THREE GREYHOUNDS NAMED TO COMMONWEALTH ALL-CONFERENCE TENNIS TEAMS

ANNVILLE, PA --- Junior Jason Toedter (Easton, PA/Easton HS) and senior David Kurvink (Bethlehem, PA/Liberty HS) of the Moravian College men’s tennis team have been named to the 2003 All-Commonwealth Conference First Team while senior Todd Edwards (Conyngham, PA/Hazleton HS) earned a spot on the All-Conference Second Team announced Monday.

Toedter was honored for the third straight year, and he has been on the First Team all three seasons. Toedter, a former Commonwealth Rookie of the Year, posted a 15-2 singles record for the Greyhounds this season as their number one player. Toedter was seeded first in the 2003 Middle Atlantic Conference Individual Championships and reached the quarterfinals before being knocked out. Toedter has a career record of 37-14 at Moravian.

Kurvink was also honored on the First Team for the third time in his career. He was on the All-Conference First Team as a freshman and sophomore. Kurvink posted a 15-2 singles record this season as Moravian’s number two singles player, and he finished his career with a 50-17-1 record, becoming the first player in Moravian history to earn 50 singles wins. Kurvink, who was seeded sixth in the 2003 MAC Individual Championships and reached the quarterfinals, was also 10-4 at second doubles this season with three different players.

Edwards was honored by the conference for the first time in his career. Edwards posted a 10-5 singles mark this spring from the third position in the line-up, and he finished his career with a 31-25 slate. Edwards and Toedter combined for an 8-6 record as Moravian’s top doubles team this season.

Moravian completed the 2003 season with an overall record of 7-8, and the Greyhounds were 5-2 in the Commonwealth. The squad missed its third straight postseason berth by one match.
