ANNVILLE, PA --- Sophomore Krissy Cianfichi (Warrington, PA/Central Bucks East HS) and junior Donna Weiner (East Hanover, NJ/Hanover Park HS) of Moravian College softball team have been named the Commonwealth Conference Softball Player and Pitcher of the Week for their performances last week.

Cianfichi, an outfielder, helped the Greyhounds to a 3-1 week in Commonwealth Conference action last week. Cianfichi led Moravian with a .438 batting average (seven for 16) from the leadoff position in the line-up, and she added two runs and two doubles. Cianfichi also had four putouts and one assist from her right field position. She was four-for-nine in the doubleheader split at Messiah College, and Cianfichi added a three-for-seven performance in a doubleheader sweep of Susquehanna University.

Weiner, a pitcher, tossed a pair of victories and did not allow an earned run last week. Weiner began the week with a five-hit shutout of Messiah. She added two strikeouts in the 8-0 victory. Weiner also allowed just five hits in a 3-1 victory at Susquehanna. She also gave up an unearned run and two walks while striking out four batters.
