POST-GAME QUOTES

“We’ve really grown as a team this year. We’ve created a lot more depth on our entire players group and it’s a joy as a coach and fan of the game to see how we’ve played the past few weeks. We’ve had players continue to get better and more comfortable and confident in their skillsets and abilities.”

“We’ve all been waiting for the CAA Tournament and we like to play in games where something’s on the line. One of our goals is to win the CAA Tournament and now it’s finally here. We’ve really worked well together as a team and it’s great to see how we can all help each other on the field. It doesn’t matter who’s out there, the talent level and effort doesn’t drop.”

Goldey-Beacom Volleyball Rallies Twice in 3-0 Victory at University of the Sciences.


Goldey-Beacom posted huge comebacks in each of the first two sets and then cruised in the third for a 3-0 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference victory (25-23, 25-19, 25-11) at University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, PA.


The Lightning (11-13, 6-11 CACC) in the first set were in a 20-15 hole before using a 10-3 run to grab the early lead. Five consecutive errors for USciences brought GBC to a 24-23 lead before two-time reigning CACC Player and Rookie of the Week Lindsay Przywara (Williamstown, NJ) closed the set with a kill.


The Devils (6-15, 4-13) held a 14-7 lead in the second when the Lightning rattled off the next 10 points for a 17-14 margin. Senior Grace McCarthy (Middletown, DE) was the catalyst behind this run with five kills and closed the set with seven to go with a .400 hitting percentage.


GBC held a 13-10 cushion in the third before ending the match on a 12-1 run. Freshman Makinsie Balderson (Fairfax, VA) took matters into her own hands with six aces in the run to help the Lightning score the last 10 points.


McCarthy recorded 16 kills, nine digs and a .424 percentage with Przywara amassing 10 kills and 12 digs for her sixth double-double of the season and fourth in her last six matches. Sophomore Olivia Florence (Glen Allen, VA) totaled 25 assists and Balderson had six aces to go with eight digs.


Meghan Nuff totaled 16 assists and 11 digs with Christine Irerra getting 12 digs for USciences.


Goldey-Beacom on Tuesday visits Philadelphia University in its final road match of the year. First serve is at 6:00 pm.




Goldey-Beacom Cross Country Ends the Season at the NCAA Regional


Goldey-Beacom sent three of its runners to Hopkinton, NH to compete against what always is a stellar field at the NCAA East Regional.


Adam Quann (Pennsville, NJ) continued to leave plenty of hope for the future, ending his impressive freshman campaign by closing the 10,000-meter run in 36:01.7. Quann this season amassed a pair of top-20 finishes, including a ninth-place showing at the GBC Fall Classic, was named the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Rookie of the Week on October 3 and to the league’s Weekly Honor Roll the previous week.


Junior Victor Rueda-Jimenez (Milford, DE) closed the run in 36:34.8, ending a year in which he had a pair of top-30 showings.


Junior Jordan Dodson (Port Deposit, MD) once again had an impressive run, ending the 6,000-meter trek in 25:34.1. She closed her year with two top-10 performances and an eight-place finish at the GBC Fall Classic. Dodson was named this season to the CACC Weekly Honor Roll on September 12 and 26.

Dover, Del. (Nov. 5, 2016) --- North Carolina Central scored touchdowns on offense, defense and special teams in a 38-19 victory over Delaware State at Alumni Stadium this afternoon.

The Eagles, co-leaders with North Carolina A&T in the MEAC standings (6-0), won their seventh straight game to improve to 7-2 overall. The Hornets are winless in nine games, including six league contests.

Quarterback Malcolm Bell completed 17-of-31 passes for 223 yards and two touchdowns, while Ramone Simpson rushed for 112 yards and a score to lead the NCCU attack.

Aris Scott (sr.) had five receptions for a season-best 128 yards and two touchdowns, while fellow wide receiver Mason Rutherford (jr.) hauled in eight passes for 111 yards to lead the Hornets.

North Carolina Central totaled 469 yards, including 236 rushing.

The Hornets racked up 432 yards, highlighted by a season-best 319 passing. The passing yardage is DSU’s most since throwing for 379 in the 2013 finale against Morgan State.

Delaware State linebacker Brian Cavicante (fr.) led all players with 13 tackles (10 solo) to tie his career-best.

Brian Cavicante

North Carolina Central opened the scoring with a touchdown on the first possession of the game. The Eagles capped off the nine-play, 72-yard drive with a seven-yard touchdown pass from Bell to LaVontis Smith. Delaware State blocked the extra point kick to hold NCCU’s lead to 6-0.

The Eagles drove to the DSU 10 on their third possession of the game, but had to settle for a 28-yard field goal by Brandon McLaren to open up a 9-0 lead with 2:05 left in the first quarter.

Delaware State got on the board with an early second quarter touchdown.

Senior quarterback Gilbert Rivera, starting his first game of the season, connected with Scott on a 20-yard touchdown pass to cap off the seven-play, 75-yard drive. Rivera completed each of his four pass attempts, including a 26-yard strike to Rutherford, during the two-minute-43 second march. The extra point kick by Wisdom Nzidee cut NC Central’s lead to 9-7 with `14:28 left in the second quarter.

The Eagles answered with a touchdown of their own on the ensuing possession. Sampson did the honors with a 24-yard scoring run. McLaren’s extra point gave the visitors a 16-7 lead with 11:59 left in the second quarter.

NC Central scored two touchdowns in the final 4:37 of the second quarter to take control of the game.

Less than three-and-a half minutes after Bell and Smith hooked up for their second touchdown pass of the game (30 yards), NCCU linebacker Reggie Hunter returned a Rivera interception 19 yards for a touchdown to stretch the Eagle’s lead to 31-7 just before halftime.

After Delaware State failed to get a first down on the opening possession of the third quarter, NC Central linebacker Mike Jones returned a punt by Fidel Romo-Martinez 90 yards to the endzone to cap off a run of 29 straight points by the Eagles. NCCU led 38-7 after the extra point by McLaren with 14:18 left in the third quarter.

Delaware State closed out the scoring with two late touchdowns.

The first touchdown was a 78-yard pass and run from Daniel Epperson to Scott with 4:09 left in the game. The reception was the longest at DSU for Scott, who ran for nearly 60 yards of the play.

It was also DSU’s longest pass play since quarterback Nick Elko and Travis Tarpley connected on an 83-yard strike at Hampton in 2012.

The Hornets scored the last touchdown of the game on a three-yard pop pass from running back Brycen Alleyne to tight end Isaiah Williams with 21 seconds left to play.

Rivera completed 13-of-21 passes for 180 yards, while Epperson had eight completions on 14 throws for 136 yards in relief.

The Hornets will play their 2016 home finale against the other MEAC leader, North Carolina A&T, next Saturday (Nov. 12) at 2 p.m.

