CAPE COD, MA --- The Moravian College football team has been awarded a berth in the 2010 Eastern College Athletic Conference Division III Southeast Bowl Championship game on Saturday, November 20th, and the Greyhounds will travel to Wilkes University at Ralston Field in Edwardsville at 12:00 p.m.

Moravian, which is 6-4 on the season, is making its fifth appearance in the ECAC Championships, playing the Southeast game in 2002 and the Southwest game in 2004, 2005 and 2008.  The Greyhounds won the 2005 contest with a 14-7 victory at Frostburg State University.
