MORAVIAN'S IAN BOX NAMED COMMONWEALTH CONFERENCE MEN'S TENNIS PLAYER OF THE WEEK

ANNVILLE, PA --- Freshman Ian Box (Charlestown, MA/The Rivers School) of the Moravian College men's tennis team has been named the Commonwealth Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week for his performance last week.

Box, playing first singles and double, posted a 4-2 overall mark in his first three dual matches as Moravian was 2-1 on its spring trip to Florida. Box had a straight sets singles win and teamed with senior Neil Caniga (Hampton, NJ/Voorhees HS) for an 8-2 doubles win as the Greyhounds opened the year with a 7-2 win over Ferrum (VA) College. Box then lost both his singles and doubles match as Moravian was swept by NAIA power Aquinas (MI) College. Box was the closest to winning a match for the Greyhounds in the loss, falling 7-5, 6-2 in his singles match. Box finished the week with a straight sets singles win and another doubles triumph as the Greyhounds edge NCAA Division II Michigan Technological University, 5-4.

Moravian is scheduled to return to action on Wednesday, March 14th in a non-conference game versus rival Muhlenberg College beginning at 3:30 p.m. at Hoffman Courts in Bethlehem.