STINGERSThe performances by Aris Scott and Mason Rutherford mark the first time that two Delaware State receivers surpassed 100 yards in a game since Tarpley (143) and Justin Wilson (110) vs. Morgan State in 2012 … Scott now has 106 receptions for 1,398 yards in his career … Rutherford’s eight catches were the most by a Hornet this season … sophomore linebacker Denzel Burgette recorded Delaware State’s first interception of the season when he picked off a pass by Bell with 8:45 left in the third quarter, snapping a string of 301 opponent throws since DSU’s last INT by William Burton vs. NC Central on Nov. 7, 2015 …
freshman Mike Waters led DSU with 64 yards on 16 rushing attempts in the game.

SUBJECT: Delaware Forces Five Turnovers, Runs Past Albany 33-17 for Second Straight CAA Football Victory
DATE:  November 5, 2016

NEWARK, Del. -- The University of Delaware football team proved Saturday afternoon that it knows a little about forcing turnovers, too.

Facing an Albany team that entered the game ranked second nationally in turnover margin with an impressive +17 mark, the Blue Hens forced five miscues themselves and the result was a satisfying 33-17 Colonial Athletic Association victory at Casey Stadium.

The Blue Hens (4-5, 2-4 CAA), who turned the ball over just once and had a 22-minute advantage in time of possession, gave interim head coach Dennis Dottin-Carter his second straight victory - and first on the road - as Delaware recovered three fumbles, intercepted two passes, and used a punishing ground attack to win for the second straight time at Albany. Delaware scored its highest point total in a road game since the 2013 season.

Delaware’s Wes Hills, who played for the first time since Oct. 22 due to a lower body injury, ran for a game-high 122 yards and scored two touchdowns, including a sensational 44-yard jaunt in the second quarter. Thomas Jefferson added another 73 yards and a touchdown on the ground as the Hens piled up 260 total yards on the ground.

Albany (5-4, 2-4 CAA), which lost for the fourth time in the last five games, likely had its postseason playoff hopes dashed as the Great Danes managed just seven first downs and 236 total yards, including just 15 total yards the entire second half.

“We were very opportunistic today,” said Dottin-Carter, whose team did enter the game with a +13 mark this season to rank No. 3 in the CAA. “We knew what was coming and we took advantage when it was there. We never gave up, we never stopped. I am so proud of our guys. They worked their butts off in practice this week, they were focused, and they were ready to go.”

Sophomore linebacker Troy Reeder, a first-year transfer from Penn State, was all over the field for the Hens. In addition to his five tackles, he intercepted a pass, recovered a fumble, and later recovered another fumble that he forced. Sophomore cornerback Nasir Adderley also led the way as he made five tackles and scored his first career touchdown when he stepped in front of a pass in the flat and raced 22 yards for a touchdown to give Delaware a 28-17 lead midway through the third quarter.

“That’s one of the things we always talk about in the meeting room,” said Reeder of Delaware’s penchant for causing turnovers. “We have a board in the room listing who has all the turnovers. It’s a big emphasis for us and today we saw that as a challenge. This is a tribute to our defense. We showed our maturity in the way we finished today.”

Albany scored on its first three possessions to take a 17-7 lead early in the second quarter before the Hens rallied. The Great Danes got a 36-yard field goal on their first possession and then made it 10-0 when running back Elijah Ibitokun-Hanks, the CAA’s leading rusher, capped an 80-yard drive with a 33-yard run with 4:03 left in the opening stanza. Hanks finished with 91 yards on 17 carries, well below is average of 122.6 yards per game.

After Hills put the Hens on the board with his 44-yard scoring romp on the second play of the second quarter to narrow the lead to 10-7, Albany came back to push the lead to 10 on a six-yard scoring toss from Nevin Sussman to tight end Nic Ketter. Hills scored for a second time on a six-yard burst with 15 seconds left in the half to cut the deficit to 17-14. That drive was set up when Reeder forced a fumble with a hard hit and cornerback Tenny Adewusi recovered at the Albany 46.

Delaware took control of the game with a dominating third quarter. After Adderley returned the opening kickoff 45 yards, the Hens used a 13-play drive to take the lead for good at 21-17 when Jefferson scored on a one-yard dive with 6:48 left in the stanza. Just three plays later, Adderley came up with his big pick-six on a third down play to increase the Blue Hen lead to 28-17.

“I will remember that play for a long time,” said Adderley, who also had an interception in last week’s 20-6 win over Towson. “When everyone is doing his job and we are swarming on defense, it shows what we are capable of. We can win a lot of games playing that way.”

“We had some missteps in the first half with some miscommunication issues,” said Dottin-Carter of Delaware’s first-half problems. “But at halftime, our guys were locked in and focused. We came out and got the big kickoff return and got the ball rolling. Our special teams were great all day and we ran the ball about as well as we can. The interception was a huge play and a great momentum swing.”

Delaware continued its control of the game in the final stanza as the Blue Hens got a Frank Raggo 32-yard field goal with 12:35 left to play and a sack by Bilal Nichols in the end zone for a safety sealed the victory. The safety was set up when Adderley downed a punt by Will Stephenson at the Albany two-yard line.

The Hens, who held possession for 13:18 in the final quarter, then got the ball back and ran out the clock. Delaware outgained Albany 53-8 in the third quarter and 89-7 in the final stanza.

HEN SCRATCHINGS
• Delaware won its first road game in four tries this season and won the road for the first time since a 14-7 victory at Elon in the 2015 season finale
• The 33 points were the most scored by Delaware on the road since a 35-34 loss to Villanova on Nov. 23, 2013
• Hills, who has missed three games due to injuries this year, recorded his third 100-yard rushing effort of the season and the seventh of his career. He rushed for over 200 yards twice earlier this season. “It’s been frustrating but I finally felt like myself today,” said Hills.
• The Hens did not throw an incompletion all day, going 8 for 8 as QB Joe Walker went 7 for 7 for 41 yards and WR Diante Cherry completed his only pass attempt of the day for 15 yards to Walker on a trick play
• Senior safety Simba Gwashavanhu made his first start of the season and responded with a team-high eight tackles and forced a fumble. He started in place of sophomore Ray Jones who missed his first career game due to an injury
• Delaware now has 15 interceptions this season, its highest total since the 2011 team picked off 18 passes
• Delaware faces a pair of challenges in its final two games. The Hens travel to No. 6 Richmond next Saturday and wrap up the season at home on Nov. 19 vs. No. 10 Villanova. Richmond fell to No. 7 James Madison 47-37 Saturday while Villanova knocked off Maine 26-7

SUBJECT: Wilmington Volleyball Wraps Up 2016 Nonconference Schedule with Losses to SNHU and SCSU

DATE: November 5, 2016
djl

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - - The Wilmington University volleyball team wrapped up its 2016 nonconference schedule by dropping a pair of matches at a Southern Connecticut State tri-match, falling 3-2 to Southern New Hampshire before falling 3-0 to host SCSU on Sunday afternoon in Pelz Gymnasium.

