MORAVIAN’S
STACEE CUPPLES NAMED TO ALL-COMMONWEALTH CONFERENCE
FIELD HOCKEY SECOND TEAM
ANNVILLE, PA --- Junior forward Stacee
Cupples (Allentown, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) of the Moravian College
field hockey team has been named to the All-Commonwealth Conference Second Team announced
Tuesday.
Cupples helped
the Greyhounds to their best season in nearly a decade as Moravian tied the school record
for wins in a season with a 10-8 overall record. The winning record was Moravian’s
first since 1997 with the ten victories equaling the win totals from the 1988, 1989,
1992 and 1996 seasons. Moravian was also 2-5 in Commonwealth Conference action this season,
the first time since 1998 that the Greyhounds had won more than one conference match
in a season. Of Moravian’s eight losses in 2004, four were by one goal, including
one in double overtime, and four losses were to nationally ranked teams.
Cupples led
Moravian in scoring with fall with 16 goals and a school record 11 assists for 43 points. Cupples’ goal
total is tied for the third-best single season in school history while her 43 total points
are the second highest single season since Moravian began field hockey in 1974. Cupples also
had five game-winning goals for Moravian this season and was three-of-four on penalty
stroke attempts.
In three seasons, Cupples has
scored 19 goals and added 15 assists (second in school history) for 53 points. This past
fall was Cupples first full season at forward after playing in the midfield
her first two years.
