HUGHES & HALL NAMED MORAVIAN STUDENT-ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

BETHLEHEM, PA --- Freshman Kim Hughes (Manasquan, NJ/St. Rose HS) from the women's basketball team and sophomore Kevin Hall (Mountain Top/Pocono Mountain HS) of the men's basketball squad have been named the Moravian College Student-Athletes of the Week for their performances last week.

Hughes, a guard, led Moravian to a third place finish at the 2000 Muskingum College Memorial Tournament over the weekend and was named to the All-Tournament Team for her efforts.  Hughes scored a career high 18 points and grabbed six rebounds in a 90-82 loss to host Muskingum.  Hughes helped the Greyhounds rally from a 23-point deficit with six minutes to play and cut the lead to five points before Muskingum put the game away.  In the consolation game, an 81-63 win over Methodist (NC) College, Hughes was on of three Moravian players to score 12 points in the win and she was perfect from the foul line (8-for-8) in the game.  Hughes added five rebounds, four steals and two assists in the win.  Hughes opened her collegiate career last Tuesday with nine points and two rebounds in a 62-52 loss at Allentown College.  For the week, Hughes was 12 of 35 from the floor and 14 of 16 from the free throw line and added 13 rebounds.  Moravian is 1-2 on the season and will host Widener University to open the 2000-01 home season and Commonwealth Conference campaign on Tuesday, November 28th at 7:00 p.m.
