Josiah Moseley - 10 points off bench vs. Leopards Moseley finished with 10 points (5-5 FG) and two rebounds in 17 minutes during Monday's 75-63 victory over Lafayette.
Impact Moseley's role for the Wildacts was up-in-the-air heading into the season, but it appears he could be a key rotator as the season develops. The freshman forward punched in baskets on all of his five two-point attempts, which was enough to get him to 10 points, a promising scoring number which could keep him at a high level of output if he can replicate moving forward.

Impact Poplar scored a rather efficient 20 points on 13 shots, and also logged a double-double by collecting 10 rebounds. Poplar was expected to immediately play a big role for Villanova, and he demonstrated Monday night that he's more than capable of doing so.
