Maxwell Moczulewski - 2000 Inductee

Maxwell Moczulewski was a leader both inside and outside the FSC playing lines during his tenure as a Falcon. The three-year soccer and baseball star also played two years of basketball on Pearl Street. What's more, Moczulewski, who served a three-year tour of duty with the U.S. Fifteenth Air Force during W.W.II, was a four-year member of the Newman Club, as well as being a treasurer and president for his class during his junior and senior years, respectively.

After playing soccer, basketball, and baseball his freshman season, Moczulewski posted two shutout victories as a sophomore goalkeeper for the 3-2 soccer team, prompting the school's yearbook to call him "... perhaps one of the greatest goaltenders ever to perform for the Green and White." Moczulewski also was a member of FSC's 14-5 basketball squad that winter.

During his junior season, Moczulewski captained the 5-3 soccer team, posting a 1-0 shutout for the second straight year against Clark University along the way. Furthermore, Moczulewski was a player-assistant coach on the baseball diamond for FSC.

Finally, Moczulewski, also known as the "Chief," played baseball as a senior for the Falcons.

After finishing his Falcon playing days, Moczulewski enjoyed vast success as a high school basketball coach (183-70 overall record). Eight of his twelve coaching years were spent at Smith Academy, where his 141-31 record was good enough to earn him a state tournament bid every season, two Western Mass. titles, and five Hampshire League titles.
