female athletics director and one of fewer
than 50 women ADs, out of 289, in
NCAA Division II. She previously
served as Associate Athletics Director and
Senior Women’s Administrator.
Her first year as AD proved eventful
across the board as two athletic teams
won Sunshine State Conference titles, six
programs reached the NCAA
Tournament and men’s tennis won its
first national title.
Moraz, a member of the SSC Basketball
Championships Committee since 2005,
also chaired the 2007 SSC Men’s and
Women’s Basketball Championships,
hosted by Lynn University for the first
time in school history. She will also
begin work with the Men’s Tennis South
Regional Advisory Committee starting in
the fall of 2007.
During her time as Associate AD, the
Columbia, Md. native handled a myriad
of duties for the 11-sport Fighting Knight program, including
overseeing budgets, supervising coaches and teams and serving as
co-advisor to Lynn’s very active Student Athlete Athletic Council
(SAAC). She was as a representative on the NCAA Division II
Softball South Region Advisory Committee (2004-06) and served
as a point person for all home events and conference
championships held on the Lynn campus.
Moraz is well aware what Lynn student-athletes go through on a
daily basis as she competed on the hardwood for the Knights from
1993-97. She was a four-year letterwinner for the women’s
basketball team and served as team captain during her senior year.
Moraz was part of the Knights’ 24-5 squad that advanced to the

Administration from Lynn in 1997 and a

Following her playing days, Moraz spent
time in the private sector and as Lynn’s
student activities coordinator from 1998-
2000 before returning as Assistant
Athletic Director in the summer of 2002.
She has also served as a mentor for Lynn’s
freshman transition program, First-Year
Experience.
A 1993 graduate of Hammond High
School in Columbia, she played on the Maryland Class 2A State
