SUBJECT (BASEBALL): Blue Hens Drop Extra-Innings Affair at Saint Joseph's



Date: May 2nd, 2017.


MERION STATION, Pa. -- The University of Delaware baseball squad dropped a 7-6 11-inning decision at Saint Joseph's Tuesday afternoon.



The Blue Hens allowed a game-tying solo home run in the seventh, forcing the game into extra innings. In the top of the 10th inning, the Blue Hens scored a pair of runs off a Nick Patten single and a Calvin Scott single.



In the bottom half of the 10th, the Blue Hens allowed a game-tying two run home run to extend the game. After a scoreless top of the 11th, the Hawks walked-off winners on a sacrifice fly.



“This afternoon's result is extremely disappointing,” head coach Jim Sherman said. “We weren't as aggressive as we have been, or as we needed to be. Again we received really solid efforts from our pitching staff, but our approach wasn't up to par. Going into this weekend we really need to focus on our at-bats, before we close up CAA play at home.”



In the loss, Scott hit his first home run of the season, a three-run shot in the fourth. The Newark native went 2-4 with four RBI and a run scored. Patten went 3-5 on the day, scoring twice.



The Blue Hens enjoyed a 4-1 lead heading to the bottom of the fifth, but singular runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh tied the game. In the 10th Peter Sitaras hit a two-run shot off reliever Burk FitzPatrick to tie the game.



In the bottom half of the 11th, the Hawks leadoff hitter singled to open the inning. After an error, the Hawks had runners on first and second.



Following a pop-out, Blue Hens reliever Cole Benjamin hit a batter, loading the bases. The very next batter, Pinch hitter Kadar Namey, lifted a game-winning walk-off sacrifice fly to right that gave the home team the victory.



The Blue Hens conclude non-conference play and their road slate this weekend at NC State.

SUBJECT: Delaware's Pilkington Garners CAA Tennis Rookie of the Year Award; Travis Named Coach of the Year
DATE: May 2, 2017

Sophomore Sara Komer (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) was named to the Singles Second Team while graduate student Denny LaMachia (Hopkinton, Mass./Hopkinton) and junior Amanda Studnicki (Normal, Ill./Normal West) earned Doubles Second Team accolades.
Pilkington, the program's first-ever conference Rookie of the Year, compiled 24 singles victories this season, which was tied-for the second-most ever by a Delaware freshman and fourth-most for any Blue Hens player.

Komer wrapped her second season in a Blue Hens uniform as a Second Team honoree by posting a dual match singles record of 17-2, which included a 13-match win streak.
LaMachia and Studnicki, the team's co-captains, led the way in top-flight doubles action with a 14-10 record, including a 6-3 mark in CAA play.

SUBJECT: Kendall Small’s Two Home Runs Not Enough as #13 West Chester Takes 9-5 Victory over Wilmington Baseball

DATE: May 2, 2017
djl

NEW CASTLE, Del. - - Thirteenth ranked West Chester took advantage of the Wilmington University baseball team’s miscues, scoring late to pull away for a 9-5 victory on Tuesday afternoon at Wilson Field.

Despite two home runs from sophomore first baseman Kendall Small (Dover, Del./Dover), the Wildcats (27-18) committed three errors and allowed the Golden Rams (31-7) to tie the game twice in the early going with unearned runs. The visitors then scored multiple runs in the fifth, seventh, and eighth innings to pull away late.

Small started the scoring with a solo homer to right on the first pitch he saw in the bottom of the second, blasting his third homer of the season for the 1-0 lead. But the Golden Rams were able to tie the game in the top of the third on a dropped fly ball with two outs in the inning.

Frank Nigro hit a one-out double in the bottom of the third, but looked to be caught off the bag on pick-off attempt on the next pitch. But the throw from the catcher sailed into the outfield, and Nigro hustled around third and slid home ahead of the throw for the 2-1 lead. But the lead didn’t last long once again, as the Golden Rams took advantage of another error in the outfield that allowed the batter to take third after a double. A two-out single would score the unearned run, 2-2.

The Golden Rams took the lead for good in the top of the fifth, putting the first four batters of the inning aboard. An RBI single brought in the go-ahead run with runners on first and second before a bases loaded hit-by-pitch made it 4-2.

Julian Kurych cut into the deficit with a sacrifice fly in the sixth, but the Golden Rams pulled away with three more runs in the top of the seventh. Three straight hits loaded the bases before a fielder’s choice, a balk, and a two-out double down the left field line put the visitors ahead, 7-3. A two-run homer in the top of the eighth from Joe Sheeran pushed the West Chester lead out to 9-3.

Small wasn’t done at the plate for the Wildcats however, as he again took the first pitch he saw in the bottom of the eighth and deposited it over the fence in right center for a two-run blast.

The two-homer game was the first for the Wildcats since teammate Mike Annone homered twice at Bloomfield on April 12, 2014. It is only the fifth two-homer game for the Wildcats since the 2010 season. Matt Umba and Mike Godwin each had a two-homer game in 2010 before Joe Harbach and Adam Soley each had a two-homer game in 2012.

Dan Hyatt went 3-for-5 with a double at the plate and pitched a scoreless ninth inning with two strikeouts. Small went 3-for-4 with three RBI and two runs scored.

The 2017 regular season comes to a close on Wednesday for the Wildcats, as they welcome Felician to Wilson Field for a nonconference doubleheader. The first pitch is slated for 1:00 p.m.

Goldey-Beacom Women’s Tennis Battles to the End in 5-2 NCAA Tournament Loss at No. 44 Queens (NY)


Goldey-Beacom gave 44th-ranked Queens (NY) a battle only the former could have anticipated, but left the second-round NCAA Tournament tie with a tough 5-2 loss in Flushing, NY.


GBC (14-4) was appearing in the NCAA Tournament for the sixth time in team history after winning its first Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference title. It was the Lightning’s second trip to the second round in the last three years after posting a 5-3 first-round triumph in 2015 over Chestnut Hill.


Goldey-Beacom entered ranked third in the region and was coming off Monday’s 5-1 first-round triumph over sixth-seeded Southern New Hampshire. Queens (14-3) was the number two seed and advances to the “Sweet 16” in Florida.


More than a few eyebrows were raised during the doubles portion. Seniors Nina Sengl (Puchheim, Germany) and Francesca Beg (Westbury, England), ranked 10th in the East, broke the ice for the Lightning with an 8-6 win at first doubles.


The 14th doubles victory of the season for each puts them tied for fourth in school history. Sengl ends her career with 47 doubles wins, good for sole possession of fourth place.


With the tie level 1-1, freshmen Alma Garcia Valle (Valladolid, Spain) and Silvia Hortelano Pey (Castelldefels, Spain) at third doubles rallied from a 4-1 deficit to record an 8-6 triumph and give GBC a 2-1 cushion.


The singles portion had many wondering what the ultimate outcome would be. The Lightning took the first set in the number four, five and six matches with those three plus No. 1 singles all requiring a third set.


