Bryan Stabbe chats with Coach John Troxell the Diplomats get set for Homecoming weekend, they prepare to play host to the Moravian Greyhounds. The game is the 27th meeting in a series that began in Lancaster in 1932 with a 21-7 F&M win. It marks the eighth meeting between these schools under the auspices of the Centennial Conference. F&M still holds a 19-7 edge in a series in the previously on-again, off-again relationship. The first eight games were spread out over 42 seasons. The teams met for 11-consecutive seasons (1972-1982) competing in the MAC with F&M holding a 15-1 lead at the end of that streak. The series has been competitive since Moravian joined the CC, with the Greyhounds holding a slight 4-3 edge. The Diplomats seek a measure of revenge, as the last time these two teams met, Moravian turned five turnovers into 31 points in the first half and held off a late rally to defeat Franklin & Marshall 52-42 last season on Oct. 26, 2013.