Set scores against Southern New Hampshire were 18-25, 25-27, 25-22, 25-17, and 9-15.

Set scores against Southern Connecticut State were 13-25, 17-25, and 21-25.

Senior Allison Briley narrowly missed her third career 20-20 performance in the days’ first match, producing a match high 20 kills while adding 19 digs in the near comeback.

Trailing 2-0 against the Penmen, the Wildcats continued to fight in the third set, jumping out to an 8-2 lead. The Penmen battled back to within 13-12 but Briley started a 3-0 run to regain control. A block by Emma Kongevold and Rebecca Rawlinson moved the Wildcats to 20-13 before Briley staved off a late Penmen comeback with a kill for the 25-22 victory.

Trailing 13-11 in the fourth set, the Wildcats rattled off four straight to take a 16-13 lead and never look back. The Penmen got to within 20-16, but Eile Harris started a 4-0 sprint with a kill before Megan Ward tied the match, 2-2, with a kill, 25-17.

The fifth set was tied at 9-9, but the Penmen rattled off three straight points on kills, forcing the Wildcats to call a timeout. The run continued out of the timeout, also scoring the final three points of the match for a game ending 6-0 run, 15-9.

Jenna Brown picked up the fourth most digs, 36, in a single match in program history while Briley added 19 and Jill Braunsberg chipped in with 12. Miranda Shaw dished out 20 assists while Braunsberg added 18 helpers. Harris got a hand on five block assists while adding a solo block. Rawlinson chipped in with four block assists and a solo block as well.

The Owls (15-18) were too much for the Wildcats in the nightcap, taking all three sets while holding the Wildcats to a .019 attack percentage as a team.

Briley led the team with seven kills while Harris added four kills as well. Brianna Cunha picked up a team high 15 digs in the nightcap while Jenna Brown chipped in with 12 more digs.

The Wildcats round out the 2016 season with two home games this week, returning to Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference play. The Wildcats host South Division rival Georgian Court on Tuesday night at the WU Athletics Complex with the first serve slated for 7:00 p.m.

Subject: Field Hockey Falls in OT to Shenandoah 2-1 of the ODAC Semifinals
To: "dawvoice3@gmail.com" <dawvoice3@gmail.com>

November 4, 2016

Lynchburg Va. – The Shenandoah Field Hockey team edged out the Lynchburg Hornets in an overtime thriller 2-1 on Shellenberger Field during the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) semifinal round. The loss knocks the Hornets out of the ODAC Tournament as they will have to wait until Monday to see if they qualify for the NCAA Tournament.

Shenandoah brought the pressure early and often as they had Lynchburg senior goalkeeper Beka Hess diving every which direction. The SU attack began right from the whistle when they got in the Hornet zone and drew a penalty corner that sent Hess diving to make a save followed by another team save off the rebound. Just a couple of minutes later Shenandoah took another penalty corner which was followed by three continuous saves for Hess. Shenandoah would break through the Hornet defense four minutes into the game when Taylor Little knocked in a rebound with Kayla Alderman getting the assist for SU.

Lynchburg would get its attack going during the 20th minute when sophomore Nikki Simpao fired a shot from the top of the point that grazed the Shenandoah's goalkeeper Jessica Brown's leg pad. Hess was able to keep the deficit at one goal when she made a filly sprawled out save during the 20th minute and the Hornets fed off the energy as junior Lacey Elliot attacked the net and ripped a shot that once again deflected off the keeper Alderman's leg pad. SU would take a 1-0 lead over Lynchburg heading into halftime as they held an 11-6 advantage in shots while Hess made eight saves.

Much like Shenandoah in the first half, Lynchburg came out of the half applying pressure to the Shenandoah defense. Simpao led the Hornet attack creating opportunities in from of the SU net but was unable to convert them to goals in the opening minutes. During the 30th minute Simpao had a goal disallowed as it struck the top left corner of the net but it was ruled too high. Just three minutes later sophomore Kayla Copeman assisted Simpao to give the Hornets their first goal of the game and even the game at one. The game saw physicality much like the last game when the teams picked up a combined four green cards in an eight-minute span during the 49th minute through the 57th minute. A defensive showing came about in the game's last 15 minutes of regulation before Lynchburg junior Karissa LeMaire took a penalty corner with the scoreboard showing zeroes. LeMaire would deliver the ball into the box where junior Hannah Krause would send a shot that went short and wide as the game was headed to overtime.

Shenandoah controlled the opening minutes of overtime before Morgan Payne took the periods first and last penalty corner where she found Taylor Hayes who buried the game winner at the 10:37 mark in overtime to end the game. Hess finished the game with nine saves with many of them being acrobatic while Shenandoah added five.

Shenandoah advances to play Washington & Lee for the ODAC championship tomorrow on Shellenberger Field with a start time of 6:30 p.m. Lynchburg will have to wait until Monday to see if they have done enough to earn an at-large NCAA tournament berth.

Fri, November 11, 2016
Dover, Del. (Nov. 11, 2016) --- Delaware State sophomore forward NaJai Pollard scored a career-high 24 points and led all players with 10 rebounds, but it was not enough in the Lady Hornets’ 90-71 season-opening loss to Detroit Mercy in Memorial Hall this evening.

The Titans’ Rosanna Reynolds tied Pollard for game-high honors with 29 points, highlighted by five-of-seven shooting on three-point shots. Reynolds also dished out five assists.

Mikah Aldridge was the only other Delaware State player in double figures with 12 points.

Pollard’s previous high was 26 points vs. Coppin State as a freshman during the 2015-16 season, which was highlighted by her selection as the MEAC Rookie-of-the-Year. The double-double was the ninth of her 31-game college career.

Detroit Mercy took control of the game during a five-minute stretch of the first period. The score was knotted at four when the Titans scored 18 of the next 21 points to open up a 22-7 lead. The visitors hit four of their 11 three-pointers during the rally.

Detroit Mercy led 27-12 at the end of the first quarter and 54-28 at the half.

Delaware State returns to action on Sunday at Drexel. Game time is 2 p.m. in Phiadelphia.

Dover, Del. (Nov. 11, 2016) --- Six players scored in double-figures to lead Delaware State to a 103-56 victory over Clarks Summitt in the Hornets’ 2016-17 opener this evening. Junior forward Kavon Waller led the way with 16 points on six-for eight shooting from the field, including four-of-six on three point shots. The four three-pointers matched his career-high.

Senior DeAndre Haywood added 14 points (6-10 FGs), while freshman Kobe Gantz and Artem Tavakalyan (jr.) came off the bench to also score 14.

Dana Raysor (jr.) tallied 13 points (4-7 FGs; 3-5 3pt.FG) and DeVaughn Mallory (so.) tacked on 10 points and a game-high eight rebounds.