But in the end, the Knights won all four completed matches in singles.


The loss ends the outstanding careers for Sengl and Beg. Sengl graduates tied for second in school history with 48 singles wins and her 17 this season is tied for second in team annals. Beg’s 26 career doubles wins is good for seventh in team history.

SUBJECT: Middle Atlantic Conference Selects Legendary Delaware Coach Tubby Raymond for Induction into MAC Hall of Fame
DATE:  May 3, 2017
ANNVILLE, Pa. -- Legendary University of Delaware football and baseball coach Harold R. “Tubby” Raymond has earned induction into yet another Hall of Fame.

Raymond, 91, who spent 36 years on the sidelines as head football coach and nine more as head baseball coach for the Blue Hens, was among 19 men and women selected as part of the Middle Atlantic Conference Hall of Fame Class of 2017 announced Wednesday. This year’s class is the sixth selected.

“We are delighted to announce the 2017 MAC Hall of Fame,” said MAC Executive Director Ken Andrews. “This is an exceptional group that represents the best of the Middle Atlantic Conference. It is an honor to recognize these contributors to the MAC legacy.”

Delaware was a member of the MAC for football from 1958 until 1969 and was affiliated in baseball from 1946 until 1974. Raymond is the second Blue Hen selected to the Hall of Fame, joining former UD Director of Athletics and head football coach David Nelson, who was honored posthumously last year.

The MAC honor represents the fifth Hall of Fame that Raymond has gained induction to, including the College Football Hall of Fame (2003), University of Delaware Athletics Hall of Fame (2002), the Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame (1993), and the Greater Flint (Mich.) Area Sports Hall of Fame.

The MAC holds no formal induction ceremony, but Raymond will be honored at a home Delaware football game this coming fall.

A native of Flint, Mich., Raymond played both football and baseball at the University of Michigan before earning his degree in 1950 and spending a year in the minor leagues with the New York Yankees organization and one year as an assistant coach at the University of Maine.

He joined the Delaware football staff as backfield coach in 1954 and served until 1965 when he succeeded Nelson as head coach of the Blue Hens. During his legendary career, Raymond won 300 games, was named National Coach of the Year four times, led Delaware to three national championships, 14 Lambert Cup trophies, 16 NCAA playoff appearances, and nine conference titles, including MAC championships in 1966, 1968, and 1969.

As Delaware’s head coach for baseball in 1956-65, he led Blue Hen teams to a record of 142-55-3 (.710 winning pct.) and captured MAC titles in 1956, 1958, 1960, 1961, and 1964. He also led the Blue Hens to three NCAA Tournament appearances in 1956, 1960, and 1961.

Joining Raymond in the MAC Hall of Fame 2017 induction class are: Leo Disend, Albright College; Royce Eyer, Lycoming College; Aftan Fisher, Messiah College; Don Johnson, Lebanon Valley College; Irv Johnson, University of Scranton; Adam Knoblauch, Delaware Valley University; Ned McGinley, King’s College; Brian O’Keefe, Fairleigh Dickinson University-Florham Campus; Heidi Wolfsberger Peoples, Moravian College; Emilie Heck Petrone, Haverford College; Joanne Polakoski, King’s College; Kevin Quinn, Saint Joseph’s University; Christina Scherwin, Moravian College; Deborah Smuda Williams, Widener University; Randy Sturm, DeSales University; John Wagner, Rider University; James Ward, Gettysburg College; and Hayden Woodworth, Messiah College.

BJECT: Wilmington Softball Eliminated from CACC Tournament With Losses to Goldey-Beacom, 2-0, and Post, 9-1

DATE: May 4, 2017
djl

LAKEWOOD, N.J. - - Runs were hard to come by for the Wilmington University softball team as they were eliminated from the 2017 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament with losses to fifth seeded Goldey-Beacom, 2-0, and eighth seeded Post, 9-1 (6 inn.), on Thursday afternoon on the campus of Georgian Court University.

With the losses, the Wildcats’ (34-19) fate rests in the hands of the NCAA Division II East Region selection committee to see if they will advance to their fourth straight NCAA Division II East Regional Tournament. The NCAA Selection Show is scheduled for Monday morning at 10:00 a.m. on NCAA.com.

Despite the losses, freshman Rosa’Lynn Burton set another single season program record, going 2-for-3 in the elimination game for her 84th hit of the season. She broke Brook Ash’s mark of 83 hits during the 2013 season. Ash was also a freshman when she set the mark.

The opening game against the fifth seeded Lightning came down to two-out hits, and it was Goldey-Beacom that came up with a pair of two-out RBI while the Wildcats did not.

The Wildcats had an opportunity in the bottom of the first inning, but Jazmeen Llamas was thrown out at the plate attempting to score on a two-out base knock by Kaitlyn Slater.

The Lightning capitalized in the top of the second inning, scoring on a two-out double to left for the 1-0 lead. Colby Wyatt started the bottom of the second with a leadoff double, but the runner was left stranded on second as the inning ended.

A leadoff single in the top of the fourth resulted in another two-out double to left field for the Lightning, as the visitors took a 2-0 lead. Wyatt was once again stranded on second as the fourth inning came to a close and Llamas’ one-out double in the sixth went for naught, as she was left stranded standing on second as well.

Mirabella Klebart walked with one out to give the Wildcats’ life in their final at-bat, but Shelby Murphy robbed Emily Luna of extra bases with a nice leaping catch in the gap for the second out. A fly ball to right ended the threat and the game for the Wildcats.

Post jumped all over the Wildcats in the elimination game, as the Eagles put up a four spot in the top of the second and three more runs in the top of the fifth. Five hits in the top of the second, coupled by a pair of Wilmington errors, allowed the Eagles to score four times and swing the momentum into their favor. A two-run blast and another error-caused run pushed the Eagles lead to 7-0 in the top of the fifth.

Pinch hitter Lexi Baughman put the Wildcats on the board in the bottom of the fifth, blasting her first career home run on a line to left. But the Eagles answered with another two-run blast in the top of the sixth to set the eight-run mercy rule into effect. The Wildcats went in order in the bottom of the sixth and were eliminated from the Tournament.

Llamas and Wyatt collected two hits each in the opener while Burton went 2-for-3 in the nightcap.

DATE: May 5, 2017
RALEIGH, N.C. -- The University of Delaware dropped its baseball series opener at North Carolina State Friday night by a 7-1 score. The Hens managed just one run and seven hits in the defeat.

