WHY BLUE HENS?University of Delaware's athletic teams have one of the most unique

nicknames in all of college athletics – "The Fightin' Blue Hens." It is a name they carry with pride that stretches back over 200 years

of history of the state of Delaware.The Blue Hen nickname has been continuously used by all University

of Delaware intercollegiate teams since 1911.On December 9, 1775, the Continental Congress resolved that a military battalion was to be raised

from the lower three counties along the Delaware River. Thus was born the Delaware Regiment, a groupof eight companies representing New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties.

The second company was composed of men from Kent County and was under the command of CaptainJohn Caldwell, an avid fan and owner of gamecocks. The militia often amused itself by staging cock fightswith these birds which were of a breed known as the Kent County Blue Hen, having some blue plumage.

The renown of these chickens spread rapidly during that time when cock fighting was a popular formof amusement, and the "Blue Hens' Chickens" quickly developed a reputation for ferocity and fightingsuccess.

Captain Caldwell's company likewise acquired a considerable reputation for its own fighting prowessin engagements with the British at Long Island, White Plains, Trenton, and Princeton, and was soon knownas "the Blue Hen Chicken" company.

One version of the story states that Caldwell's company rushed into battle screaming "We're sons ofthe Blue Hen and we're game to the end!"

Captain Caldwell's company was part of Col. John Haslet's first Delaware regiment that formed nearthe outset of the Revolution in January, 1776, and in August, 1781, remnants of the regiment were stillbattling at Eutaw Springs, SC.

Although often referred to as "The Fighting Delawares," Haslet's regiment also won the sobriquet, "TheBlue Hen Chickens," which has become the nickname for all Delawareans.

The name was formally adopted by the Delaware General Assembly in April, 1939 when the "BlueHen Chicken" was named the official state bird. UD’s College of Agricultural Sciences maintains a breed-ing group of the Blue Hen Chicken on its campus farm.

2010 SEASON PREVIEW

In her final season at the helm on the Hens, sixth-year women’s lacrosse head coach Kim Ciarrocca,

joined by her three assistant coaches Liz Martin, Jaime Dardine and Reid Watson, are excited to get the 2010

campaign under way.

“I’m not a real nervous person on the sidelines, ever,” said Ciarrocca. “I’ve never been that way, but

this [opening] game might be a little nerve-racking for me. I think my last home game may be more so –

hoping that it’s the CAA Championships that we’re hosting.”

The Blue Hens, who finished second in the Colonial Athletic Association a year ago, were picked third

in the league’s preseason poll announced Jan. 27. This season Delaware, who has traveled to the CAA

Tournament for three consecutive years, looks to secure the one finish in which they have fallen just short

of, first place. Delaware fell to the preseason favorite Towson University, 8-7, in the 2009 title game to place

second. The Hens finished third in 2007 and fourth in 2008 under Ciarrocca.

“I think that being picked third is fair considering we lost our goalie and our whole starting defense

with one exception, Jennifer Bradway,” said Ciarrocca. “We lost seven starters and that will hurt a little. I’ve

been picked fifth, sixth, seventh, and we’ve always made it.

“Last year we fell a little short of our goals but we know what our goals are. We have three great sen-

iors this year who have done a great job with this team.”

Midfielder Emily Schaknowski (pictured below), and attackmen Morgan Marino and Courtney Aburn

will lead the Hens not only as seniors, but as the squad’s trio of captains.

Schaknowski, one of the top offensive threats in the CAA, has scored 67 goals and dished out 57 assists

in 51 career games. A premiere player at the UD midfield, the Wading River, N.Y. native was named to the

CAA Second Team and selected as a CAA All-Tournament Team member after recording 20 goals and 13

assists to lead the Hens for the second-straight year. She also tallied 24 draw controls last season.

“Emily is a super-speed kid in the midfield. We’re going to try to keep her on attack as much as we

can and use her on fast break-aways,” said Ciarrocca. “She should have an explosive year. She’s so quick

and dominant that it’s hard to stop her. She’s just too fast.”

Named to the CAA Honor Roll and the IWLCA National Academic Team, Marino is a two-year letterwin-

ner who will contribute on the front-line for UD. As will Aburn.

