BUSCHTA NAMED COMMONWEALTH SOCCER PLAYER OF THE WEEK

ANNVILLE, PA --- Junior midfielder Jackie Buschta (Whitehall, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) of the Moravian College women’s soccer team has been named the Commonwealth Conference Player of the Week for her performance last week.

Buschta, the second straight Moravian player to win the award after junior Justina Bria (Warminster, PA/William Tennent HS) was honored last week, scored a pair of goals to lead Moravian to a 2-1 victory over Drew University in the Greyhounds only match last week. Both of Buschta’s goals came in the first half in a span of five minutes to build a 2-0 lead. Buschta leads Moravian in scoring this season with six goals and three assists for 15 points after missing her entire sophomore year with a knee injury. She led the team in scoring as a freshman.

The Greyhounds, who are 9-3-1 on the season, had their other match scheduled for last week postponed until Tuesday, October 15th when they will travel to Elizabethtown College for a 4:00 p.m. match.