The Hornets were 40-for-74 from the field (54.1%), including 11-of-21 on three point shots (52.4%).

Delaware State outrebounded the Defender 47-31.

The score was 20-20 midway through the first half before the Hornets took control. Mallory capped off a 24-9 run with a layup to give DSU a 44-29 lead with 3:36 left in the half.

The Hornets stretched their lead to 55-36 at the break.

Delaware State’s point total was its highest since a 107-48 victory over Cairn on Nov. 9, 2013. DSU’s 11 three-points were also its most since knocking down 12 against Summitt last season.

The Hornets are expected to have a much tougher test in its next contest on Sunday against visiting Texas Southern. Start time is scheduled for 2 p.m. in Memorial Hall.

SUBJECT: Second Half Comeback Gives Wilmington Men’s Basketball a 75-70 Victory over NYIT on Opening Day

DATE: November 12, 2016
djl

BROOKVILLE, N.Y. - - Trailing by 11 early in the second half, the Wilmington University men’s basketball team battled all the way back to defeat NYIT, 75-70, in the 2016-17 season opener in the LIU Post Tip-Off Tournament on Saturday afternoon in the Pratt Recreation Center.

The teams were tied, 36-36, at the halftime break, but a quick start to the second half allowed the Bears (0-1) to jump out in front of the Wildcats (1-0). A 7-0 run out the gates and another 8-0 spurt gave the Bears a 49-38 lead with 14:19 left in regulation, their largest lead of the afternoon.

Junior transfer Nick Richards ended the draught with a layup out of a Wilmington timeout, leading to a 7-0 run of their own to get back to within 49-45. Richards then scored back-to-back buckets to cut the deficit to 54-52 before Tyaire Ponzo-Meek tied the game at 54-54 with 8:44 to play. Richards gave the Wildcats their first lead of the second half, 57-56, with a three-pointer with 7:20 showing on the clock.

A Tajee Almon layup and ensuing free-throw put the Wildcats ahead, 63-60, and in the driver’s seat for the rest of the game. Dill-Pettiford laid one home before Ponzo-Meek hit a three-pointer to put the Wildcats ahead 68-60 with 4:27 remaining in the game. But the Bears weren’t done yet, responding with an 8-0 run of their own to come all the way back and tie the game with 1:20 to play.

Richards hit a free-throw to put the Wildcats back on top and Almon came up with a key steal with 44 seconds left. Ponzo-Meek let the shot clock run down before hitting a jumper with 25 seconds left for the three-point lead. The Bears missed their ensuing three-point attempt and Ponzo-Meek calmly stepped to the line and hit a pair for the 73-68 lead.

The Bears took the quick scoring option to cut it to 73-70, but Ponzo-Meek once again stepped up and hit both free throws to regain a five-point advantage. Richards secured a missed three-pointer to wrap up the 2016-17 season opener for both squads.

The full-court pressure seemed to be the difference for the Wildcats down the stretch, enabling the 11-point comeback in the second half. The Wildcats forced 12 turnovers in the second half, coming up with six of their nine steals after the break.

Richards led the Wildcats in his first game in the Green and White, scoring 25 points on 10-of-18 shooting, hitting 3-of-5 from beyond the three-point arc. He also tied Ponzo-Meek with a team high eight rebounds. Ponzo-Meek scored 11 of his 17 points in the second half, adding three assists and three steals as well. Adkins was the final Wildcat in double digits with 12 points.

The Wildcats remain on Long Island for another game tomorrow, squaring off against host LIU Post on Sunday with a 3:00 p.m. opening tip.

Lexi Bruno Reaches 1,000 Career Points in Goldey-Beacom Women’s Basketball’s Loss to American International


In one of the most anticipated milestones which seemed destined the moment she stepped foot on campus, junior Lexi Bruno (Millville, NJ/Millville) eclipsed 1,000 career points despite Goldey-Beacom being handed a 68-52 loss to American International in Philadelphia, PA.


Bruno, a first-team All-Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference pick last season and one of the nation’s most explosive players, broke the mark on a layup with 4:26 left in the second quarter to become the College’s eight player to reach this milestone. She finished with 28 points, two shy of her career best, on 11-of-17 shooting to go with five assists and four 3-pointers.


Bruno already was second in school history in assists (299) and third in 3-pointers (134) entering today. Her four steals over the two games this weekend puts her at 124, tied for sixth in team history.


In addition to being named last season the best Division II player under 5’5” by Hero Sports, Bruno in 2014-15 was picked the CACC Rookie of the Year, second team all-league and a member of the CACC All-Tournament Team.


A close game through the first 20 minutes went the Yellow Jackets’ way over the final 20, courtesy of a 33-22 half in which they went 12-for-17 from the line and the Lightning only 1-for-2. Alyssa Guyon scored 11 points in the half with Jayda Gilmore adding eight for AIC.


Junior Britani Bryson (Hampton, VA) closed the game with eight points and nine rebounds for the Lightning (0-2), who shot 42 percent (23-of-55) from the floor but only were 4-of-16 from three-point range.


Dana Watts had 20 points and 12 rebounds in going 12-for-13 from the stripe, Guyon scored 16 points, Gilmore netted 13 and Imani Stepney added 12 for the Yellow Jackets (1-1).


Goldey-Beacom plays its home and Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference opener Wednesday against Philadelphia U. as part of a doubleheader with the men’s team. The women’s game starts at 6:00 pm, which precedes the men’s 8:00 pm contest.




Goldey-Beacom Volleyball Ends Season With Tough 3-2 Loss to Chestnut Hill


Goldey-Beacom’s first five-set match all season did not go its way, culminating the year with a 3-2 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference loss (17-25, 25-20, 11-25, 25-22, 2-15) to Chestnut Hill at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.


The Griffins in the third set used seven kills and took advantage of eight Lightning errors to grab a 2-1 lead. The fourth set featured many ups and down on both sides and Goldey-Beacom garnered it thanks to 12 assists from sophomore Olivia Florence (Glen Allen, VA) and 16 kills as a unit.


But Chestnut Hill in the final set used a 7-0 run to begin things and a 7-0 run to end it. The Griffins had five kills and just one error in the stanza with the Lightning posting one and eight.


Senior Grace McCarthy (Middletown, DE/Delaware Military Academy) recorded career bests of 24 kills and 20 digs in her final match to go with a .293 hitting percentage. She ends her career third in school history with 932 kills, eighth with 103 aces and her 315 kills this season is the eighth-best mark in team annals.


It also was McCarthy’s eighth double-double of the season and fifth in the last seven matches.


Florence closed with 46 assists to go with 11 digs and finishes the season with 858 assists, the fourth-best total in one year for the Lightning. She is fourth in school history with 1,565 career assists.


Freshman Lindsay Przywara (Williamstown, NJ) had 13 kills and 11 digs for her seventh double-double of the campaign, junior Jada Canteen (Newark, DE) pounded 10 kills and freshman Makinsie Balderson (Fairfax, VA) notched 11 digs for the Lightning (11-15, 6-13 CACC).


