Cougars Earn Pre-Season Accolades 

Union, N.J. (2/24/10) - The Kean University baseball is ready for the 2010 season if mother nature cooperates and already they have received many accolades during the pre-season.

The Cougars are currently ranked third in the D3baseball.com Pre-Season poll while being ranked sixth in the Collegiate Baseball Pre-Season poll.  Kean advanced to the Division III World Series for the third straight season in 2009 after claiming the national title in their first trip in 2007.

Kean was also selected first in the recent NJAC Coaches Poll.  The Cougars received nine out of ten first-place votes.

After a monster season in 2009, senior Mike Moceri has been selected as a D3baseball.com First-Team Pre-Season All-American.  Moceri earned ABCA/Rawlings and D3baseball.com First-Team All-American honors last season in addition to his first Rawlings Gold Glove.

Kean looks to open up the 2010 season as March approaches.
