THREE GREYHOUNDS NAMED MORAVIAN STUDENT-ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

BETHLEHEM, PA --- Junior Janelle Brey (Allentown, PA/Dieruff HS) from the softball team, junior Joe Moore (Andover, NJ/Newton HS) of the men’s track & field squad and sophomore Chris Clancy (Kendall Park, NJ/Bishop Ahr HS) from the baseball team have been named the Moravian College Student-Athletes of the Week for their performances last week.

Brey, a third baseman, helped the Greyhounds post a 3-1 record last week with a doubleheader split at Ursinus College and a sweep of rival Muhlenberg College. Brey hit .667 for the week with eight hits in 12 at-bats and she added three doubles, three home runs and 11 RBIs. Brey was three-for-six at Ursinus with three doubles and three RBIs, and she had a sacrifice, which led to the only run in Moravian’s 1-0 victory. Brey went five-for-six against the Mules with eight RBIs and a trio of two-run homers. Brey also drew a pair of walks in the doubleheader. Brey also added five putout and ten assists in 17 chances in the field last week at third base. Moravian is 14-4 on the season and will return to action on Thursday, April 3rd when the team hosts Rowan (NJ) University in a non-conference doubleheader in Bethlehem beginning at 2:30 p.m.
