During her career, Moran earned All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West Division honors as a sophomore and junior. She was named to the All-Academic Squad all four years, and served as a team captain her junior and senior season, the latter of which earned a bid to the PSAC tournament for the first time since 1987.