Emily Koehler had 12 kills and a .500 percentage, Madison McBride notched 11 kills, Samantha Gelfan recorded 10 and Kennedy Sutton amassed 36 assists and 10 digs for the Griffins (13-15, 11-8).


Despite the loss, the Lightning recorded a four-win improvement in both their overall and conference records with 11 underclassmen on the roster.

NEWARK, Del. - - The 2016 Wilmington University volleyball season came to a close on a high note on Saturday, sweeping University of the Sciences, 3-0, in the WU Athletics Complex on Senior Day.

Set scores for the match were 25-16, 25-13, and 25-14.

The Wildcats (10-20, 7-12 CACC) honored its two seniors, Allison Briley and Megan Ward, prior to the start of the match on Saturday, and the senior repaid the team and the crowd by leading the Wildcats to victory. Briley led the team with 10 kills with only three errors for a .226 attack percentage while Ward added a career high nine kills with only one error and an outstanding .444 attack percentage.

WilmU broke a 13-13 tie with a 9-2 run, extending a 16-15 lead into a 22-15 lead late in the first game. Three straight Devil (6-17, 4-15 CACC) errors gave the Wildcats the opening game, 25-16.

The Wildcats started the second set on an 8-3 run before another 6-0 spurt opened the game to 14-5. The Devils closed the gap to 20-12, but Rebecca Rawlinson ended the skid with a kill. Deja Stanek and Hailey Runowski put down back-to-back kills before Jill Braunsberg ended game two with an ace, 25-13.

Trailing 6-5 in the third set, the Wildcats took the set over with a 6-0 run, getting a solo block from Rawlinson for the 11-6 lead. The Wildcats scored two points to the Devils’ one for the bulk of the third game before four consecutive points for the home team ended the set, 25-14, and the match, 3-0.

Nine different Wildcats recorded a kill in the season finale, as the team hit .239 for the match. The defense was even more impressive, as it held the Devils to a negative .008 attack percentage as the Wildcats had four players with double digit digs and collected 11 total blocks.

Jenna Brown led all players with 22 digs while Jill Braunsberg added 12. Briley finished with 11 digs while Miranda Shaw collected 10 more. Rawlinson was a monster at the net, denying three Devil attacks by herself and got a hand on five more block assists. Briley assisted on four blocks while Eile Harris chipped in with three block assists.

Briley ends her career as the program’s all-time career leader in kills (1,367), attempts (4,370), points (1,517.5), and seventh in digs (1,176).

SPARKILL, N.Y. - - The Wilmington University women’s basketball team couldn’t climb out of an early hole in the 2016-17 season opener on Saturday, falling to host St. Thomas Aquinas, 90-73, in the STAC Tip-Off Classic in Aquinas Hall Gymnasium.

A slow start to the game caught the Wildcats (0-1) off guard and they needed to battle from behind the rest of the way. The Spartans (0-1) raced out to a 29-12 lead at the end of the first quarter. The teams were all square 61-61 in the final three quarters of play.

The glass was the difference in the first quarter, as the Spartans were able to outrebound the Wildcats, 13-5, including a 4-0 advantage on the offensive boards. The Spartans went 11-of-19 from the floor in the opening quarter including hitting all three of their three-pointes to jump out to the large lead. The Wildcats only had two less attempts at the basket in the quarter, but only shot 6-of-17 from the floor.

It was the final three minutes of the first quarter where the Spartans made their mark, after a Jocelyn Rodriguez layup brought the Wildcats to within 13-12 with 3:29 left in the quarter. The Spartans rattled off the remaining 16 points, including two three-pointers, a three-point play, and a steal and a fastbreak layup at the buzzer for the 29-19 lead.

Down by as many as 21 points in the quarter, a Macy Robinson layup brought the Wildcats to within 39-27 with 2:01 to play until the half. But the Spartans closed out the quarter on another 8-5 spurt to carry their 17-point lead into the halftime break.

The Wildcats shot 44.4 percent from the field in the third quarter and started off on a 6-0 run to get to within 47-36. A Rodriguez layup brought the Wildcats to within nine-points for the first time since the first quarter, 49-40, with 5:46 to play in the third. A Robinson three-pointer an Ebonee Dixon jumper had the Wildcats as close as close as 56-49, but the Spartans were once again able to stem the tide at the end of the frame. The Spartans closed the quarter on a mini 5-3 run to lead 63-52.

Still down 66-55 early in the fourth, the Wildcats ran out of gas on the comeback trail as the Spartans seven straight to start a 19-3 run to put the game out of range.

The Wildcats had four players in double digits, led by junior transfer LaShyra Williams’ 18 points. Williams shot 5-of-13 including hitting two of three from three-point range. Dixon scored 11 of her 15 points in the first half, finishing 7-of-12 from the floor to go along with four steals. Robinson went 5-of-13 from the floor while hitting two three-pointers for 12 points, while Rodriguez collected 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting to go along with a team high four assists. Amani Graham led the team with seven rebounds off the bench.

The Wildcats remain in New York for another game on Sunday, closing out the STAC Tip-Off Classic with a contest against Molloy. The opening tip is slated for 1:00 p.m.

SUBJECT: Men’s Basketball Starts 2-0 For First Time with 83-77 Victory over LIU Post

DATE: November 13, 2016
djl

BROOKVILLE, N.Y. - - The Wilmington University men’s basketball team climbed out of a nine-point deficit early in the second half to come back and defeat LIU Post, 83-77, to close out the LIU Post Tip-Off Tournament on Sunday afternoon in the Pratt Recreation Center.

The Pioneers (0-2) held a five-point lead at the halftime break, and distanced the lead out to as many as nine points early in the second half. But the Wildcats eventually took the lead with 5:30 left in regulation and held on for the comeback victory. It is the first time in the program’s NCAA era (2004-05 season) that the Wildcats have started the season 2-0.

The host Pioneers held their largest lead of the game late in the first half, jumping out to a 35-22 lead with a little over three minutes to play before the break. But an Omari Dill-Pettiford tip-in sparked an 11-3 spurt for the Wildcat to close out the half, cutting the deficit to 38-33 with a Tyaire Ponzo-Meek jumper with 22 seconds remaining.

The halftime break came at the wrong time for the Wildcats, as the momentum they created just before the stoppage did not come back onto the court with them in the second half. The Pioneer lead grew to as large as nine points on a Jemal Mosley three-pointer, 48-39, with 15:21 to play.

A Dill-Pettiford three-pointer followed by a Masner Beauplan layup brought the Wildcats to within 53-52, before Drew Johnson hit a pair of free throws to tie the game at 56-56 with 10:43 left in regulation. But the Wildcats couldn’t get over the hump just yet, as the Pioneers regained a 63-58 lead with 7:32 left.

