Morrow was a three-time First Team Doubles selection for the Greyhounds and was a special selection to the All-Decade Team since he earned First Team All-Conference honors with three different partners. He posted a career record of 39-24 and had a conference record of 19-6.
Tuorto and Wylie were a First Team selection in 2015 and 2016. The duo posted a 34-11 career record and a 13-3 record in the conference. For their careers, Tuorto and Wylie won 56 doubles matches and had 22 wins in the conference.
"In viewing the conference over the last ten years, as a coach I have the utmost respect for any player who receives this recognition," stated Head Coach Alan Heverly. "I was fortunate enough to be an assistant coach when Ian played at Moravian, and to have coached Matt and John as seniors. All are great athletes. The level of play demonstrated by all the conference players named is something for which both Moravian and the Landmark Conference can be exceedingly proud."