SUBJECT: Delaware Women's Lacrosse Drops OT Heartbreaker to JMU in CAA Semifinals
DATE: May 5, 2017
TOWSON, Md. – Delaware looked to upset James Madison for the second time in less than two weeks, but the #20/19 Dukes pulled out the 11-10 CAA semifinals victory in overtime Friday evening at Towson's Johnny Unitas® Stadium.
Down by four with less than 11 minutes remaining in regulation, the #rv/-- Blue Hens posted four straight goals to force overtime against top-seeded JMU.
With 2:07 left on the clock, junior Becky Gohsler (Mendham, N.J./West Morris Mendham) recorded her second goal of the game and 36th goal of the season to keep Delaware's hopes alive. She added a team-best five draw controls to go along with three caused turnovers and three ground balls.
CAA Player of the Year Haley Warden scored the golden goal, her lone of the game, just a minute into OT. The Dukes advance to Sunday's championship final for the fourth straight season.
Sophomore Caroline Farley (Medford, N.J./Shawnee) led the offensive attack with her first career hat trick, including two tallies of the team's final four goals of the game.
Senior Jamie Schwartz (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Hebron) contributed three points on two assists and a goal while junior Megan Santoleri (Berwyn, Pa./Archbishop Carroll) registered two goals of her own.
Junior goalie Taylor Carpentier (Garden City, N.Y./Garden City) collected another huge game with 12 saves, including eight in the first half.
POST-GAME QUOTES
Head Coach Kateri Linville
“Some pre-game jitters and a lack of focus resulted in a slow start in the first half, but we found a way to step up our game. Taylor played absolutely out of her mind. I couldn't be more proud of this team for battling back and putting us in the position to play to win in a situation against a quality opponent. No doubt it's disappointing to come up short, but I think the sentiment in the locker room is that this team cares a lot about each other. They have a lot of passion for the game and for wearing the University of Delaware uniform. I couldn't be more proud of how they poured their hearts out in this game.”
HEN SCRATCHINGS
· The Hens were previously 8-0 this season when scoring at least 10 goals.
· Delaware is now 3-10 all-time in the CAA Tournament.
· Jamie Schwartz wraps her career with 133 points (72g, 61a), a mark good for 25th all-time. Her 61 assists place her 11th in program history.

SUBJECT: University of Delaware Tennis, Cross Country Teams Honored by NCAA for Academic Success
DATE: May 5, 2017

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- For the second straight year, the University of Delaware women's tennis and women's cross country programs have been honored by the NCAA for the outstanding academic success of their student-athletes.

The NCAA today recognized more than 1,200 Division I teams for outstanding academic achievements. Based on their most recent multiyear Academic Progress Rates, these teams have earned NCAA Public Recognition Awards for posting scores in the top 10 percent of their sport.

The APR is an annual scorecard of academic achievement calculated for all Division I sports teams. This year, 1,203 teams are being recognized for academic performance: 746 women's teams and 457 men's teams or coed teams. The total number of teams being recognized increased by 132 from a year ago, largely as a result of an increase in perfect scores. Scores for programs in the top 10 percent ranged from 984 to a perfect 1,000, with 1,090 teams earning a perfect score.

“NCAA student-athletes and schools continue to achieve unprecedented levels of academic success,” said Mark Emmert, NCAA president. “We commend these programs for their commitment to academic excellence and dedication to preparing student athletes for life after college.”

A total of 306 schools had teams recognized with Public Recognition Awards. Delaware's two programs were among 39 Colonial Athletic Association teams in 15 different sports that were recognized Wednesday as recipients of the NCAA Public Recognition Award, which is based on their most recent multi-year Academic Progress Rate.

The awards are presented each year to teams with APRs in the top 10 percent of each sport. This year's awards are compiled using the academic and retention rates for the 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 academic years.

Delaware women's tennis, led by head coach Laura Travis, is one of only 93 teams in the entire NCAA - and the only team in the Colonial Athletic Association - that have been honored by the NCAA each of the 12 years since the program began in 2004-05. The Blue Hens are among only nine women's tennis programs that have been honored every year, joining Arizona State, Bucknell, Butler, Dartmouth, Fordham, Lafayette, Loyola (Md.), Xavier, and Yale. In addition, Delaware, William & Mary, UNCW, and Elon are the only CAA schools that have had at least team one team honored every year since the program was initiated.

“Congratulations to our women's tennis and women's cross country student-athletes on this outstanding accomplishment and prestigious honor,” said Delaware Director of Athletics and Recreation Services Chrissi Rawak. “Academic success is the highest priority for our student-athletes and we are proud that these two programs have been nationally recognized. Congratulations as well to Coach Travis and Coach (Wendy) McFarlane-Smith and to our Student Services for Athletes staff in their continued efforts to help our athletes reach their goals academically.”

In addition to women's tennis and women's cross country, the Delaware men's tennis, softball, men's golf, women's golf, women's soccer, women's cross country, women's swimming & diving, men's cross country, and men's track & field programs have all be recognized in past years.

APR scores for all Division I teams will be released May 10. The APR measures eligibility, graduation and retention each semester or academic term and provides a clear picture of the academic performance for each team in every sport. All teams must meet an academic threshold of 930 to qualify for the postseason and can face penalties for continued low academic performance.

Goldey-Beacom Softball Closes Season With 3-0 Loss to Philadelphia U. at the CACC Tournament


Goldey-Beacom’s 2017 softball campaign, that took it to this weekend’s Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament, ended with a 3-0 loss to Philadelphia University in Lakewood, NJ.


Philadelphia U. (23-27) broke the ice in the top of the fourth inning. Monica Levins drew a one-out walk and after Jovanna Alfonsi flied out, Gianna Bliss cracked one over the center-field fence for a two-run homer and a 2-0 score.


The Rams tacked on an insurance marker in the seventh for a 3-0 cushion. Courtney Wensel lined a one-out single, was sacrificed to second by Breck Urban and scored on Katelyn Stys’ RBI single to right-center field.


Goldey-Beacom (17-32) had its chances, but left a pair of runners on base in the fifth and sixth innings to end the threats.


Junior Kelsey Brandle (Bethlehem, PA) collected two hits for the Lightning. Tower City, PA junior Kylie Doyle (7-15) once again pitched great, but gave up three runs and four hits over seven innings.


Naomi Stas (12-8) threw her second shutout of the season against Goldey-Beacom, striking out three and surrendering just four hits.


It was the culmination of a year in which Goldey-Beacom played in the CACC Tournament for the first time since 2006 and won a game in this field for the first time since 2005. Its 14-12 league mark was the first such winning record since going 14-8 in 2006.


Goldey-Beacom opened the tournament Thursday with a 2-0 triumph over local rival and defending champion Wilmington (DE) before a 13-4 loss later that day to 15th-ranked Caldwell.

