PHILADELPHIA (05/21/02) - Saint Joseph's University women's basketball standout Susan Moran, who signed a free agent contract with the WNBA's New York Liberty, has made the team's final roster for the upcoming 2002 season. Moran, who will likely open the year on the squad's injured reserve list, is slated to make her regular season professional debut in the Liberty's home opener against the Miami Sol on Sunday, June 2 at Madison Square Garden. The game, which tips-off at noon, will be broadcast nationally on NBC. Moran becomes the third former SJU player to compete in the WNBA, joining former Hawks Debbie Black '88 (Utah Starzz - 1999, Miami Sol - 2000 to present) and Megan Compain '97 (Utah Starzz - 1997). The Tullamore, Ireland native beat out several players, including a pair of the team's third and fourth round draft picks (Tracey Gahan - Iowa State and Dee Dee Warley-Maryland), for a spot on the roster. A senior forward, Moran was named the Atlantic 10 Conference Player of the Year, as well as a third team Academic All-American. In addition, the honorable mention All-American (AP/WBCA) was a finalist for the inaugural Senior CLASS (National Senior Player of the Year) Award. The all-time leading scorer in SJU basketball history (2,340 points), she is the only player in school history to lead her team in both scoring and rebounding in four straight seasons. This season she ranked among the national leaders and led both the A-10 and Philadelphia Big Five circuits by averaging 23.3 points per game. A starter in all 122 games of her career, earlier this season she set an Atlantic 10 record by being named the Conference's player of the week eight times. She was also named to the A-10 All-Conference first team for the second straight season and the league's all-Academic squad for the third year in a row.