Aburn, a CAA Honor Roll student as well, sits second on Delaware’s career draw control list with 87,

and has contributed 70 goals and 27 assists during her tenure. The Jarrettsville, Md. native tallied 15 goals

and 11 assists in 2009 and won 24 draw controls.

After losing such a core group of defenders, Ciarrocca pressures her midfield unit with high praise.

“Our midfield is our strength right now,” she said. “We have a number of freshmen who will see a good lot

of playing time. They’ll

bring a lot of speed to

our game.”

Freshmen Anglea

Biciocchi, Morgan

Leonard, and Brittany

Griel should expect min-

utes.

According to

Ciarrocca, Biciocchi will

be one of the first subs

off the bench, if not

starting some games,

while Leonard, a center,

will also contribute some

time.

“Griel, a middie,

she can go both ways,”

said the sixth-year head

coach. “She’ll start some

games also and come

right off the bench for us

to add some depth.”

Sophomores Steph Allen, Rachel Molina and Quinn Daly return for the Hens, as do juniors Lindsey

Coon, Ali Libertini, Holly Burman and Julianna Jeffers as the veterans of the midfield.

Allen, who contributed 22 goals last season, is healthy and will make an impression on Delaware’s

offense. “Steph was a walk-on last year and turned out to be one of our highest scorers, she’ll get some

playing time,” highlighted Ciarrocca.

Molina and Daly saw spotted playing time in 2009. “Rachel is a middie-defender,” said Ciarrocca. She’s

going to see a lot of time this year, and Quinn will also see significantly more action.”

“Lindsay is returning from an injury and will start for us. She’s our center,” stated Ciarrocca. “And we’ll

be looking for big things out of Ali, in many ways she’s going to run the offense for us.”

Burman and Jeffers each contributed nine goals in the 2009 season, while playing in a combined 31

games. Burman, who made 16 starts, tallied 12 points, 22 ground balls, 10 caused turnovers and won 18

draw controls last year.

Kayla McDonough, a transfer from Richmond University, looks to make an immediate impact on the

UD midfield. “Kayla is a phenomenal defender, she’s really going to help us and is going to fit in very well

as a starter for us.”

Despite having switched around the game plan to accommodate a young defense, Ciarrocca will stick

to the same motto. “We’re going to push the ball on attack and try to make some things happen,” she said.

“On defense we’re going to come out and pressure the ball a little more. Unlike my defense last year that

was a great settled defense, this team has a little bit more speed. I feel like this group of defenders has a

lot of speed and they’re working very well together.”

After earning a starting spot in the fourth game last year, Bradway is the only returning starter on

defense and has been selected as a defensive captain for game-day.

“She’ll help out tremendously and will run the defense back there for me,” praised Ciarrocca.

Following the graduation of four-year starter, Jessica Cerveny, at the goalkeeper position, junior

Makenzie Worthington, will fill her shoes.

“Makenzie has paid her dues,” said Ciarrocca. “She sat for two years and didn’t see much playing time

because Jess had a remarkable career for us. She’s looking forward to the challenge, and she’s ready. There’s

no doubt, she’s ready.”

A crew of forwards will help the efforts of Schaknowski. A redshirt junior, Nicole Flego, is returning

from a slew of injuries but looks to contribute for the Blue and Gold.

“We’ve been out with Nicole for a year or two now. Each year I hope she comes back because she was

a 30-30 kid her freshman year and she has great potential.”

Sophomores Abby Fashouer and Blair King, and junior Corinne Drost will also serve as scoring threats.

“Abby and Blair will see some playing time on attack. Abby has a nice lefty with a phenomenal shot,”

stated Ciarrocca. “And Blair has one of the best and quickest shots on the team.”

A part-time starter in 2009, Drost was the Hens’ sixth-highest scorer a year ago. Drost recorded 16

points on 12 goals and four assists, while starting 10 of 18 games in which she played.

Confident in her upperclassmen and newcomers, Ciarrocca eagerly awaits game-day and is looking for-

ward to the challenging season ahead.

“We have 32 kids and feel we have 20 field players who are going to contribute every game – it’s a

nice substitution pattern to have.

“This team is one of the closest team’s I’ve had and they work hard every day and they deserve to win

some games,” concluded Ciarrocca. We’re anxious and I’m excited being that it’s my last season here. Of

course I want to go out on top, I’d like to win the CAAs and we’re doing everything we possibly can to make

that happen.”

