SHANNON NAMED TO NSCAA ALL-MID-ATLANTIC REGION TEAM

BETHLEHEM, PA --- Sophomore midfielder Tim Shannon (Leesport, PA/ Schuylkill Valley HS) from the Moravian College men's soccer team has been named to the 2001 National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-Mid-Atlantic Region Second Team.

Moravian finished the 2001 season with a 13-6-2 overall record, the team's best record since the 1995 season.  The Greyhounds earned their second straight Commonwealth Conference Playoff appearance this year, falling to Elizabethtown College for the second straight season in the semifinals, and the squad was given a berth in the 2001 Eastern College Athletic Conference Mid-Atlantic Region Championships.  Moravian was the fourth seed in the six-team ECAC Tournament and made the semifinals with a thrilling 1-0, four-overtime victory over Grove City College in the first round.

Shannon led the Greyhounds in scoring this season with 31 points on 14 goals and three assists.  He was named the Commonwealth Conference Player of the Week once this season when he led the Greyhounds on a torrid streak with eight goals and three assists in a five-match winning streak in the middle of the year.  Shannon, who was named to the Commonwealth Conference All-Star First Team in November, had four of the five game-winning goals during the winning streak.