Ponzo-Meek hit a three-pointer followed by a pair from the foul line from Beauplan to tie the game at 63. That was five points of an 8-0 run for the Wildcats, as Paul Medlin put back a missed three-pointer, and converted the ensuing foul shot, for the team’s first lead since 2-0.

The Pioneers cut the deficit to a single point on three occasions, but the Wildcats responded each time, the last with a Nick Richards layup with 1:54 left to put the visitors up 72-69.

Out of a timeout, the Pioneers missed a game-tying three-pointer and an offensive put back dunk attempt before Medlin grabbed a defensive rebound. An LIU Post technical foul with 49 seconds remaining put Ponzo-Meek on the line and he calmly sank both for the 74-69 lead.

LIU Post hit a three-pointer with 37 seconds left but the Wildcats went 7-of-10 from the foul line the rest of the way to secure the victory.

Ponzo-Meek and Richards each scored a team high 20 points and two steals while Ponzo-Meek finished with a team high nine rebounds. Beauplan came off the bench to score 14 points while Dill-Pettiford finished with 11 points as a reserve as well. Tajee Almon collected four blocked shots while Medlin backed him up with three denials as well.

Another slow start loomed large for the Wildcats (0-2), as they found themselves down 16 points at the halftime break. Momentum swung in favor of the Wildcats with a 26-16 third quarter, closing the gap to as few as two points early in the fourth quarter. But the Lions (2-0) held on and extended the lead back out for the 17-point victory.

Trailing by 13 late in the third quarter, Macy Robinson and Jocelyn Rodriguez scored five-straight points to start a run for the Wildcats. Another Robinson three-pointer brought the Wildcats to within 54-50 with 36 seconds left in the quarter before heading into the final frame down just 56-50.

Rodriguez started the fourth quarter with a layup and a jumper to bring the Wildcats to within 56-54 with 8:14 to play, but the Lions responded with a 7-0 run to stem the tide. Another 12-0 run moments later pushed the Lions’ lead back out to 75-56 before settling on the final score, 80-63.

The Wildcats shot 5-of-16 from the field in the first quarter, missing all five three-pointers in finding themselves down 25-10 after 10 minutes of play. The offense started to click in the second quarter, as the Wildcats shot 7-of-14 from the floor, but continued to trail on the scoreboard, 40-24, at the half.

Robinson led the Wildcats with 16 points on the day, shooting 5-of-9 from the field, including 4-of-8 form three-point territory. LaShyra Williams scored 12 points on 6-of-14 shooting while grabbing a team high seven rebounds. Ebonee Dixon finished with 11 points and five rebounds while Rodriguez was the fourth Wildcat in double digits with 10 points and a team high four assists.

The Wildcats remain on the road for another game to start the season, as they head to LIU Post on Wednesday. Opening tip is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. in Brookville, N.Y.

Dr. Thomas M. Brennan, who has built a highly successful career in collegiate athletics on the Division I level, has been hired by Goldey-Beacom College to be its next Director of Athletics.


Brennan arrives after spending the last 16 years as the Director of Athletics at La Salle University. His bevy of accomplishments include raising athletic revenues during the last three years by over 100 percent, major enhancements to all of the Explorers’ athletic facilities and seeing the student-athletes exceed the NCAA average for graduation rates and grade-point average.


He also served during that time as a board member for the Sport Changes Life Foundation, the Philadelphia Sports Congress, Big Brothers Big Sisters, the National Consortium for Academics and Sports, Special Olympics and the American Cancer Society.


Brennan also was the Director of Athletics at San Jose State University from 1990-97. He increased the annual fund by 250 percent, raised over $25 million during a five-year period to support capital projects, help build a new field house, more than doubled the Spartans’ graduation rate, received national recognition for institutional efforts to promote gender equity and helped the University gain entrance into the Western Athletic Conference.


He also lent a hand during that time with the San Jose Mayor’s Gang Task Force, the Adopt a School Partnership, the San Jose Unified School District, the San Jose Rotary Club and the San Jose State University Institute for Social Responsibility.


Brennan’s first post as Director of Athletics took place from 1986-90 at Loyola College in Maryland. He introduced the Athletic Fund Development and Corporate Partners Program, saw the student-athletes’ graduation rate exceed the College’s rate and led the Greyhounds to entry into the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.


He also was on the State Board of Director for the Maryland Special Olympics during this time.


Brennan also was the Associate Athletics Director for Academic Affairs at the University of New Mexico from 1983-86, the Assistant Athletics Director for Programs for UNM from 1980-83 and the Academic Coordinator for Student-Athletes at Syracuse University from 1976-80. During his time at New Mexico, he helped the department gain recognition on 60 Minutes and in Sports Illustrated for enhancements in academic support and with NCAA compliance.


In announcing the appointment, GBC President, Dr. Gary L. Wirt, praised Brennan’s accomplishments, saying, “Tom will bring a powerful resume with him from La Salle University. His extensive knowledge of intercollegiate athletics, coupled with a proven track record in enhancing the academic achievement of student-athletes can have a powerful impact on our campus. He brings a keen and analytic eye for talent, but understands the importance of academics, and ultimately, graduation. Out campus is extremely excited about his arrival.”


"With the selection of Tom Brennan, Goldey-Beacom College is welcoming an effective and experienced college athletics administrator who has been successful at each of his previous stops,” GBC Dean of Students and former Director of Athletics Chuck Hammond said. “It was a pleasure to learn more about Tom during our search process and we are confident that he be able to elevate our Athletic Programs. I would like to welcome Tom and his wife Ellen to the college community.”


“I am delighted to be joining Goldey-Beacom College as its Athletics Director and really as a member of the Goldey-Beacom family,” Brennan said. “I was struck, in particular, by the dedication and the commitment of senior leadership with whom I met, including President Gary L. Wirt, Executive Vice President Kristine Santomauro and Dean of Students Chuck Hammond. Goldey-Beacom is a special place that emphasizes opportunity, a quality education and a true concern for student achievement and student welfare. It is my sense that our best years are ahead of us. A solid foundation has been established for Athletics. And it is now my intention to provide the energy, the enthusiasm and the leadership necessary to insure that Athletics grows as it also remains true to mission and contributes to the life and the vitality of the college.”


Brennan graduated Le Moyne College in 1974 with a B.A. in English, earned his Master of Arts in Higher Education Administration from Syracuse University in 1975 and his doctorate of Education in Higher Education Administration from Syracuse in 1982.


Brennan replaces Hammond, who on November 1 began work as the College’s Dean of Students. Hammond took over for Bernadette Wimberley, who on October 31 retired after working at Goldey-Beacom College for 32 years.


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’s championship season has placed the squad third in the first NCAA East Region poll of the year with one doubles team and two singles players joining the ranks.


