Goldey-Beacom’s Joe Kissel Inducted into the Delaware Tennis Hall of Fame


The work of Joe Kissel not just as the head women’s tennis coach at Goldey-Beacom College, but his accomplishments throughout the state helped him Sunday gain induction into the United States Tennis Association Delaware Hall of Fame.


Kissel arrived in Pike Creek to a second-year program still looking for its first win. What he turned it into is a juggernaut that won the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference title both in 2016 and 2017 as well as a squad which has competed in the NCAA Tournament seven times.


He is responsible for all of the program’s 140 wins during his 13 seasons and led the team to finish the 2014-15 season 31st in the country as well as the 2017-18 squad ending 32nd. Goldey-Beacom also has won three CACC regular-season crowns in his time.


The Lightning also entered the 2018-19 season with 10 straight winning campaigns dating to 2008-09 and double-digit victories in eight of the last 10 seasons.


Kissel in 2009 was honored as the USTA Middle States Delaware District Community Tennis Coach of the Year for his work in only four years. He also was honored by the USTA in 2015 and 2016 as the organization’s Delaware District College Coach of the Year and in 2017 as the USTA Middle States College of the Year.


He has been recognized by USPTA Middle States tennis teaching professionals, having been named the 2007 USPTA Middle States High School Coach of the Year at Archmere Academy. He also was picked the 2017 USPTA Middle States College Coach of the Year with GBC.


At the conclusion of the 2017-18 collegiate season, the Intercollegiate Tennis Association named Kissel the East Region College Coach of the Year. He also has been selected by conference coaches the CACC Coach of the Year four times.


The 2014-15 team will go down in Goldey-Beacom lore as one of the most significant in the College’s history in any sport. That team upended fellow CACC-foe Chestnut Hill to become the first squad in school history in any sport to win a head-to-head NCAA Tournament contest, won a program-record 18 matches, tied the school record with 10 shutouts and had four student-athletes regionally ranked at season’s end.


Goldey-Beacom’s accomplishments under Kissel extend beyond championships. He and the team on multiple occasions have participated in Tennithon to benefit the Delaware Tennis Foundation and just this fall the squad volunteered as ball people for the Delaware Wheelchair Tennis Championships.


Founded in 1886, the College offers graduate and undergraduate degrees with majors in psychology, economics, criminal justice, English and all areas of business. With alumni from 26 states and 66 nations, Goldey-Beacom College is located in Pike Creek Valley, a suburb of Wilmington, Delaware. The College is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and the Accreditation Council of Business Schools and Programs.

The student-athletes helped raise money to purchase custom-made bicycles for physically and developmentally impaired children. The Lightning's soccer teams also played a big part in helping assist with arts and crafts stations, touch football, soccer, fitness competitions, food trucks and many other activities.


Other activities from last year include student-athletes volunteering at the Hockessin Athletic Club for those with special needs, the cross country squads collecting shoes for Soles4Souls, the women’s basketball team assisting kids at a local elementary school, the softball team helping with Toys for Tots and the men’s golf team assisting with The First Tee of Delaware.


The department in January 2016 was one of 25 finalists for the NCAA Division II Award of Excellence following its October 30, 2015 Halloween 5K Costume Run and Fun Walk that raised money for the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition.

Goldey-Beacom Women’s Soccer Dealt Crushing 2-1 Loss by Holy Family in the CACC Semifinals


Goldey-Beacom gave a valiant effort on both sides of the field, but was handed a tough 2-1 loss by Holy Family in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference semifinals in Waterbury, CT.


GBC (15-5, 11-1 CACC) so far has enjoyed a remarkable campaign in which it broke the school record for most wins, most conference victories, most home wins with nine and a team-record 63 goals. The Lightning won their first six games both overall and in the conference for the best starts in team annals and recorded their third straight season of double-digit wins for the first time in program history.


