The Moravian College women's cross country team had another banner year this fall with its nine straight Middle Atlantic Conference Championship, a second consecutive NCAA Division III Mideast Regional Championship and the third in school history and a third place finish in the NCAA Division III National Championships, the fourth top five finish in the last nine years for the Greyhounds.  Moravian has also had nine straight MAC Individual Champions.

Head coach Mark Will-Weber, who completed his 15th year at the helm, had the team tie its best finish at nationals with the third place showing. The Greyhounds were also third in 1993 and 1995. Moravian has also finished fourth in1994, the year the Bethlehem school hosted the national meet, fifth a year ago in Spokane, Washington, eighth in 1997, 13th in 1996, 14th in 1998 and 20th in 1999. Moravian finished the season ranked third in the NCAA Division III Coaches National Poll and the squad was ranked as the top team in the country for six weeks earlier in the year after defeating defending National Champions Middlebury (VT) College, who also won the 2001 title, on Middlebury's course in mid-September.

Coach Will-Weber had what he thought was his best team ever this year and it showed in the teams individual accolades - three All-Americans for the first time in school history, all seven runners ear NCAA Division III All-Mideast Region honors for finishing in the top 35, eight MAC All-Stars for top 20 finishes and nine student-athletes named to the MAC Fall All-Academic Team.
