FOUR NAMED MORAVIAN STUDENT-ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
BETHLEHEM, PA --- Senior Jennifer Genevese (Whitehall, PA/Whitehall
HS) of the women’s tennis team, junior Amy Lawrence (Gettysburg,
PA/Delone Catholic HS) from the women’s volleyball squad, senior Charlie
Bowden (Parlin, NJ/Sayreville War Memorial HS) of the football team and sophomore Jim
Feimster (Stroudsburg, PA/Pocono Mountain HS) from the men’s soccer
squad have been named the Moravian College Student-Athletes of the Week for their performances
last week.
Genevese, Moravian’s top singles and doubles player,
led the Greyhounds to their third straight Middle Atlantic Conference Championship and
the squad’s sixth title in seven seasons with an 8-1 victory over Messiah College
last Monday. Genevese had both a singles and a doubles win in the match
and her singles triumph was the point that gave Moravian the title. Genevese also
posted a 3-1 record at the 2002 MAC Individual Tournament last week. She was seeded third
in the tournament and reached the semifinals before being knocked out. Genevese had
a singles victory in Moravian’s other match last week, a 6-3 victory at Marywood
College to finish her career with a 53-13 singles mark. Moravian completed the season
at 15-0 and has a 38-match winning streak.
Lawrence, a setter, led the Greyhounds to a 4-1 record
last week including a 3-0 victory over Elizabethtown College in Commonwealth Conference
action. In the five matches, Lawrence averaged 11.87 assists, 4.13 digs
and 1.53 kills per game while hitting .512 for the week. Lawrence committed
just one hitting error in 32 chances as Moravian posted a 3-1 record at the Green Terror
Invitational hosted by McDaniel College. She had a triple-double in the Greyhounds’ 3-0
victory over regionally ranked Eastern University with 36 assists, 13 digs and 10 kills. Lawrence also
added three service aces and three blocks during the week. Moravian, now 18-7 on the
season, returns to action on Wednesday, October 23rd in a Commonwealth Conference match
at Susquehanna University beginning at 7:00 p.m. With a victory in that match, Moravian
will clinch its seventh straight postseason appearance.
Bowden completed 9 of 1 passes for 187 yards with three
touchdowns and he ran three times for 47 yards and a score to lead the Greyhounds to
a 33-13 victory over Delaware Valley College in Middle Atlantic Conference action. Bowden was
not sacked in the game and for the first time in 2002, he did not throw an interception.
He had a 31-yard run on a third down play that set up his third touchdown pass of the
game. With the three touchdown passes in the game, Bowden now has 36
in his career to move into third all-time at Moravian. The Greyhounds have won three
straight games to improve their record to 4-2 overall and in the MAC. Moravian will return
to action on Saturday, October 26th at Wilkes University in a 1:00 p.m. kickoff.
Feimster, a midfielder, helped keep Moravian’s
postseason chances alive as the Greyhounds posted a 2-0 record last week. Feimster netted
the only goal in Moravian’s 1-0 victory at Franklin & Marshall College. The
goal was his third of the season and all three have won matches. Feimster added
an assist on the Greyhounds’ winning goal in the 83rd minute of a 2-1 victory at
Susquehanna University in Commonwealth Conference action. The win got Moravian back to
.500 in conference action and keeps them in the race for one of the four-playoff spots.
The Greyhounds, now 6-5-2 on the year, return to action on Tuesday, October 22nd in a
Commonwealth Conference match at Elizabethtown College beginning at 7:00 p.m.
