BRIA NAMED COMMONWEALTH WOMEN’S SOCCER PLAYER OF THE WEEK

ANNVILLE, PA --- Moravian College junior defender Justina Bria (Warminster, PA/William Tennent HS) has been named the Commonwealth Conference Women’s Soccer Player of the Week for her performance last week.

Bria scored the winning goal in Moravian’s 2-1 victory over Lebanon Valley College, which was ranked eighth in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/adidas Mid-Atlantic Regional poll last week, in Commonwealth Conference action as the Greyhounds posted a 2-0 record for the week. Bria’s game-winner, her second goal of the season, came in the 78th minute of the match, just 12 minutes after the Flying Dutchmen had tied the contest. Bria was also a main factor in the Greyhounds’ 2-0 shutout of Delaware Valley College with her play at left back.

The Greyhounds return to action on Wednesday, October 9th in a non-conference home match with Drew University beginning at 4:00 p.m.
