HUNTINGDON, Pa.- The Juniata football travels to Bethlehem this weekend to face second-place Moravian. Kickoff from Rocco Calvo Field will be at 12:00 p.m.

The Eagles have won their last two games and sit on 3-5 overall and 2-5 in the Centennial Conference. Juniata defeated McDaniel in Westminster, Md. 20-7 last Saturday. The duo of Matt Lehr and Deonte Alston combined for 157 yards and three scores to lead the rushing attack for the Eagles. Lehr led in rushing with 87 yards on 18 carries and one score. Alston had 23 carries for 70 yards and two scores. The defense also had a big game as it came away with three turnovers while special teams picked up two.

 

The Greyhounds are 7-1 overall and 6-1 in the Centennial. They are currently riding a five-game winning streak. Linebacker Ed Delia blocked a pair of punts in the first 5:15 of the game and the Greyhounds turned both blocks into touchdowns as the Hounds raced to a 21-0 lead in a 35-32 victory over Gettysburg at home last week. The Hounds finished the game with 408 yards of total offense and held possession of the ball for more than 30 minutes.  Quarterback Mike Hayes completed 23-of-30 passes for 241 yards with three touchdowns. Running back Chris Negron hit the 100-yard mark for the fifth straight game and the 12th time in his career as he picked up 139 yards and a touchdown on 37 carries.

 

The Hounds and Eagles will be playing each other for the 61st time. For Juniata, it is the second-most games against one team other than Susquehanna. Moravian leads 30-28-2. The last time the two schools met in 2014, Moravian came away with a 27-21 win at Knox Stadium.
