Seniors Lead Team To 3rd Place Division Finish straight year. Nine seniors lead the Blue Hens during the season: Daryl Brown, Pat Hulhern, Matt Smith, Chris Moore, Doug Flower, Rob Higbee, Jason Sluser, Greg Ventresca, and Mike Sye. Daryl Brwon ended an outstanding collegiate career with 4,587 rushing yards, 50 career touchdowns, and 308 career points. He set 14 school records and made 3 NCAA I-AA playoff appearances. Pat Hulhern closed his career by starting his 50th career game to tie the university record and earned All- Yankee honors at linebacker in 1992 and 1993. A few freshman made names for themselves this year. Ralph D'Angelo broke the university record for freshman single season tackles with 126 tack- les. Norman Coleman finished with 8.7 yards per carry. Courtney Batts set school records for yards receiving in a game (206 yards), in a season (691 yards) and pass reception in a season (27 passes). Freshman placekicker Sean Leach hit 29 straight extra points. Scott White ranked fourth among Yankee Conference punters. As , the Blue Hens head coach, celebrated his 26th win- ning season of the 30 seasons he has been head coach, Blue Hen fans could not help but give credit to him and each player for such a successful year. — Shelley Straight

It was clear that the team, which gained 13 new players this year, had gelled and was looking towards bigger and better accomplishments.

The Hens were led by tri-captains Dan Shultz, Andy Bullard, and Chris Mc- Gowan. Bullard was also named to the All-Star team in the William and Mary tournament, where the team faced some of its toughest opponents. Sophomore forward Steve Meldrom proved to be an outstanding player as well, ending the season as the team's leading goal scorer.

Head Coach Steve Steinwedel, who led Delaware to NCAA tournament appearances in 1992 and 1993, announced his resignation within weeks of the team's last loss.

Hens endure so-so season However, the Hens record didn't really show half of the effort they put into the season. Of the 15 games they lost, nine were within four points, including three games that went into overtime. The season started promisingly enough, with an 82-80 overtime win against DelState, where Brian Pearl's last second three point shot sent the game into overtime. They also recorded a surprise win over eventual NCAA qualifier Weber State the next week at the UC Santa Barbara Gaucho Clas- sic. Other impressive wins included a stomping of powerhouse Northeastern 87-58, and a thrilling, last minute win over rival Drexel at the last home game. However, in other games, close just wasn't good enough as the Hens fell to several NAC rivals and ended the season with a 12-15 record. As always, the season included some standout individual performances. Senior guard Brian Pearl ended his Delaware career with 14 school records, ranked number two on the all-time assist list (501), and number three in scoring with 1,532 career points. He also led the Hens in scoring, averaging 14.8 ppg. Peca Arsic, the sophomore transfer from West Virginia, led the team and the NAC in three point scoring. He averaged 14.4 ppg.

156 Sports Thanks to their opening with two big wins over Rider and West Chester, competing strongly all season, and finishing in third place in the NAC, the men's swimming and diving team had plenty to feel good about. As always in an individual sport such as swimming, several Hens stood out. Senior David Caffo swept two events in the North Atlantic Conference champion-

Hens earn 3rd place NAC finish ships, winning both the 1 meter and 3 meter diving competitions by large margins. Caffo, the first Delaware diver ever to pass the 300 point mark in an event (he won both diving competitions at NAC's with over 400 points), went on to the ECAC championships, where he took 7th in the 1 meter and 8th in the 3 meter. Caffo was joined at ECAC's by teammate Mike Riccitelli, who took 13th in the 1,650 freestyle event. He took second in this event at NAC's with a time of 16:17.18. He also took home a silver medal in the 500 freestyle. Sophomore Josh Smith proved himself to be an up and coming superstar as well. At NAC's he tied for second in the 200 meter backstroke, took fourth in the 400 individual medley, and finished 5th in the 200 IM. He also set three school records during the season — in the 100 backstroke with a time of 53.14, the 200 freestyle in 1:41.17, and the 200 IM in 1:56.39. The Hens were helped by nearly all of their team members; during the season, at least 10 different competitors recorded victories in events ranging from the 100 butterfly (Matt Fouse against Coppin State) to the 1,000 freestyle (Paul Ulrich against Coppin State and Ray Meyer against Loyola). The team had a particularly impressive win against Loyola near the end of the season, winning nine of thirteen events. Finally, the team was helped by the lead- ership of co-captains C.T. Lyons and Chris Dohl, and by the coaching of John Hayman, John Schuster, and Rich Roat.

Tallying 39 goals and 39 assists, he ranked 3rd in the nation in assists and points. He also earned the UD records for assists in a career (153), points in a career (251) and consecutive games with a point (47). Finally, he earned All NAC honors for the fourth year in a row. In addition to DiMarzo, Blue Hens Brad Glowaki, Eric Doust, Mike Joyce, and Carey Egan were named to the all-NAC team. Goaltender Brian Cooper put in a strong season in goal despite an injured hamstring.

The efforts of the team did not go unnoticed, however, as the Hens found themselves ranked 13th in the nation at the season's end. Freshman phenom Sebastian was named the CAA tournament MVP, and tri-captains Sue Da- donna, Brenda Lear, and Kristina Scanion were selected to play in the North-South senior all-star game.

However, they redeemed them- selves by defeating Campbell and Radford to advance to the championship game, where they were stopped by East Carolina. Ending her career with the Hens was Lisa Myers. The shortstop had an outstanding season, averaging .395 at bat, and finishing with 9 school re- cords, including most hits in a career and a 12 game hitting streak in 1995. Moving to shortstop after starting the season at centerfield, Myers was named to the all NAC team. Junior third baseman Lauren Baugher also earned All-NAC honors, hit- ting .291 with a team high 20 RBI's. Tri captains Lisa Kosanovich and Al- lison Gladwell also had impressive years at both the plate and in the infield. Behind the plate, both Dana Dyson and Bonnie Seaman saw playing time, as well as being called upon to perform designated hitter duties. The pitching staff, whose rough year was not helped by bad defense and the lack of hits, was led by Jen Ballier and Janna Kedersha. Ballier posted a 2.41 ERA while Kedersha lead the team with eight wins. Finally, Kristen Kayatta, Alison Rose, and Erin Eisenhower provided some hitting power at the plate.
