MORAVIAN WOMEN’S SOCCER MOVES UP TO 7TH IN NSCAA
MID-ATLANTIC REGION POLL
MISSION, KS --- The Moravian College women’s soccer team moved up one spot to seventh
in the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America Mid-Atlantic Regional poll
released Wednesday afternoon.
The Greyhounds, who are 15-5-1 on the season, were eighth in the region last week after
being ranked fifth the prior week. Moravian received its highest-ever regional ranking
three weeks ago in fourth place after not being ranked the previous week due to a paperwork
error. Moravian was ranked sixth in the region the three previous weeks after debuting
in the fifth spot in the second poll of the year, which had been Moravian’s highest-ever
regional ranking.
Messiah College sits atop the region and the nation with an 18-0 record, and the Falcons
are followed by The College of New Jersey (18-0), Johns Hopkins University (16-3-1) Rowan
(NJ) University (15-1-2), Catholic University (18-0-2), Dickinson College (14-2-3) and
the Greyhounds. Rounding out the top ten after Moravian are the University of Mary Washington
(12-4-1), Haverford College (14-4-1) and Wilkes University (15-3-1).
The Greyhounds defeated Mary Washington, 2-0 on September 11th and lost to Haverford College, 1-0 on
October 5th, Wilkes University, 1-0 on September 17th, and Messiah College, 3-1 on October 15th, and
4-0 in the Commonwealth Conference Championship match on November 5th.
The Greyhounds will return to action in their first-ever NCAA Division III National Championship
Tournament match on Saturday, November 12th when Moravian plays Washington 7 Lee University
in a First Round match at Dickinson College beginning at approximately 1:30 p.m.