SUBJECT: Big Hit Eludes Delaware in 7-0 Baseball Setback to North Carolina State
DATE: May 6, 2017
RALEIGH, N.C. – The University of Delaware baseball squad recorded just four hits on Saturday night and suffered a 7-0 seback at hands of North Carolina State at Doak Field.
The Hens (24-20), who dropped the opener of the three-game non-league set to the Wolfback by a 7-1 score Friday night, again struggled with runners in scoring position and left nine runners on base. Delaware suffered its fourth straight setback.
Despite the loss, Delaware senior outfielder Calvin Scott extended his hitting streak to 14 games as he went 1 for 3 and also drew a walk.
“Tonight was another tough result,” said Delaware head coach Jim Sherman. “We again couldn't find the big hit when we needed it. Going into tomorrow, I want to see us change our approach at the plate.”
Delaware starter Ron Marinaccio allowed just three runs in six strong innings of work and struck out six batters but suffered the loss to fall to 1-2 on the season.
The Blue Hens allowed a two-run double in the third and a solo home run off the bat of Josh McClain in the fifth. North Carolina State, an annual NCAA Tournament contender, extended its winning streak to seven games and improved to 27-20 on the season.
In the seventh, the Wolf Pack scored their fourth run of the game on a two-out single off Colman Vila. The Blue Hens loaded the bases in the eighth inning with one out, but back-to-back strikeouts ended the threat. North Carolina State then added three runs in the eighth to put the game away.
Delaware and North Carolina State will play the series finale Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. Kevin Milley will take the ball for Delaware while Michael Brown will toe the rubber for the Wolf Pack.

SUBJECT: University of Delaware Football Closes Out Successful Spring with Annual Blue-White Game
DATE:  May 6, 2017
NEWARK, Del. -- New University of Delaware football head coach Danny Rocco came away pleased with his first Blue-White Spring Game experience Saturday evening at Delaware Stadium as the Blue Hens closed out a successful spring with the annual exhibition matchup.

An appreciative crowd of 3,000 was on hand to check out the new look Blue Hens and see the progress that has been made over the last month in preparation for the 2017 season.

Using a modified scoring system to that gives points to the offense for touchdowns, field goals and first downs and credits the defense for takeaways, sacks, tackles for loss, and forcing punts, the White (defense) came away with a 53-29 victory the Blue (offense) in the 70-minute scrimmage that featured 12-minute quarters with a running clock.

The game featured four conventional scoring plays as the Blue team got on the board first on a 24-yard touchdown pass from rising junior quarterback Joe Walker to junior tight end Charles Scarff with 19 seconds left in the second quarter. Scarff, a second-year transfer from Rutgers, used his 6-5, 270 lb. frame to go up high and grab the ball away from a White defender in the back of the end zone.

The White team got on the board with a defensive touchdown in the final quarter as rising senior linebacker Anthony Jackson picked off an interception and returned it 46 yards for a touchdown down the right sideline.

The Blue team also got a 43-yard field goal from redshirt freshman Mark Bonnie in the fourth quarter and a 15-yard scoring pass from redshirt sophomore Pat Kehoe to freshman Gene Coleman II in the final minute of play.

“We had an opportunity to get some live work in, play an up-tempo game at a physical pace, and had the opportunity to evaluate a lot of players,” said Rocco. “And that is the real upside to a spring game. I would have liked to see us execute better offensively, have more tempo, and be more productive, but we did some good things today and some guys stepped up and some new names and faces made some plays. The defense ruled the day but the offense had its moments. I am really happy to be here and really proud to be their head football coach. I reminded them that we are all in this together and I really believe this group is committed to winning. I had a good feeling tonight.”

The offense picked up 14 first downs and 246 total yards as Walker completed 10 of 20 passes for 120 yards and a touchdown and Kehoe went 5 of 9 for 60 yards and a score. Redshirt freshman receiver Joey Carter hauled in four passes for 67 yards, Scarff added four catches for 40 yards, and Coleman had two receptions for 35 yards.

“I think I’ve had a really good spring and I feel more comfortable getting back to tight end,” said Scarff, who played wide receiver a year ago but added 20 lbs. to his frame in the off-season. “Joe (Walker) and I have been developing a good chemistry this spring. Everybody really seems to be on the same page and we’ve all put in a lot of hard work this spring.”

Defensively, the White team intercepted four passes, had three pass breakups, collected three sacks, and had five other tackles for loss. Jackson, junior linebacker Troy Reeder, junior defensive back Nasir Adderley, and junior defensive back K.C. Hinton all picked off a pass, sophomore defensive end Cam Kitchen posted two sacks, junior defensive end Aaron Donalson had a sack, a tackle for loss, a pass breakup, and three tackles.

Reeder and senior linebacker Larry Spears led the defense with six tackles each while Kitchen and redshirt freshman linebacker Colby Reeder each made five stops.

Rocco spoke to the crowd at halftime and introduced several awards for the spring and named the captains for the 2017 season.

Troy Reeder, senior linebacker Charles Bell, senior running back Wes Hills, and senior center Brody Kern were selected by their teammates to serve as co-captains; Scarff and redshirt freshman defensive lineman Sal Mauro were named the Blue Hen Touchdown Club Most Improved Players; and Reeder and senior defensive Bilal Nichols were named Weight Room Champions for their outstanding performance in the weight room during the spring.

In addition to the team awards, all-time Blue Hen great and longtime National Football League star quarterback Rich Gannon was on hand and was presented with a University of Delaware Alumni Association Wall of Fame outstanding achievement award. Gannon, an All-Pro and NFL Most Valuable Player during his long career, currently is a color commentator on NFL games with CBS TV.

SUBJECT: Delaware Softball Celebrates Senior Day, Keep Playoff Hopes Alive With Doubleheader Sweep of UNCW
DATE: May 6, 2017
NEWARK, Del. -- The University of Delaware softball team celebrated its Senior Day by sweeping a doubleheader from UNCW, 4-3 and 2-1, in a pair of dramatic victories Saturday afternoon at the UD Softball Stadium to keep its postseason hopes alive.
The Blue Hens improved to 23-27 overall and 9-11 in the Colonial Athletic Association, and are now tied for fifth place in the league standings with Elon, which fell to James Madison on Saturday. If Delaware defeats the Seahawks on Sunday at 12 noon in its regular season finale, the Blue Hens will qualify for the five-team CAA Tournament at JMU next Wednesday through Friday. If the Blue Hens lose to UNCW, Elon will earn the fifth seed in the tournament.
UNCW (31-15-1, 10-9 CAA) scored an unearned run in the top of the first during the opener, and the Seahawks increased their lead to 3-0 when Rachel Willis and Merritt Wilkinson delivered RBI singles in the top of the seventh.
However with their backs against the wall, the Blue Hens staged an epic rally in the bottom of the frame. Anna Steinmetz led off the inning with an infield single, and following a walk to Alyshia Dellatore, Devon Steiner (above) drove home pinch runner Jess Bishop with an RBI double down the rightfield line. Jordan Cargile then walked to load the bases, and after Sarah Coyne worked a 3-0 count, the game was delayed by rain for 40 minutes.
Following the delay Coyne walked to force home Dellatore, while Ali Davis (right) laced a single to left to drive home pinch runner Julia Solderitch to tie the game at 3-3. Cargile was then thrown out at the plate on a force play, but UNCW pitcher Peyton Jordan's second pitch to Mariah Kondravy was wild and got past Seahawks catcher Ashley Best, allowing Miranda O'Donald (below) to scamper home with the winning run.
Cargile, who allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits with seven strikeouts in a complete game effort in the circle, improved to 16-14 on the year. Jordan fell to 15-7 for the Seahawks after giving up four runs on seven hits in 6.2 frames.
The second game was a pitcher's duel between Blue Hen senior Taylor Curran and UNCW pitcher Sarah Davis, and remained scoreless until the bottom of the sixth. Kondravy led off with frame with a sharp single to right, while Bishop pinch ran and advanced to third when Steinmetz crushed a pitch that hit the top of the centerfield fence. Dellatore then grounded out to third, with Bishop racing home on the throw to first base to put Delaware on the board. Steiner followed with a single to centerfield, chasing home Solderitch to make it a 2-0 game.
UNCW, which was held without a hit through the first six innings, rallied in the top of the seventh as Kelsey Bryan led off with a single and two outs later Anna Hessenthaler singled to rightfield. Lauren Moore then ripped a single to leftcenter to drive home Bryan, but Curran recovered to retire Kali Jones on a flyout to center to end the game.
Curran, who was honored in the pregame Senior Day ceremony along with classmate Morgan Schroll, improved to 5-7 after allowing one run on three hits in the complete game victory. Davis dropped to 13-5 for the Seahawks despite giving up two runs on eight hits in six innings of work.
Kondravy finished 3 for 6 at the plate during the afternoon, while Steiner added two hits and two RBI. Schroll, Steinmetz and Gearhart also recorded two hits during UD's doubleheader sweep.
Game Notes:
• Delaware swept its third CAA doubleheader of the year, and its first since winning twice at Drexel on Apr. 2
• Kondravy moved into a tied for fourth place in Blue Hen history with 182 career hits
• Cargile is now tied for seventh in a UD single season with 16 victories this year
• A win on Sunday would qualify Delaware for the CAA Tournament for the second straight year, and for the fifth time in the last seven seasons

