Sacred Heart University student-athlete Lisa Moray of Hopewell Junction, NY passed away early Wednesday morning as the result of an auto accident near her home in Dutchess County, NY. Lisa, a senior at Sacred Heart, was a four-year member of the women’s basketball team.

A wake service and calling hours will be held on Thursday and Friday at McHoul Funeral Home in Hopewell Junction with a funeral mass on Saturday morning at St. Columbia Church.

“This was a tragic ending to a very promising life of someone who we cared about a great deal,” said Director of Athletics, Don Cook. “Our sympathies and prayers go out to her family, her parents Donna and Walter, and her sisters, Sherry, Lori and Debi, at this difficult time in their lives.”

Moray ended her four-year Sacred Heart career this past March helping to guide the Pioneers to yet another winning season and what was their ninth-straight appearance in the Northeast Conference Tournament. She ended her career having appeared in 112 games while finishing with 160 career three-point field goals, a mark that leaves her third on the all-time list at Sacred Heart.

As a sophomore during the 2005-06 season, she was a key member of a Pioneer squad that finished with a school record 26 wins and claimed the university’s first-ever Northeast Conference championship and berth in the NCAA Tournament. During her junior campaign, Moray set a new school record for three-point makes in a season burying 69 on the year to lead the Pioneers to their second-straight NEC regular season title. She also went on to lead the NEC in assist to turnover ratio that year, handing out a career-best 106 assists.