Goldey-Beacom (9-0, 7-0 CACC) this fall captured its first Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference title with a 5-1 victory over Post and clinched its sixth trip to the NCAA Tournament. The East Regional will be held on two consecutive days to be determined, ranging from April 29-May 2, 2017.


In addition to the team notoriety, seniors Nina Sengl (Puchheim, Germany) and Francesca Beg (Westbury, England) are ranked tied for 10th in doubles, Lea Schmuecker (Marburg, Germany) is 15th in singles and fellow freshman Anna Hortelano Pey (Castelldefels, Spain) is 17th.


Sengl and Beg had an impeccable fall in which they went 9-0, all at first doubles. The duo, both picked second team All-CACC, in five of the pro sets did not lose more than four games.


Sengl last year received the conference's Women's Tennis Top XV Award for having the best GPA among those participating at the league championship and in September was picked the CACC Student-Athlete of the Month. She also is fourth in school history with 42 career doubles victories and tied for fourth with 40 singles triumphs.


It was Beg who in 2015 won the clinching match against Chestnut Hill that secured Goldey-Beacom's 5-3 victory in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the first such head-to-head win by any team in school history. GBC ended that season ranked 31st in the country and with a school-record 18 victories.


Schmuecker was picked second team all-league, closing the fall with a 3-1 singles record by winning her first three matches in straight sets. She also went 3-3 at second doubles, winning three of her four matches teamed with junior Raquel Morais (Belo Horizonte, Brazil).


Hortelano Pey was tabbed first team All-CACC during a year in which she made a noticeable impact. She recorded a 5-1 singles record that includes 4-0 at No. 2 singles, won her first five matches of the season with all in straight sets and only dropped a combined five games over each of the last two wins.


The Lightning’s record marks the best start in program history after beginning 8-0 in 2010-11. Their league mark also is a team record and marked the first time the squad had been the top seed in the CACC Tournament.

NEWARK, Del. - - A trio of Wilmington University women’s soccer members were named to the 2016 D2CCA Women’s Soccer All-East Region Second Team on Wednesday, as voted on by the region’s sports information directors.

Teigha Ward (Ilion, N.Y./Central Valley Academy), Rebecca Dolhansky (Blackwood, N.J./Triton), and Melissa Gall (Marlton, N.J./Cherokee) were all named Second Team All-East Region after leading the Wildcats on the field during the 2016 season.

The trio led the Wildcats to an 11-8 overall record and the fifth seed in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament with an 8-4 record. The Wildcats advanced to the CACC Tournament Semifinals for the first time since the 2012 season.

Ward led the team and finished second in the CACC with 27 points in her first season as a Wildcat. She tied for the team lead with 10 goals on the year, but added seven assists to only finish two points behind the CACC leader who collected 29 points. Ward also led the team with 39 shots on the year, putting a team leading 23 of them on frame. Her five game-winning goals also rank second in the CACC. She tied a single match program record with four goals against Concordia on October 15.

Dolhanksy set the offense up this season, leading the team and setting second in CACC with 10 assists on the year. She finished third on the team with 14 points, scoring two goals while adding her 10 assists. She had a stretch of dishing out one assist in four straight and five of six games from September 14 to October 1. She scored a game-winner at Post while dishing out a season high two assists against Millersville on October 20.

Gall anchored the defense for the Wildcats, starting all 18 of her games on the year. She finished fifth on the team in points as well, scoring four goals while adding one assist. Gall was a target on set pieces throughout the year, scoring two off blasts from in front of the goal (one penalty-kick) while also scoring a pair off corner kicks.

It is the first time for all three Wildcats to be named All-Region in their careers. All three Wildcats were also named First Team All-CACC earlier this season.

NaJai Pollard poured in career-high 38 points in DSU's 91-80 loss to Lehigh
Bethlehem, Pa. (Nov. 16, 2016) --- Delaware State sophomore forward Najai Pollard was on course for a school record-setting game to help the Lady Hornets build a double-digit lead, but was straddled by foul trouble and Lehigh took advantage in a 91-80 victory over DSU in a women’s basketball contest at Stabler Arena today.

Pollard finished with a career-high 38 points, tying for the third-best single-game total in team history. The school record for points in a game is 40 by Sabrina Leonard in 1983. Two other players have scored 39 points in a game for the Lady Hornets.

Pollard also led all players with 12 rebounds to record her second double-double of the season and 10th in 32 collegiate games.

The Richmond, Va., native was 14-for-17 from the field (82.3%) and 10-of-15 at the free throw line. Pollard set her previous career-high of 29 points last Friday (Nov. 11) against Detroit Mercy.

Behind 21 points by Pollard and 10 from Mikah Aldridge, the Lady Hornets opened up a 39-27 lead after capping off a 12-2 run with 3:34 left in the second quarter.

Lehigh used a late first half rally to cut DSU’s lead to 41-36 at the break.

Delaware State (0-3) was ahead 46-42 when Pollard picked up her fourth foul with 6:46 remaining in the third quarter. She had 26 points at the time.

Lehigh (2-1) was ahead 63-59 when she returned to the game with 8:58 left to play.

The Mountain Hawks upped their lead to 75-66 on a jumper by Kieman McCloskey with 5:53 left to play, and was ahead by as many as 12 with less than three minutes to play.

Mikah Aldridge was the only other Delaware State player in double figures with a season-high 16 points. She also led all players with four steals.

Quinci Mann led four Lehigh players in double figures with 21 points.

Delaware State had a season-best 43.7% field goal percentage (31-for-71), but was outshot by Lehigh, which hit 27-of-55 shots from the floor (49.1%), including 11-of-23 from three-point range (47.8%).

The Lady Hornets were six-of-19 from beyond the arc (31.6%).

Delaware State held a 42-34 rebound advantage, but had 19 fewer free throw attempts (38-19) and 14 less conversions from the line (26-12). DSU committed 20 turnovers to 16 for Lehigh.

The Lady Hornets continue a seven-game road swing on Sunday (Nov. 20) at Wagner. Game time is 1 p.m. in Staten Island, N.Y. DSU is not home until Dec. 11 against NJIT (1 p.m.).

STINGERS
Pollard has scored 74 points in DSU’s three contests for a 24.0 point per game average … the 80 points marked a season high for the Lady Hornets … the contest started at 11 a.m. as Lehigh held its annual Education Day … some four thousand local school kids were in attendance.

SUBJECT: Delaware Women’s Soccer Head Coach Scott Grzenda Announces Resignation After 27 Seasons

DATE: November 16, 2016

NEWARK, Del. -- University of Delaware Director of Intercollegiate Athletics & Recreation Services Chrissi Rawak announced Wednesday that longtime women’s soccer head coach Scott Grzenda has resigned his position.

Grzenda recently completed his 27th season at the post as the only head coach in Delaware women’s soccer history.

“I would like to thank Mary Ann Hitchens for hiring me all those years ago and all those who played for me and coached with me over the years,” said Grzenda. “I’ve loved them all.”