HORNETS SPLIT TWO GAMES IN MEAC TOURNAMENT; ONE LOSS FROM ELIMINATION

Thu, May 11, 2017
Ormond Beach, Fla. (May 11, 2017) --- After an excruciating extra-inning loss in its 2017 MEAC Tournament opener, the Delaware State softball team found the energy to stay alive in the tourney with a win in its second game in near 90 degree heat at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex today.

The Hornets dropped their tournament opener 3-0 in 10 innings to North Carolina A&T before bouncing back for a 7-5 victory over Coppin State later in the day.

In the opener, North Carolina A&T did not get its first hit until the 10th inning, but took advantage of the opportunity to score the only runs of the game.

Delaware State starter Hannah Shield was brilliant through nine innings, allowing just one base runner (on an error) before the Aggies broke through in the 10th.

The contest was still scoreless when NCA&T's Zadia Davis reached base on an error to lead off the 10th. Zadaisha Waddell followed with a single to right for the Aggies' first hit of the game. Kimberly Brunson then singled to center to score Davis with the first run of the game. Alexandria Simmons and Mohogany Headen added run scoring hits off Shields in the inning.

Delaware State outhit the Aggies 8-5, left 15 runners on base in the contest.

The Hornets had golden opportunities to score in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, but failed to capitalize.

In the seventh, Jordan Casey was at second and Micaela Cummings on first with one out. Sabrina Quarles then reached base on an error, but Casey was cut down at the plate while trying to score on the play.

The Hornets loaded the bases with none out in the eighth, but the Aggies retired the next three batters- Vanessa Washington, Casey and Cummings- to end the threat.

In the ninth, Jasmine Melgoza doubled to lead off the inning but was stranded at third.

Delaware State had two runners on with two outs in the bottom of the 10th, but Cummings popped out to second to end the game.

Despite nine no-hit innings, Shields (8-11) was the tough luck loser in the contest. She allowed five hits and three runs, two earned, while striking out five without a walk in the complete game performance.

In Coppin State game, 1-2 hitters Jasmine Melgoza and Sabrina Quarles were a combined 6-for-8 with four runs scored and two RBI to lead the Hornets' 13-hit attack.

Mika Lumsden was 3-for-3 with a run scored, while Desiree Moreno and Khaliyah Flournory drove in two runs each.

The Hornets opened the scoring with four runs in the third inning. Quarles singled in the first run, while Flournory smacked a two-run double to give the Hornets a 4-0 lead.

Coppin State responded with three runs in the third, including a solo homer by Hadika James, off DSU starter Tara Tursellino.

After Melgoza singled in a run in the fourth inning to give the Hornets a 5-3 lead, the Eagles scored twice in the fifth to tie the game.

The score was still tied in the sixth when Moreno doubled in Melgoza and Quarles for the go-ahead runs.

Jess Shalongo pitched three innings in relief to pick up the win for the Hornets, who will fight to stay alive in an elimination game against Hampton or Bethune-Cookman on Friday at 10:00 am.

SUBJECT: Wilmington Baseball Drops Opener to Dominican, 4-0; Stays Alive with 11-7 Victory over Philadelphia in CACC Tournament

DATE: May 9, 2017
djl

WATERBURY, Conn. - - An offensive outburst in an elimination extended the Wilmington University baseball team’s run in the 2017 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament, falling in the opening round, 4-0, to Dominican before coming back to defeat Philadelphia, 11-7, on Thursday at Municipal Stadium.

With the win on Thursday night, the second seeded Wildcats will play the loser of the Dominican/Chestnut Hill winner’s bracket game on Friday at 3:00 p.m. Eighth seeded Philadelphia was eliminated from the CACC Tournament.

The reason they fell to the loser’s bracket was the right arm of Dominican’s Brett Schneider, as he went all nine innings for the complete game shutout he only allowed the Wildcats three hits and two walks in the contest.

The sixth seeded Chargers also gave Sean Deely his first loss of the season, putting two runs on the board in the fifth before scoring single runs in the fifth and sixth innings. Deely fell to 7-1 with the loss, giving up four runs (two earned) on nine hits while striking out three and allowing three walks.

The elimination game had a different feel to it, as more runs were scored in the first inning than in the Wildcats’ first game. The Chargers jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first but the Wildcats answered with four runs on four hits to set the pace for the contest.

Rocky Ferrier led off the frame with a single before an error put runners on first and second. Nick Macey singled back up the middle to plate Ferrier from second and tie the game. Julian Kurych pulled one through the right side for another RBI single before Dan Hyatt doubled down the left field line to give the Wildcats the 4-1 lead.

Jesse Long gave the Wildcats a five-run cushion with a two-run double down the left field line in the third. He would eventually come home on a throwing error by the catcher for the 7-1 lead after three innings. Kurych added an RBI triple to right center in the fourth for the 8-1 lead before the Rams started to chip away.

The Rams loaded the bases with one out, forcing starter Chuck Delagol from the mound. A sac fly brought in the first run before a bases clearing double off the bat of Jeff Briggs brought the Rams to within 8-5.

