Bracken recorded a game-high 11 tackles with one tackle for loss, and he added an interception in the end zone to stop a Crusaders' drive in the second quarter. Bracken had a total of two passes defended in the 27-17 loss, and he now has two interceptions and six passes defended to lead the Moravian defense. He also leads the squad with 61 tackles on the season.
"Kevin has really become a leader for our defense and our team this season," stated Head Coach Jeff Pukszyn. "His interception on Saturday came at a crucial time in the game, and he has made plays like that all season. Kevin is getting better every week and making everyone around him better as well."
Moravian will return to action on Saturday, October 26 when the Greyhounds host Franklin & Marshall College in a Centennial Conference game at Rocco Calvo Field. Kickoff is slated for 12:05 p.m. with the game being broadcast live by Service Electric TV-2 Sports.
