Sabillasville Student Named United East Scholar Athlete

Abby Moreland of Sabillasville has been recognized for her success both in the classroom and on the court at Wilson College.

Moreland, a member of the Wilson College women’s volleyball team, was recently named a United East Scholar Athlete by the United East Conference for the Fall 2025 season. She is among 57 student-athletes from Wilson College to receive the academic honor.

The United East Scholar Athlete recognition highlights student-athletes who excel academically while competing in collegiate athletics. To earn the distinction, athletes must maintain a grade point average of at least 3.2 during the fall semester while remaining in good standing with their team.

Moreland was one of the honorees representing six fall sports across the 15 institutions in the Division III United East Conference. The sports represented include women’s and men’s soccer, field hockey, women’s volleyball, and women’s and men’s cross country.

Wilson College ranked fifth among the conference’s 15 schools in the number of scholar-athletes recognized this fall, despite sponsoring only four fall sports. The top three institutions each had six fall sports represented, while another had five.

The 57 honorees also mark the fourth time in the past five years that Wilson College has had at least 57 student-athletes earn the conference’s scholar-athlete distinction. The number first set a school record in 2022.

Wilson College officials congratulated Moreland on the accomplishment, recognizing her commitment to balancing academic success with athletic competition.

Founded in 1869 and located in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, Wilson College is a private coeducational liberal arts college offering undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs.
