ALLENTOWN, Pa. --- The Moravian College baseball team has moved from receiving votes to 29th in the nation in this week's American Baseball Coaches Association/Collegiate Baseball NCAA Division III Poll released Tuesday.
The Greyhounds, who are 23-6 on the season, received 31 points in the poll, marking the first time in school history that Moravian is nationally-ranked by the ABCA. This week's poll was voted on before the Hounds defeated Kean (N.J.) University Monday afternoon. Kean is ranked eighth in this week's ABCA poll.
Moravian also owns a pair of wins this season over Heidelberg (Ohio) University, which is ranked ninth, and a victory over Adrian (Mich.) College, which received votes. The Greyhounds still have games scheduled this season with Rowan (N.J.) University, which is ranked 14th, and Alvernia University, which is receiving votes.
