KORSAK & JACOUBS NAMED MORAVIAN STUDENT-ATHELTES OF THE WEEK
BETHLEHEM, PA --- Freshman Valerie Korsak (Coplay, PA/Whitehall HS) from
the women’s volleyball team and freshman Chris Jacoubs (Fair Haven, NJ/Rumson-Fair
Haven HS) of the football squad have been named the Moravian College Student-Athletes
of the Week for their performances last week.
Korsak, a setter, led the Greyhounds to the Commonwealth Conference
Championship match for the eighth straight season before Moravian fell to eventual champion
Juniata College. Korsak had 42 assists and nine digs in the Greyhounds’ 3-0
victory at Lebanon Valley College in the semifinals, and she added 21 assists and seven
digs in the loss at Juniata. Moravian has a 26-9 overall record and will find out on Monday,
November 10th if the squad has received its third straight bid to the Eastern College Athletic
Conference South Championships.
Jacoubs, a tailback, ran for a school-record 319 yards and three touchdowns
on 51 carries but Albright College rallied from a 24-14 fourth quarter deficit to a 28-24
victory in MAC action. Jacoubs broke James Evanko’s school
record of 256 yards set on November 14th, 1953 against Wagner College. Jacoubs passed
the mark on a 21-yard carry, his 39th attempt of the game, with 12 minutes remaining in
the fourth quarter. Jacoubs’ 319 yards was the second highest single-game
total in MAC history and leaves him just 28 yards shy of becoming the second running back
in Moravian history to reach 1,000 yards in a single season and 77 yards short of Jim
Joseph’s single season record of 1,048 yards. Jacoubs had
four carries of over 20 yards in the game with nine attempts of over 12 yards and a long
run of 46 yards on the second play of the game. Moravian has a 3-6 overall record this
season and a 3-6 slate in the MAC. The Greyhounds will closeout the 2003 season with a
non-conference game at rival Muhlenberg College on Saturday, November 15th at 1:00 p.m.
at Scotty Wood Stadium in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
