MORAVIAN'S BREY NAMED COMMONWEALTH CONFERENCE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

ANNVILLE, PA --- Sophomore third baseman Janelle Brey (Allentown, PA/Dieruff HS) has been named the Commonwealth Conference Softball Player of the Week for her performance last week.

Brey helped the Greyhounds to a 6-0 record last week with sweeps of Ursinus, Haverford and Susquehanna.  Brey only played half a game against Ursinus but made up for the lack of playing time in her other four games.  At Haverford, Brey was 6-for-9 with five doubles and five RBIs. S he had three doubles in the first game to tie the Moravian single game record.  Versus Susquehanna, Brey was 3-for-8 with a double, two homeruns and seven RBIs.  Brey's two homers gave her ten, breaking the Moravian career mark of nine.  Brey needed just 50 games to break the record.  Her first was a two-run shot and the second was a grand slam, both breaking open close games. 

For the week, Brey was 9-for-19 (only one was a single) with six doubles, two homeruns, 12 RBIs, four runs scored and she had five putouts, 11 assists and one error in 17 chances at third base.  Moravian is currently 17-3 on the year and 3-1 in the Commonwealth Conference and will return to action at nationally ranked Rowan (NJ) University on Thursday, April 4th.
