A two-time all-region selection that scored as many goals as the team allowed while he was on the field this spring, senior men's soccer playerÂ
Jared Moses (Baltimore, Md./McDonogh School) was named the Lycoming College Most Outstanding Male Athlete, earning the honor along with senior men's basketball playerÂ
Darius Dangerfield (Abingdon, Md./Harford Tech).
Â
Moses is the fourth men's soccer player to earn the Most Outstanding Male Athlete Award, joining 2018 winner Sinclair Tueno, 1994 winner Pat Doody and 1963 winner Gerdi Kelsey.
Moses' position on the men's soccer team is one that doesn't necessarily draw attention to itself. When a defensive midfielder has the ball, he is supposed to calm play and set up the offense by getting the ball downfield and at the feet of other midfielders.
In his first three years, he had four assists and took just 32 shots. His value, though, in making plays to get balls from defenders, dribbling through defenders and making crisp passes, was enormous.
It wasn't a surprise at the end of his sophomore year that he was named First Team All-MAC Freedom and Second Team All-Region while leading the team to an at-large berth in the NCAA Division III Championship. He repeated those honors the next year.
In 2020-21, the men's soccer team didn't have an official season, just four exhibition games. In those games, though, it was again evident that Moses had become one of the best Division III players in the country.
He scored his first career goal, the first of Lycoming's season, in a 3-1 win over Wilkes. In the team's four games, opponents scored one goal while he was on the turf.
Throughout his career, he was a part of 35 shutouts in 67 games. He helped Lycoming to the 2017 MAC Commonwealth Championship and he appeared in two NCAA Division III Championships. The Warriors also advanced to a conference final all three years they could.
Moses is headed to Derby University to complete and MBA and he will play in England's first-tier of semi-pro leagues while there for coach John McCarthy.
