Moldoveanu Named Student-Athlete of the Week Presented by GEICO

Men's basketball student-athlete Vlad Moldoveanu has been selected as the American University Student Athlete of the Week presented by GEICO, Department of Athletics officials announced.

Moldoveanu led the Eagles with 19 points and 13 rebounds in Wednesday's overtime loss at Bucknell. This marked the second consecutive game that Moldoveanu earned a double-double. The junior followed up Wednesday's strong performance with 16 points and seven rebounds in AU's 73-63 victory against Colgate on Sunday.

Sunday's victory against Colgate marked the fifth straight game in which Moldoveanu notched at least 15 points. He is averaging 18.1 ppg while shooting 46.7 percent from the field and 42.6 percent from three-point range.

Moldoveanu and the Eagles hit the floor again on Wednesday, January 20 as they travel to West Point, N.Y. to take on conference-opponent Army. Tip time is set for 7:00 p.m.
