1997 02 Sports.Pdf Fcctball Coming off a terrific 1995 season the Blue Hens re- turned to the field facing a challenge of holding on to the Yankee Conference Title. With twelve senior letter winners returning, the football team set their goals high. Opening the 1996 season at home against Lehigh Uni- versity, the Blue Hens came out with an awesome rush- ing and passing attack, eventually winning the game 49-7. The offense and defense played with a certain magic. Unfortunately, that magic did not last when the Hens were shut out by Villanova the following week. Af- ter being drilled in practice, the Hens rolled to a six game winning streak. This gave the team five conference wins over Maine, Boston University, Richmond, Northeast- em, and JMU, and a non-conference win over West Ch- ester. The Blue Hens took over first place in the Yankee Conference and headed to Williamsburg, VA to face William and Mary. The team suffered their second loss of the season, losing a close game in overtime 10-7. This dropped the Hens down a notch as they prepared for Division I-A Navy. After losing in a noble effort, the Blue Hens returned home with a 7-3 record and facing a must win situation. A loss would knock them out of the playoff picture. Rhode Island was coming to town seeking revenge for last year's loss to Delaware in the Yankee Conference title game. After a long and hard battle, UD pulled out a victory and finished the regular season with an 8-3 record. After waiting a week for an invitation to the playoff tournament, Delaware found themselves as the fifteenth seed and facing the second ranked team Marshall. The Blue Hens practiced hard and headed to Huntington, WV thinking upset. Unfor- tunately, the Marshall team was just too powerful, de- feating the Blue Hens 59-14. Season honors went to: Kenny Bailey, first team All-ECAC and first team All- Yankee Conference; Chris Kumpn, second team All- ECAC and first team All-Yankee Conference; Brian Smith, second team All-ECAC and first team All-Yan- kee Conference; Dorrell Green, first team All-Yankee Conference; Mark Hondru, first team All-Yankee Con- ference, and Eddie Conti, second team All-Yankee Con- ference wide receiver and third team All-Yankee kick return specialist.

With a 2-1 record the team was waiting to take glory in the all new America East Conference. September brought conference foes New Hampshire and Maine to Delaware stadium. After a tough week of battling the Hens split the games with a win over New Hampshire and a loss to Maine. With a 3-2 record and a 1 -1 conference record, the field hockey team went back to prac- ticing the basics and prepare themselves for a three game road trip. They had wins over West Chester and CJrsinus and a close loss to nationally ranked Princeton. Despite the loss the Blue Hens improved to 5-3 on the year and readied them- selves for important America East competition. With easy wins over Towson State and Vermont and another close loss to Northeastern, the team was flying high. The end of October and the be- ginning of November brought two important con- ference games against Hofstra and Drexel. The Blue Hens came away with two more very tough victories. This left them ranked fourth in the America East heading into the tournament where they would face Boston University. With a tough loss the season came to an end with the Blue Hens finishing 13-6 on the year and 5-2 in the America East. First team All-America East hon- ors went to Becky Wolf and Second team All- America East honors went to Melissa Hefner, Kel- ly Crawley and Jodi Byrd. With a strong 1996 season under their belts the University of Dela- ware field hockey team will be equally as pow- erful in 1997.

Field Hockey 87 Women's Volleyball After losing the NAC Championship game last year, the Blue Hen Volleyball team worked on their basics to set a name for themselves in the new America East Conference. This year's squad was made up of fourteen girls and led by seniors Karen Kunselman, Erika Falkowski, and Beth Van Rayper. After a hard and exhausting presea- son, the team was ready to spike into action. The end of August brought the start of the season where the Blue Hens placed fourth in the ECAC Tournament. September brought a downhill slide where the team found themselves with a 10-14 record. Head coach, Barbara Viera, would not let her team die. In the months of October and No- vember, the Blue Hens played with an angel on their side. They posted a 12-3 record and Karen Kunselman was named Blue Hen Player of the Week on October 13. With this enthusiasm, the women's volleyball team took a 22-17 record in- to the America East Tournament held at Towson State. The Blue Hens drew a first round game against Northeastern where they glided to a 3-0 win. A fired up team played Towson State next and glided to another 3-0 victory. This win put the Blue Hens in the America East Championship game against Hofstra. Overcoming a rocky start to the season, the girls did set a name for them- selves claiming a second place in the America East Conference. They lost to Hofstra 1 -3.

    Jack Grinold, Director Office of Sports Infonnation Northeastern University, 360 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02115 (6 17) 373 -269 1. (61 7) 373-3 152 (fax) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: DEC. 18, 1995 HOPKINS CAREER ENDS AT NORTHEASTERN Mark Hopkins, of Plainfield, N.J., is officially no longer a Northeastern University athlete. After spending the past four years in a dual role of baseball outfielder and football cornerback, Hopkins' eligibility has finally expired. He went out in style, earning yet another varsity letter as one of the standouts of Barry Gallup's gridiron gang. The Huskies recently completed a 4-7 campaign. Hopkins was once again among the Yankee Conference's top defensive backs, picking off a team-high five passes while recording 46 tackles in 1995. He led the conference in interceptions in 1 994 and finished fourth this season. His most productive afternoon came on Sept. 23 when he helped fuel an NU comeback against Massachusetts, making a season-high 1 3 stops and adding an interception. He was the leader of NU's secondary, which surrendered a league-low average of 1 36.6 passing yards per game. Against UMass, NU allowed the Minutemen a mere 23 yards through the air. Hopkins batted .329 over 46 games and led the Huskies in hits (51) this past spring for Coach Neil McPhee's baseball bunch. NU will miss Hopkins' aggressive style, both on the basepaths (54 career stolen bases) and in the secondary (1 6 career interceptions). He holds the NU single-season record for stolen bases, swiping 27 in 1 994.

The reason: the program was discontinued twice, once between 1910 and 1920, an absence of 10 seasons, and again between 1929 and 1935, an absence of six additional seasons. Reasons for the interruptions varied, ranging from finances to a lack of local opponents (Maine was the only college in the state to have a team in the mid- 1920s), to facility problems. The program was “re-born” for good in 1935, although only a single game was played in the ’35-‘36 season. It is worth noting that Bill Kenyon, a veteran coach of other UM teams, volunteered to coach the team without compensation in order to get the program reinstated. He continued to do so for six more years even though his salary did not reflect his additional duties! It is also interesting to note that while a varsity basketball program was absent for 16 seasons, the University sponsored a freshman team during those years, primarily due to the availability of local opponents in the form of high schools and prep schools where basketball was gaining a strong degree of interest.
