The Panthers finished 13-13 overall and 10-8 in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference.
In 2001-02 Moore led the Panthers to a record-breaking season. Pitt-Bradford won the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference title for the initial time with a 102-99 overtime win over Frostburg State. The Panthers then qualified for their first-ever NCAA Division III bid and lost to Bethany College in the first round to finish 23-5, which is the best won-loss percentage (.821) in school history.
The previous year Moore was named AMCC co-Coach of the Year as the Panthers (18-9, 11-1) finished first in the AMCC regular season final standings.

During the 1995-96 and 1996-97 seasons the Panthers ended up 16-10 and 19-8, respectively, and reached the finals of the NAIA Division II-Northeast Regional Tournament.

The Panthers also had nine straight winning seasons from 1993 to 2003.