The momentum swung back in favor of the Wildcats in the bottom of the inning, however, as Hyatt came through with another big two-out, two-run double to score Macey and Max Carney. Hyatt then took matters into his own hands and stole third and was able to come home on another throwing error by the catcher for the 11-5 advantage.

Philadelphia scored a two-out run in the seventh and another two-out run in the ninth, but the Wildcats’ receivers shut the door to stay alive. Brad Scull pitched 1.1 innings before Zach Rumford tossed a scoreless eighth. Noah Latshaw came on in the ninth to ensure the victory.

Ferrier, Macey, Kurych, Hyatt, and Long all collected two hits in the nightcap. Hyatt finished with four RBI while Kurych and Long added two RBI each.

SUBJECT: University of Delaware Women's Lacrosse to Spread Love of the Game in Switzerland in June
DATE: May 11, 2017
NEWARK, Del. – The University of Delaware women's lacrosse team will continue to spread its love for the game this summer, but this time internationally, as the Blue Hens will travel to Switzerland from June 4-14.
“We are excited to be able to offer this tremendous once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our women's lacrosse student-athletes,” commented Delaware Athletics Director Chrissi Rawak. “Due to the unique nature of collegiate athletics, our student-athletes do not always have the opportunity to take part in the University of Delaware's world-class study abroad program. This trip will allow our women's lacrosse team the chance to grow in a global learning environment while also taking advantage of the outstanding cultural experiences that Switzerland has to offer. International competition, team bonding and sharing the love of the game with the Swiss people will provide invaluable and lifelong memories.”
While in Switzerland, the Hens will not only train against international club opponents and compete against the Swiss national team as it gets ready for World Cup action, but also take part in youth clinics and international coaching programs while immersing in the local culture.
“I think this initiative is exciting and demonstrates Delaware's commitment to providing our student-athletes with an experience that aligns with our University's educational values,” head coach Kateri Linville '03 stated. “It brings great pride to me and the program to know our alumnae, families, and friends are enthusiastic about our vision and willing to help me to create the ultimate DI experience with an unprecedented level of giving to the program. The opportunity to travel, play, and share the love of lacrosse in another country is the “next great” servant leadership story that our team has to tell.”
Daily updates from the team will be posted through the program's social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter in addition to BlueHens.com. The Blue Hens will also have a one-day Snapchat takeover and participate in two Facebook live sessions where family, friends, alumni and fans can submit questions and interact with the team.
“It's simply amazing the support we've had from our donors and we're extremely grateful for their assistance as we embark on this global experience,” exclaimed Delaware senior and team co-captain Mary Abram (Wilmington, Del./Ursuline). “It's exciting to be able to grow the game abroad and we cannot wait to interact with the Swiss and also help them prepare for the World Cup. Being able to take part in this type of international competition while building team chemistry and sharing our love for the game is something that we will never forget.”
This trip is made possible by the philanthropic support of alumni, parents, family and friends. To learn more on giving, please click here.

SUBJECT: Longtime Delaware Football Staffer Jerry Oravitz Promoted into New Role in Athletics Fundraising
DATE: May 11, 2017
NEWARK, Del. -- Jerry Oravitz, a staple with the University of Delaware athletics program over the last 21 years in the areas of operations and administration, including the last 14 seasons in daily football operations, will take on his new role later this month in the position of Associate Director of Athletics for Major Gifts.
Oravitz, who joined the UD staff in 1997, will work closely with student-athlete alumni as a part of the fundraising team led by Senior Associate Athletic Director Jordan Skolnick. He will begin his new position on May 15.
Oravitz will be responsible for major gift fundraising for the UD Intercollegiate Athletics Program with the major emphasis of the position being the solicitation of gifts from former student-athletes.
Carl Kotz (at right), who came to Delaware from the University of Richmond when Danny Rocco was named the Blue Hens' new head coach, has been promoted to director of football operations and will take over Oravitz' responsibilities with day-to-day operations of the football office and coordination of team travel. He will also work closely with recruiting coordinator Bill Polin on all recruiting efforts.
“This is an exciting transition for Jerry and for the University of Delaware athletics program,” said Delaware Director of Athletics and Recreation Services Chrissi Rawak. “Effective fundraising and relationship building is certainly vital in college athletics today and Jerry brings a unique perspective that we are confident will benefit Blue Hens athletics and all of our student-athletes, alumni, friends, and fans. Jerry's vast experience in athletics here at Delaware, his close ties with our football program, and his strong relationships with former Blue Hens players and families makes him the perfect fit for this newly-created position.”
“I am honored and excited to be taking over this new role at Delaware and I thank Chrissi Rawak for providing me with this great opportunity,” said Oravitz. “Delaware Athletics has been a big part of my life and I cherish the relationships that I have built with so many former Blue Hen student-athletes, staff members, and coaches over the years - particularly within the football program. This new position allows me the opportunity to enhance those relationships and establish many new ones while growing professionally and meeting new challenges.”
A native of New Castle, Del. and a 1984 graduate of Salisbury (Md.) University and 1998 master's graduate of Springfield (Mass.) College, Oravitz began his career at Delaware as an operations intern and worked his way through the ranks as athletics operations associate, special assistant to the athletics director, director of football operations, and currently associate director of athletics for football administration.
He also serves as internship supervisor for the UD Sports Management program and served as an adjunct instructor in the sport management program from 2003-2014. He also completed NACDA's Sports Management Executive Program sponsored by the University of Notre Dame and the University of Texas in January, 2004.
Oravitz remains active in the community, serving as a volunteer with Special Olympics of Delaware, Meals on Wheels – Newark, the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Newark, and the Sunday Breakfast Mission in Wilmington. He and his wife, Teresa, reside in Bear, Del.

SUBJECT: Delaware Men's Basketball Adds George Washington Transfer Collin Goss To Program
DATE: May 11, 2017
NEWARK, Del. -- University of Delaware men's basketball head coach Martin Ingelsby has announced that George Washington transfer Collin Goss has joined the Blue Hen program and will have two seasons of eligibility with UD beginning in the 2018-19 season.
Goss, a 6'11 forward from Manassas, Va., appeared in 13 games as a sophomore this season for the Colonials, who finished with a 20-15 record and competed in the College Basketball Invitational. He finished the year with 20 points and 14 rebounds, while averaging 6.2 minutes per contest. Goss scored a career-high five points in a win over Harvard on Nov. 29, and added four points in a season-opening victory over Siena. He played a career-high 19 minutes against Florida State, and blocked a career-best two shots vs. Howard.
Goss saw action in 18 games during his freshman year, totaling nine rebounds and a point for a George Washington team that went 28-10 and captured the Postseason NIT title.
Goss attended St. Stephen's & St. Agnes School in Alexandria, Va., earning Second Team All-Interstate Athletic Conference honors as a senior after averaging 9.8 points and posting three double-doubles.
“We are very excited to welcome Collin to the Delaware basketball family,” Ingelsby said. “Collin's size, skill set and overall basketball IQ make him a natural fit for our system and style of play. More importantly, we are adding an individual with high character, a strong work ethic and someone who will represent our basketball program in a first class manner on and off the court.”
Goss will be the second George Washington transfer in the current Blue Hen program, along with rising junior guard Darian Bryant, who appeared in all but one game for UD while making 18 starts this season and ranked fourth on the squad with a 7.6 scoring average.

