Gawrys honored
The Moravian University softball team has had ten student-athletes selected to the 2025 Landmark All-Conference Teams with Head Coach Josh Baltz and his assistants selected as the Coaching Staff of the Year, senior shortstop Holly Walter (Southern Lehigh) honored as the Landmark Conference Player of the Year and junior pitcher/outfielder Sarah DeStefano (Ringoes, N.J.) named as the Landmark Conference Pitcher of the Year.
Eight of the ten Hounds to garner All-Conference accolades were named to the First Team including Walter, DeStefano, senior first baseman Lindsey Gawrys (Whitehall), graduate student second baseman Ajala Elmore (Wilmington, Del.), senior outfielder Sage Snyder (Columbia, N.J.), junior catcher Marcie Silberman (Salisbury), junior third baseman Sydney Andrews (Quakertown) and sophomore utility player Kyra Holtje (Columbia, Md.). Senior outfielder Jessica Forder (Phillipsburg) and sophomore outfielder Shayla Morgan (Emmaus) were selected to the All-Conference Second Team.
“What an unbelievable accomplishment—to have 10 players named to the All-Conference teams, with eight earning First Team honors and two on the Second Team,” commented Baltz. “It’s a true testament to the talent, hard work, and dedication of this team. When every member shares the same number one goal, great things can happen. This group has redefined what it means to work hard, and they’re being rightfully rewarded for it. We’re proud of every player honored and excited for what’s ahead in postseason softball.”
