The Lancaster, N.Y. product leads the Atlantic 10 and entered the week fourth in the nation with a .429 batting average. Moley has already set the single-season record for hits in a season with 73 while leading the team in nearly every offensive category including runs scored (50), doubles (17), home runs (6), RBI (51), slugging percentage (.635), on-base percentage (.510) and stolen bases.