SUBJECT: Four-Run Fourth Inning Harms Wilmington Softball in 5-3 Defeat to #24 Adelphi in First Round of NCAA East Regional

DATE: May 9, 2017
djl

GARDEN CITY, N.Y. - - The Wilmington University softball team brought the tying run to the plate in the top of the seventh, but dropped its opening of the 2017 NCAA Division II East Regional Tournament, 5-3, to top seed and host Adelphi on Thursday afternoon at Ficke Field.

A four-run inning put the No. 8 seed Wildcats (34-20) behind the eight ball on Thursday, as No. 1 Adelphi jumped ahead 4-0 after the fourth inning. But the Wildcats battled back to score three runs in the sixth and had the tying run at the plate in the seventh before the Panthers earned the victory.

Northeast 10 Player of the Year Brenna Martini put the Panthers on the board with a solo shot to start the fourth. She worked the count full before blasting her 16th homer of the season to left field. Three doubles and an error later in the same inning, the Panthers had a 4-0 lead.

Back-to-back singles by Becca Stanley and Rosa’Lynn Burton started the top of the sixth for the Wildcats. Jazmeen Llamas put the pressure on Martini at third with a ground, forcing a bad throw that got away and allowed the Wildcats on the board. Kaitlyn Slater squeezed in another run before Colby Wyatt brought the Wildcats to within 4-3 with a RBI groundout to second. Meghan Brown singled to try and start a two-out rally again, but the Panthers were able to keep the lead by ending the frame.

The Panthers tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth, giving the Wildcats one final opportunity in the top of the seventh.

Whitney DeMora lead off the inning by working a walk, bringing up the tying run to the plate with three opportunities. But Adelphi pitcher Lindsay Mapes induced a grounder and picked up back-to-back strikeouts to end the inning and the game, 5-3.

Brown led the Wildcats with two hits, going 2-for-3 for the day. Burton, Llamas, and Stanley picked up the other three hits for the Wildcats.

Caitlyn Whiteside was saddled with the loss, going 2.1 innings while allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits. Brooklyn Lachette came on and tossed the final 2.2 innings, allowing one unearned run on two hits.

Fifth seeded Mercy defeated fourth seeded New Haven in the other game at Ficke Field on Thursday, 3-1. The Wildcats will now play New Haven in an elimination game on Friday at 1:30 p.m. The winner advances to play immediately afterwards.

Goldey-Beacom’s Nina Sengl Named CoSIDA Academic All-District


Senior Nina Sengl (Puchheim, Germany), who graduates as one of Goldey-Beacom’s College’s preeminent student-athletes, has been named College Sports Information Directors of American (CoSIDA) Academic All-District.


Sengl now becomes eligible for the CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, which will be announced in June.


Sengl is the third Goldey-Beacom student-athlete to be tabbed CoSIDA Academic All-District. Junior Cameron Wilkinson (Terrigal, Australia) and sophomore Chahin Aghrim (Bonn, Germany), both from men’s soccer, were honored last fall.


It has been an outstanding four-year run for Sengl, a three-time member of the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Academic Honor Roll. Additionally, she won the 2015-16 CACC Top XV Award for having the best GPA among those participating in the league championship.


For her overall role in athletics, academics and community service, Sengl last September was tabbed the conference’s Student-Athlete of the Month.


That work in community service took her down many avenues. As a member of the school’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), twice she has partaken in Adopt-a-Family to help solicit gift cards, assorted food items and Goldey-Beacom Athletics gear for families in Wilmington.


Sengl also helped with “Bras for the Cause,” the department’s collection of bras to go with raising money and awareness of breast cancer in October 2015. That work helped the College become a finalist for the NCAA Division II Award of Excellence. She also helped her teammates in Tennithon, working with roughly 65 junior players over five hours with various parts of their game.


Sengl also will be remembered for her play on the court. A four-year competitor who helped the Lightning reach new heights, she graduates tied for second in school history with 48 singles wins and fourth with 47 doubles triumphs.


Her 17-0 singles mark this year puts her ties for second on the school’s single-season list. Her 14 doubles triumphs with senior Francesca Beg (Westbury, England), a duo which is ranked 10th in the East Region according to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA), has them tied for fourth in team annals.


No year best exemplifies the team reaching the summit than does the 2014-15 season, when the squad became the first in school history in any sport to record a head-to-head NCAA Tournament win and posted a school-record 18 victories. The Lightning ended 31st in the country that year with Sengl amassing 14 doubles wins and eight singles triumphs.


The 2016-17 squad recorded the first CACC title in school history with a 5-1 triumph over Post and clinched its sixth trip to the NCAA Tournament. Sengl went 4-0 in her matches en route to the league crown and was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player.


Among its 14 victories this season that are tied for second in school history include Goldey-Beacom upending Southern New Hampshire, 5-1, for its second NCAA Tournament win.

SUBJECT: Former University of Delaware Standout Lineman Connor Bozick Signs with NFL Detroit Lions
DATE:  May 26, 2017
DETROIT -- Former University of Delaware standout offensive lineman Connor Bozick has moved one step closer to his dream of playing professional football as he was signed to a free agent contract by the Detroit Lions this week.

Bozick, a 6-5, 320 lb. combination tackle-guard, will report to the Lions and take part in their pre-season camp. Former Blue Hen All-American linebacker Paul Worrilow, who played the past four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons and played in the Super Bowl this past February, signed with the Lions earlier this spring. The Lions will begin training camp July 23 in Allen Park, Mich.

“I’m excited to be joining a great organization like the Detroit Lions,” said Bozick, a hotel, restaurant, and institutional management major from Severn, Md. (DeMatha Catholic High School). “The coaches here are world-class and I can’t wait to play more football and compete for a spot.”

Bozick was a five-year member of the squad and concluded his career this past fall as one of the top offensive linemen in Delaware history. He was a two-time All-Colonial Athletic Association selection, earning second team honors in 2016 and third team honors in 2015, and competed in both the FCS National All-Star Bowl and the Dream Bowl All-Star Game following the season. He also earned the Blue Hen Touchdown Club Outstanding Senior Lineman Award.

A versatile player who competed at both tackle and guard during his career, Bozick appeared in 46 career games with 24 straight starts to finish up his career and never missed a game since his redshirt freshman season in 2013. As a senior in 2016, he started all 11 games and anchored an offense that led the CAA and ranked No. 8 in the nation for fewest sacks (11) and ranked No. 2 in the CAA in rushing (227.2 yards per game).