“I want to thank Scott for his many years of hard work, loyalty, and service to his alma mater and wish him and his family the best moving forward,” said Rawak. “We will begin a search immediately to find the best candidate to fill this important role and continue the legacy that Scott created when he started our women’s soccer program nearly three decades ago.”

Grzenda (pronounced “gruh-zenda”) compiled a career record of 241-215-45 (.526). Delaware finished as America East runners-up in 1994-96 and advanced to the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament semifinals twice, most recently in 2011.

He was named league coach of the year three times and coached eight all-region players, seven all-district academic selections, and 42 all-conference players.

The Blue Hens posted a record of 4-13-1 this past fall and placed eighth in the CAA standings with a mark of 3-5-1. Among the team’s wins was a 2-1 victory over eventual CAA champion and NCAA Tournament participant Northeastern. Delaware also tied CAA runner-up Drexel in the final game of the season.

A 1987 graduate of Delaware and a native of Trenton, N.J., Grzenda was a three-time All-East Coast Conference selection at midfield for the Blue Hens from 1984-86 and earned all-region honors during his playing days.

He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Lynchburg (Va.) College before starting the varsity program at Delaware in 1990.

NEWARK, Del. - - The Wilmington University men’s soccer team place two student-athletes on the 2016 CCA Division II All-East Region Second Team announced on Wednesday, as voted on by the region’s sports information directors.

Senior Geoff Velasquez (New Castle, Del./William Penn) and freshman Lorne Bickley (St. Helier, Jersey/De La Salle College) were voted All-East Region Second Team for their performance on the field throughout the 2016 season.

Velasquez and Bickley led the Wildcats to a 12-6-1 overall record and the third seed in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament with a 7-4-1 conference record. The Wildcats advanced to the CACC Tournament Semifinals for the fifth straight year.

Velasquez has been a four-year starter as an outside back for the Wildcats, this year being named a team captain. He anchored the defense while repeatedly joining in on the attack as well. He finished sixth on the team with seven points, scoring all three of his penalty kick chances while also adding one assist on the year. He leaves the program with the most games played and started (82) in program history, as well as the most minutes played in a career, by far. It is the first time in his career that he has earned All-Region recognition.

Bickley was named the CACC Rookie of the Year after leading the team and finishing second in the CACC with 12 goals and 29 points. He tied the program’s all-time rookie record with 12 goals in a season, tying the Wildcats’ all-time leading scorer Sargbah Tarpeh’s freshman season in 2006. He scored two goals and added an assist in his first collegiate appearance on September 7 against the District of Columbia, and totaled a season high five points again with two goals and an assist against Holy Family on September 27. He was named the CACC Rookie of the Week four times this season.

Both Velasquez and Bickley were First Team All-CACC members in 2016.

LIU Post’s Charlie Ledule was named the 2016 CCA Division II East Region Player of the Year after leading the East Coast Conference (ECC) with 18 goals and 42 points.

SUBJECT: Wilmington Men’s Basketball Off to Best Start; Downs Pace, 75-65, in 2016-17 Home Opener

DATE: November 16, 2016
djl

NEWARK, Del. - - A late first half push carried the Wilmington University men’s basketball team to a 75-65 nonconference victory over Pace on Wednesday night at the WU Athletics Complex in the Wildcats’ 2016-17 home opener.

The win pushes the Wildcats to 3-0 on the year, a mark that hasn’t been done in the program’s NCAA era starting with the 2004-05 season. It was also the team’s first win in a home opener since the 2013-14 season.

The Wildcats scored their 10th point of the game with 17:18 remaining in the first half, but didn’t score again until 11:11 showing on the clock. They had their four-point lead turn into a 15-10 deficit during the drought, but it was all Wilmington for the rest of the half once they broke out.

A person 7-0 by sophomore Omari Dill-Pettiford sparked the Wildcats, regaining a 17-15 lead with his fastbreak layup with 10:19 remaining in the half. Drew Johnson started another 10-0 run with a three-pointer for the Wildcats, followed by a Masner Beauplan three-pointer moments later. Nick Richards laid one home for the 27-20 lead with 5:31 left before the break.

Drew Johnson II hit a three-pointer for a 32-22 lead before sinking another one form distance for the 35-24 lead with 2:05 to play. Richards capped the first half scoring by pick-pocketing a Setter (2-1) player and taking the ball the length of the quart for a fast break dunk and the 37-26 halftime lead.

The Setters clawed to within 43-39, but the Wildcats had an answer with four straight points of their own. Tajee Almon had some thunderous second half dunks to keep the crowd involved, first off a steal and fast break alley-oop from Tyaire Ponzo-Meek for the 51-44 lead.

But Pace again closed the gap to as few as four points at 59-55, but the Wildcats never relinquished the lead, scoring the next six points to regain momentum. Almon put a stamp on the Setters as a part of that 6-0 run, again getting out on the run and getting a nice one-touch pass from Dill-Pettiford for the slam, 65-55, with 4:39 left in regulation.

The Wildcats crashed the boards hard on Wednesday night, out-rebounding the Setter, 52-39, including 18-11 on the offensive glass.

Richards led the Wildcats with a double-double, scoring 10 points but leading the team with 11 rebounds and five assists. Ponzo-Meek poured in 18 points while Johnson finished with three three-pointers and 16 points overall. Dill-Pettiford came off the bench to put in 13 points and grab six rebounds. Almon finished with six points, nine rebounds, two steals, and two blocks off the bench for the Wildcats.

The Wildcats have no time to rest on their victory on Wednesday, as they are back on the court once again on Thursday night. They head to NCAA Division I foe Morgan State for a 7:30 p.m. tip-off in Baltimore, Md.

DATE: November 17, 2016

NEWARK, Del. - - The Wilmington University women’s basketball team held off a hard charging Puerto Rico-Bayamon down the stretch, 70-67, to pick up their first victory of the 2016-17 season on Thursday night at the WU Athletics Complex in the team’s home opener.

The Wildcats (1-3) outscored the Cowgirls (2-2), 18-11, in the third quarter to open the fourth and final frame with a 10-point lead, 52-42, but the Wildcats needed to hold off the Cowgirls down the stretch for their first victory of the season.

Out of the halftime break, the Cowgirls closed the gap to as few as 40-38 with 5:07 to play in the quarter, but it was all Wilmington from there. Jocelyn Rodriguez started a 6-0 run with a jumper before Ebonee Dixon and Macy Robinson followed with back-to-back bucket to reopen a 46-38 lead.

Dixon drove to the hole for a layup with 28 seconds left before LaShyra Williams closed out the third quarter with another layup at the buzzer, moving into the final quarter with a 52-42 lead.

Back-to-back layups from Jamiere Jefferies and Robinson extended the Wildcats’ lead to the largest of the game at 58-43 with 8:02 remaining in regulation.
