there was a personal foul on the Lebanon Valley defense as well to move the ball just past midfield.  The Greyhounds ran the ball on eight of the ten plays on the drive.

The Flying Dutchmen would run just three plays with the Greyhound defense stepping up and making a tackle for a five-yard loss on a reverse by Lebanon Valley on second down. 

After the punt, Moravian took over on its own 33-yard line.  The Greyhounds would run out the clock by moving the ball down to the Lebanon Valley ten-yard line.

Tyler deRouen finished with 74 yards on 11 carries while senior fullback Morgan deRouen (West Milford, NJ/West Milford) had 71 yards on 11 attempts as the Greyhound offense ran the ball 50 times for 264 yards, the second straight game Moravian has run for more than 260 yards.   Braxmeier had 13 yards on six carries despite being sacked once.  Williams caught two passes for 42 yards while McCambridge had one catch for 15 yards which set up his second touchdown run.

Donley led Lebanon Valley with eight receptions for 74 yards while Brennan had six catches for 109 yards and his touchdown.  Brennan also carried the ball twice for 12 yards while Parker caught two passes for 29 yards.

Senior linebacker Kevin McGorry (Whitehall, PA/Allentown Central Catholic) led the Moravian defense with eight tackles including one and a half tackles for loss while Protasiewicz had seven tackles to go with his forced fumble.  Senior linebacker Andrew Morrissey (Emmaus, PA/Emmaus) also added seven tackles while Carney had six tackles with his sack, one of four by the Greyhounds.  Bocchino had just four tackles but two were sacks, and he added two and a half tackles for loss and a pass break-up at the line.
