MORAVIAN’S ALYSSA BISCI HONORED AS LANDMARK CONFERENCE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE WEEK

MADISON, NJ --- Sophomore forward Alyssa Bisci (Easton, PA/Easton HS) of the Moravian College women’s basketball team has been named the Landmark Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week for her performance last week.

Bisci returned to the line-up after missing four games with an injury to lead the Greyhounds to a 3-0 record last week including a victory at The University of Scranton in the team's inaugural Landmark Conference game. Bisci had a career high 15 points and eight rebounds along with two steals while playing 34 minutes in the 63-61 victory at Scranton, her first game since the season opener. 

Bisci then had her first career double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds in a 57-44 victory at Ursinus College.  Bisci finished off the week with another career high, hitting for 19 points including a 13-for-14 performance in the foul line, in Moravian's 95-90, double-overtime victory over rival Muhlenberg College.

Bisci averaged 15.7 points and 7.3 rebounds for the week while playing 34 minutes per game.  Bisci also shot 23 of 25 at the foul line (92.0 percent) and 12 of 28 from the floor (42.9 percent) while adding three assists and three steals in the week.

Moravian heads to its semester break with a 5-3 record and a four-game winning streak.  The Greyhounds, who are also 1-0 in Landmark Conference action, will return to the court on Wednesday, January 2, 2008 in a non-conference home game versus Wilkes University tipping off at 7:00 p.m. in Johnston Hall.