Bozick will be one of eight former Blue Hens in NFL camps this summer, joining Worrilow, quarterback Joe Flacco and tight end Nick Boyle with Baltimore, safety Mike Adams and offensive lineman Gino Gradkowski with Carolina, defensive tackle Zach Kerr with Denver, and defensive back Marcus Burley with Cleveland.

SUBJECT: Delaware Volleyball Head Coach Sara Matthews Adds Six Newcomers For 2017 Season
DATE: May 26, 2017
NEWARK, Del. -- University of Delaware head volleyball coach Sara Matthews has announced that six newcomers will join the UD program and begin competing for the Blue Hens this fall.
Matthews, who begins her first season as the Blue Hens head coach this August, will welcome Abby Skryd, a transfer from Western Illinois, to the UD program along with Courtnie Roberts, Elise Jolly, Maddie Judge, Jazmyne Mitchell and Allie DeAbreu.
Skryd, a setter from Naperville, Ill., arrives in Newark after spending two seasons with the Leathernecks and leading the squad with 627 assists and 24 service aces a year ago. She recorded four double-doubles on the year, notched a season-high 49 assists against Drake, and posted a career-best 13 digs vs. McNeese State. She appeared in 24 matches while starting 22, ranking fifth on the squad with 165 digs. Skryd, who saw action in all 31 matches and started 21 as a freshman, notched 764 assists on the year and recorded a double-double in her collegiate debut against Akron. She added a double-double vs. Fort Wayne, handed out a career-high 54 assists in a victory over South Dakota, and again led the squad with 31 aces.
“I knew right away when our staff met Abby that she would be a great addition to our program,” Matthews said. “She comes from a top club program and brings a great deal of experience being a starter at the collegiate level for the past two years. We are looking forward to her coming in and providing some leadership as an upperclassman. Abby has a competitive drive that should push her to make an immediate impact on the court.”
Roberts, a setter from Krum, Texas (Krum HS) who arrived on the UD campus for the spring semester, was named the District Setter of the Year and first team All-State during her two seasons at Krum High School.

Goldey-Beacom Men’s Soccer Announces 2017 Schedule


A return trip to the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament means a great sense of enthusiasm for Goldey-Beacom’s men’s soccer team, which announced its 2017 schedule.


The squad’s 18-game slate begins in August for the first time since 2012 with a non-league match August 31 at Shippensburg. The home opener is September 3 against Bloomsburg as part of a doubleheader with the women’s team, which opens the day vs. Roberts Wesleyan.


League play commences September 9 at Concordia (NY) and the first conference match at home is September 13 against Chestnut Hill. The following week on September 19, the Lightning head to Newark for what always is a big game against local-rival Wilmington (DE).


GBC faces defending league champion Georgian Court on October 11 in Lakewood, NJ and the CACC schedule ends October 21 at Caldwell. The squad then heads to the nation’s capital for a non-conference match October 25 at the District of Columbia to close the regular season.


The league’s top eight teams compete in the CACC Tournament, which begins October 30. The semifinals and final take place later that week in Lakewood, NJ.


Goldey-Beacom (9-7-2, 6-4-2 CACC) last season made the CACC Tournament in consecutive years for the first time in 15 seasons and has notched 25 victories from 2014-16. That is the greatest win total over a three-year period for the program in over a decade.


One of the key players back for the squad is junior goalkeeper Suhail Bismilla (Johannesburg, South Africa), who has been the backbone for the program the last two seasons. A vocal leader and one of the best teammates any program could ask for, the first team all-conference pick from last year closed 66th in the country with a 1.21 goals against average, 94th with a .738 save percentage, third in the league with eight wins, fourth with 1,550 minutes, eighth with 59 saves and eighth with two shutouts.


Bismilla enters this season third in school history with a 1.68 goals against average, tied for third with five shutouts and sixth with 131 saves.


Junior Chahin Aghrim (Bonn, Germany) not only has been a vital player at midfield the last two seasons, but has excelled in the classroom having been tabbed CoSIDA Academic All-District a year ago. The first team All-CACC selection from last season ended sixth in the CACC with five assists, eighth with two game-winning goals, 15th with 13 points and 20th with four goals. Aghrim paced the Lightning in both assists and points.


Senior Mateus Silvestre (Picarras, Brazil) brings everything to the table at midfield and his solid play a season ago helped him close 10th in the CACC with four assists, 19th with 12 points and 20th with four goals. Senior Cameron Wilkinson (Terrigal, Australia), who gives the Lightning stability both on midfield and defense, a season ago joined Aghrim as a pick for CoSIDA Academic All-District.


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, the Accreditation Council of Business Schools and Programs and the International Assembly of Collegiate Business Education.

Goldey-Beacom Women’s Soccer Reveals 2017 Schedule


An enthralling campaign a year ago left plenty of room for optimism and Goldey-Beacom’s women’s soccer team hopes that carries over into the 2017 season.


The schedule opens with a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference game for the first time since 2013 as the squad hosts Bloomfield on September 1. The 17-game slate continues two days later against Roberts Wesleyan as part of a doubleheader with the men’s team, which faces Bloomsburg.


The Lightning then play five of their next six games on the road, including a trip to New Castle on September 20 to face Wilmington (DE). The squad also makes a journey to western New York to visit Daemen on September 26.


GBC then plays five of its next seven contests at home, ending October 18 against Holy Family in a rematch of last year’s CACC quarterfinals. League play concludes October 21 at CACC champion Caldwell and the regular season ends October 27 at Queens (NY).


The league’s top eight teams make the CACC Tournament, which starts October 31. The semifinals and final will be held later that week in Lakewood, NJ.


Goldey-Beacom (12-6-1, 8-3-1 CACC) last season closed third in the league for its highest finish since 2005, also the last time it hosted a conference tournament game before last year. It also made the CACC Tournament a third straight season for the first time since going four consecutive years from 2003-06.


Helping pace the charge is senior midfielder Amy Runciman (Luton, England), a valuable player who does it all with her keen field awareness, scoring touch and great passing. The second team all-conference pick a season ago certainly earned it by closing 28th in the country with nine assists, 32nd with 0.47 assists per game, 90th with 23 points, 98th with 1.21 points per contest and eighth in the CACC with seven goals.


One of five returnees who started all 19 games last season, Runciman enters this year second in school history with 25 assists, fourth with 63 points and fifth with 19 goals.


Another key returnee among the midfielders is junior Cliona Crammond (Wicklow, Ireland), who also gives the Lightning plenty of scoring touch and once again should be one of the catalysts. Also starting all 19 games a year ago, Crammond ended sixth in the conference with five assists, 21st with 13 points and 30th with four goals.


Senior Tanner Turner-Rush (Harrisburg, PA) has been a four-year starter at center back and now becomes the leader for a defense which last season was third with 1.12 goals allowed per game and tied for third with seven shutouts. Junior midfielder Sophie Woods (Manchester, England) also returns after closing 21st in the CACC with three assists, 26th with 11 points and 30th with four goals.


Leading the way is second-year coach Dan Frick, who last season was tabbed CACC Coach of the Year.


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.
