MORAVIAN REMAINS 28th IN DON HANSEN’S FOOTBALL GAZETTE TOP 40

WESTMONT, IL --- The Moravian College football team has remained 28th in this week’s Don Hansen’s National Weekly Football Gazette Division III Top 40 poll for the third consecutive week.

The Greyhounds, who are 6-0 overall and 6-0 in the Middle Atlantic Conference, debuted in the poll a month ago at 34th and moved up one spot to 33rd after defeating Lebanon Valley College, 27-20. Moravian then jumped five spots two weeks after a 21-18 come-from-behind victory in the final minute versus King’s College. The Greyhounds remained in 28th place after a 34-27 victory at Wilkes University and kept the same spot after last Saturday’s 35-27 win over FDU-Florham. Delaware Valley College, the only MAC team Moravian doesn’t play this season, is ranked 19th in the poll. The 6-0 start is the best for Moravian since the 1940 season.

Moravian will be looking for its first 7-0 in school history on Saturday, October 23rd when the Greyhounds travel to Lycoming College for an MAC game at David Person Field in Williamsport beginning at 1:00 p.m.
