BETHLEHEM, Pa. --- Moravian University is continuing its look back at its 2020-21 athletic campaign. Before we finish the countdown– the Top 10 Stories of the Year selected by the athletic administration – we'll take a look at the three stories that just missed our ranking: the women's lacrosse squad winning the first postseason match in program history, the new Chi Alpha Sigma National Athlete Honor Society induction class and the new bleachers in Johnston Hall.
The Greyhound women's lacrosse squad participated in the Landmark Conference Tournament for the third time in 2021 and in the postseason for the fourth time in program history. Moravian, which finished the year at 6-5 overall, defeated Elizabethtown College, 15-12, in the Landmark Quarterfinals on April 24 under the lights on John Makuvek Field for the first postseason victory in the Hounds' first-ever home playoff match. Sophomore midfielder Emily Hoskin led Moravian with four goals and an assist while sophomore goalie Brelyn Friedman had a team high five saves.

On April 8, Moravian welcomed its fourth induction class into the Chi Alpha Sigma National College Athlete Honor Society in Johnston Hall with 71 Greyhounds earning the honor this spring.

To be eligible for Chi Alpha Sigma, student-athletes must be a junior and/or senior with a 3.4 or higher GPA and have earned a varsity letter.
