Moley Earns All-American in Wrestling

ST. LOUIS, MO-- Bloomsburg University wrestler Matt Moley (Phoenixville/Spring Ford) earned All-American honors for the first time in his career after finishing eighth in his weight class at the 2008 NCAA Division I wrestling championships.

Moley's All-American award makes it two consecutive years that a member of the Huskies (Mike Spaid last year) has earned the coveted honor. It also marks the first time the Huskies have had All-Americans in back-to-back years since a run of five straight years from 1985 to 1989.

In the consolation quarterfinals, Moley lost by fall to Indiana University in a time of 1:35. Moving to the consolation seventh place match, Moley lost to Cyler Sanderson of Iowa State by a score of 7-5.

Moley finished the season with a mark of 33-11.
