LANCASTER, Pa. --- Senior wide receiver Alex Hersch (Macungie, PA/Emmaus HS) of the Moravian College football team has been named to the 2010 Fall All-Centennial Conference Sportsmanship Team.

The Centennial Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee established the All-Sportsmanship Team in 2007.  Each team elected one member from their team who displayed good sportsmanship throughout the season to be a member of the All-Centennial Sportsmanship Team.

This fall, Hersch helped the Greyhounds to a 7-4 overall record, a 6-3 mark in Centennial Conference action and the ECAC Division III Southeast Bowl Championship.  Hersch had his best season for Moravian, catching 32 passes for 489 yards and three touchdowns, and he added one rushing attempt for 14 yards, 24 punt returns for 194 yards and six kickoff returns for 119 yards.  Hersch completed his career with 65 catches for 990 yards and six touchdowns, and he is second in school history with 51 punt returns for 339 yards.

Moravian’s other All-Centennial Sportsmanship honorees are Ryan Rempe in 2009 and Carl Robinson in both 2007 and 2008.
