MORAVIAN MEN'S SOCCER SELECTED THIRD IN COACHES POLL

ANNVILLE, PA --- The Moravian College men's soccer team has been picked to finish third in the 2002 Commonwealth Conference Preseason Poll as voted by the conference head coaches.

The Greyhounds received 32 points, just one ahead of fourth place Lebanon Valley College.  Messiah College, which has won five consecutive Commonwealth championships, was selected first and garnered five first-place votes while Elizabethtown College was picked second and had one first place vote. 

Moravian, under the direction of fourth-year head coach Eric Lambinus, returns nine starters and 16 letterwinners from last year's 13-6-2 squad that made the Commonwealth playoffs for the second year in a row and competed in the ECAC Mid-Atlantic Championships.