This season also marked the first time Goldey-Beacom played in the CACC semifinals in consecutive years. Monday’s 4-0 quarterfinal triumph over Nyack also marked the first time in program history it had won a conference tournament game in consecutive years.


The Lightning had three players named first team all-conference with sophomore Kelly Mejia (State College, PA) tabbed the league’s Defensive Player of the Year, four picked second team and Dan Frick named coach of the year for the second time in three seasons.


GBC, which has 39 victories over its last three seasons that is a school record for that period, now will wait to see if it gains an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament. The selection show is Monday at 6:30 pm on NCAA.com.


Second-seeded Goldey-Beacom in the first half had solid chances, but early on could not convert. Sophomore Alanna Speaks (Dover, DE/St. Elizabeth’s), named first team all-league a second straight year, had a shot in close that rang off the left pipe. Sophomore Taylor Owen (Pittsburgh, PA) lofted a long shot ticketed for just under the cross bar, but goalkeeper Brianna Pudlo made a phenomenal leaping save.


Third-seeded Holy Family did strike pay dirt in the 17th minute. Bree Rock won a ball on the left side just outside the box and fed one in to Jacqueline Ziegler, who buried one for her eighth goal of the campaign.


Senior Marta Lopez (Valencia, Spain) in the 33rd minute made a great play to keep the score at 1-0. Rock was presented a golden opportunity on the left side, but her shot was stopped by Lopez on a great diving save.


The Lightning’s persistence finally was rewarded with a goal in the 41st minute. Line Kristoffersen (Bergen, Norway) came in as a substitute and her first touch resulted in a great pass to fellow junior Jenna Fannon (Newark, DE), who put one inside the right post for her 14th goal of the year and a 1-1 tie.


The 14 goals are tied with Speaks for the team lead and both are one off of the program’s single-season record.


However, the Tigers responded in the 43rd minute. A GBC misplay resulted in Jess Elliott winning the ball near the edge of the box and getting a pass to Rock, who buried it for a 2-1 contest and her 19th goal of the year.


The second half was an offensive struggle with the Lightning looking to find holes in the defense, but there were none as the Tigers stepped it up to deny any quality chances.


Fannon closed with six shots for the Lightning, who ended with a 12-11 edge. Lopez made six saves, marking the fourth time this season she has reached at least that total.

The outstanding runs this season for both Goldey-Beacom senior Cliona Crammond (Wicklow, Ireland) and freshman Jackie Ayers (Rising Sun, MD/Rising Sun) continued into the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament with both being named to the Women’s Soccer All-Tournament Team.


Crammond, named all-tournament a second straight year, had a goal and an assist last Monday in Goldey-Beacom’s 4-0 quarterfinal win against Nyack. This carried into the semifinals Friday against Holy Family as her impeccable passing skills set up many opportunities against the eventual runner-up.


Ayers also had a standout season at midfield, helping generate strong play on both sides of the field that helped in the squad’s record-breaking season. Her tenacity and strong-willed competitiveness played a huge part in last Monday’s shutout, the first clean sheet for GBC in a conference tournament game since 2005, and kept the team close in Friday’s semifinal.


Goldey-Beacom (15-5, 11-1 CACC) has enjoyed a remarkable campaign in which it broke the school record for most wins, most conference victories, most home wins with nine and a team-record 63 goals.

The Lightning had three players named first team all-conference with sophomore Kelly Mejia (State College, PA) tabbed the league's Defensive Player of the Year, four picked second team and Dan Frick named coach of the year for the second time in three seasons.


GBC also has 39 victories over its last three seasons that is a school record for that period.


Founded in 1886, the College offers graduate and undergraduate degrees with majors in psychology, economics, criminal justice, English and all areas of business. With alumni from 13 states and 60 nations, Goldey-Beacom College is located in Pike Creek Valley, a suburb of Wilmington, Delaware.

Goldey-Beacom’s Lindsay Przywara Named to CACC Volleyball Weekly Honor Roll
