MORAVIAN WOMEN’S SOCCER JUMPS TO 4TH IN NSCAA MID-ATLANTIC
REGION POLL; RECEIVES VOTES IN TOP 25 POLL
MISSION, KS --- The Moravian College women’s soccer team has received its highest
ranking ever, jumping to fourth in the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America
Mid-Atlantic Regional poll released Tuesday afternoon. The Greyhounds also received votes
in the NSCAA/adidas Top 25 poll and are just one spot out of being ranked nationally.
The Greyhounds, who are 11-3 on the season, were not ranked in last week’s regional
poll due to a paperwork error. Moravian was ranked sixth in the region the three previous
weeks after debuting in the fifth spot in the second poll of the year, which had been Moravian’s
highest-ever regional ranking. The Greyhounds have never been ranked nationally, however,
they are the 26th team this week, just a spot from being in the top 25. The complete national
poll can be found at www.nscaa.com.
Messiah College sits atop the region and the nation with a 12-0 record, and the Falcons
are followed by The College of New Jersey (13-0), Rowan (NJ) University (12-1) and the
Greyhounds. Rounding out the top ten after Moravian are Haverford College (11-2-1), Johns
Hopkins University (12-2-1), the University of Mary Washington (10-3), College Misericordia
(12-2), Dickinson College (9-1-3), Catholic University (13-0-1) and Wilkes University (11-2).
The Greyhounds defeated Mary Washington, 2-0, on September 11th and lost to Wilkes University,
1-0, on September 17th, Haverford College 1-0, on October 5th and Messiah College, 3-1,
last Saturday.
The Greyhounds are scheduled to play at Montclair State University of New Jersey on Tuesday,
October 18th at 7:00 p.m.
