            The Greyhounds had their ten-game winning streak snapped in a 78-70 loss at Widener University in Commonwealth Conference action.  The loss was Moravian's first of 2005, and also the team's first in conference play this season.  The Greyhounds took an early 5-2 lead, which would be their largest lead of the evening.  The game went back-and-forth with the Greyhounds gaining another three-point advantage at 17-14 with 13:16 to play in the first half.  The teams would continue to trade the lead in the first half with the Pioneers taking their largest lead of the first 20 minutes at 38-33 with 1:04 to play before the intermission.  Widener led 40-37 at halftime after shooting 16 of 32 (50 percent) from the floor with one three-pointer and seven of 11 at the foul line.  Moravian connected on 15 of 31 first half field goal attempts (48.4 percent) with three three-pointers and making all four of its free throw attempts.  In the second half, Widener would regain its five-point edge early in the half but the Greyhounds fought back to take a 45-44 lead with 15:58 remaining in the game.  The Pioneers jumped right back in front and held the lead for the rest of the game outside of a brief tie at 49-49 with 12:43 remaining.  The Greyhounds cut Widener's lead to 72-70 with 40 seconds left in the contest but the Pioneers scored the final six points for the 78-70 win.  Moravian shot just nine of 26 from the floor (34.6 percent) in the second half with two three-pointers, and the Greyhounds were 13 of 17 at the foul line (76.5 percent).  The Greyhounds, ranked eighth in the nation this week in free throw percentage at 73.8 percent, dropped to 3-3 on the season when shooting over 80 percent in a game.  Moravian shot 81.8 percent (17 of 21) versus Widener.  The Pioneers out shot Moravian in the second half, making 16 of 39 field goal attempts (41.0 percent) and six of nine free throws.  Widener, which had 19 turnovers to Moravian's 23, also out rebounded the Greyhounds, 42-33.  Moravian had three players reach double figures in the game with sophomore forward Kelly Applegate (Easton, PA/Wilson HS) scoring a team high 19 points.  Applegate added seven rebounds while sophomore forward Jenny Hackleman (Solvang, CA/Rutgers Prep {NJ} HS) had 15 points, seven rebounds and three assists.  Senior guard Jen Behagg (Hamburg, NJ/Pope John XXIII HS) netted 13 points to go with four rebounds, four assists and four steals.  Juniors forward Stephanie Seaman (Bethlehem, PA/Bethlehem Catholic HS) and guard Nicole Savino (Macungie, PA/Brandywine Heights HS) had eight points and three rebounds for Moravian.  Junior guard Lindsey Brase (Bethlehem, PA/Notre Dame HS) added three points, three rebounds and two blocked shots while sophomore guard Rachel Berlin (Bethlehem, PA/Freedom HS) had two points, two rebounds and two assists.  Sophomore guard Katie Rizman (Wall, NJ/St. Rose HS) added two points and three assists in the loss.
