Moyer Milestone Veteran field hockey head coach Colleen Moyer (first row, third from left) was presented a cake in honor of her 100th career coaching victory after the Royals defeated Goucher College, 2-1, on Saturday, Oct. 11, in Towson, Maryland. In 10 seasons, Moyer has led the program to 103 victories, including seven postseason tournament appearances, and is now second alltime in wins in Scranton history.
Exclusive Company Senior Alyssa Fania (above) became the fourth player in Royal field hockey history to score more than 100 points in her career, joining Denise Atkinson (125 points, 1982-1983, 1985), Judy Grimaldi (119 points, 1985-1988) and Traci Zarbatany (117 points, 1986-1989). Fania ended her career with 104 points, including a Landmark Conference-leading 44 this past fall. For her efforts, Fania was voted the Landmark Conference Offensive Player of the Year and first-team selection by the league’s head coaches. Joining her as all-conference selections were senior Jessica Pankey, who earned first-team honors for the third straight year; junior Krista Osborne, a firstteam selection; and senior Michelle Lennon, a second-team pick. Fania and Pankey were also named all-regional by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA).

Good Sports Six Royal fall sport student-athletes (pictured above) were selected to the Landmark Conference All-Sportsmanship Team, which recognizes student-athletes who epitomize the ideals of sportsmanship by demonstrating fair play and showing graciousness in victory and respectfulness in defeat. The All-Sportsmanship Team was created by the Landmark Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) in 2013 as a way to highlight student-athletes who exhibit respect for themselves, teammates, coaches, opponents, spectators and the greater campus community. The University congratulates the following Royals on their selection: senior Alyssa Fania of the field hockey team, sophomore Matt Busch of the men’s soccer team, junior Erin Allen of the women’s soccer team, junior Kim Marino of the volleyball team, senior Cara Notarianni of the women’s cross-country team and freshman Schuyler Smith of the men’s cross-country team.
