The 1993 campaign ended with the Greyhounds reaching the NCAA Division III Playoffs and going 8-3, just one of five 8-plus win seasons in the 91-year history of the program. The only Moravian team to win more than eight games was the 1988 squad that went 10-2 and reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division III playoffs, the only other NCAA playoff team in school history.