Delaware hosts Lehigh on Feb. 26 to open the season. It marks the first meeting between the squads

since the Mountain Hawks defeated the Blue Hens, 24-7, during the 1996 campaign. The head-to-head

between UD and Lehigh dates back to the 1981 season. Delaware leads the series 22-6.

The blue Hens will also face Saint Joseph’s (Pa.), Rutgers, Loyola (Md.), Penn State, Temple, UMBC,

Oregon and Vanderbilt in non-league action prior to tipping-off CAA play on April 3 at defending champion,

Towson.EmilySchaknowski

Kim Ciarrocca, one of the most successful coaches in NCAA Division I, was named head coach of the

women's lacrosse program at the University of Delaware July 1, 2004. Ciarrocca (pronounced shuh-rock-uh)

became just the fifth head coach in the history of women's lacrosse at Delaware.

She announced in January, 2010 that she would retire following the 2010 season to spend more time

with her family.

After four straight losing seasons and no trips to the Colonial Athletic Association tournament over the

previous three campaigns, Ciarrocca wasted little time in guiding the Blue Hens back into the national spot-

light in 2005. Since then, the Blue Hens have consistently been among the top teams in the CAA and earned

national Top 20 rankings.

Delaware posted an 8-8 overall record during Ciarrocca's first season at the helm, but more important-

ly the Hens recorded a 4-3 mark in CAA play, good for a fourth place finish and a spot in the CAA Tournament

for the first time since rejoining the league in 2002. The Hens fell to No. 1 seed Hofstra in the opening round,

but a young squad gained plenty of experience and confidence for the coming years.

In addition to the post-season berth, the Hens returned to the national Top 20 rankings for the first time

since the 2000 season. The Hens appeared in the Top 20 nine times in 11 weeks, including a season best

ranking of No. 15 on March 28. The Hens defeated three Top 20 opponents during the season.

After a 5-12 mark in the 2006 season, the Blue Hens bounced back in a big way in 2007. The Blue Hens

went 11-6 overall and finished tied for second in the CAA at 5-2. The Hens were ranked in the IWLCA Top

20 poll for three consecutive weeks and completed a perfect 9-0 record at home. Delaware fell to James

Madison in the CAA semifinals, but returned four of their top five leading scorers coming into the 2008 sea-

son.

The Blue Hens posted another 11-6 record in 2008 and placed fourth in the CAA standings with a 4-3

mark. Delaware battled

tough but fell to host

William & Mary 15-14 in

the semifinals, just missing

out on a trip to the league

title game for the first time

since the 1999 season. The

Hens also extended their

home winning streak to 15

games before falling to

George Mason on Apr. 13.

In addition, the Hens

received votes in both the

IWLCA and Nike/Inside

Lacrosse polls during the

season.

In 2009, Ciarrocca led

Delaware to a 10-8 season

and placed second in the

CAA at 5-2. The Blue Hens

won their first CAA

Tournament semifinal

game, defeating No. 3 seed

Old Dominion, 8-6. The Hens rallied late in the finals against Towson, but came up just short as they dropped

a hard-fought game, 8-7. Five of Ciarrocca's players were honored with All-CAA accolades, which marked

the third straight year Delaware had at least five players honored. Two were named to the All-CAA First

Team, two to the second team and one to the All-Rookie Team.

Ciarrocca's five-year record at Delaware now stands at 45-40, ranking her third on the UD all-time

women's lacrosse coaching win list.

"We are excited to have Kim Ciarrocca lead our women's lacrosse program here at the University of

Delaware," said then Delaware Director of Athletics Edgar Johnson in making the announcement. "We have

known about Kim and her great success at Temple for a long time and we really believe she is one of the

top women's lacrosse coaches in the entire country. She brings with her impressive credentials and a great

committment to her players and the sport of women's lacrosse. We are extremely fortunate to have her join

our coaching staff."

Ciarrocca, who is the wife of former University of Delaware football offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca,

has enjoyed outstanding success during her 17-year career as a college head coach, leading squads at

Ursinus College (1990), Muhlenberg (1991), Randolph-Macon Woman's College (1992), and Temple

(1993-2004). Her overall head coaching record stands at 203-131, including a mark of 133-77 at Temple.

She ranks No. 19 among active women's college lacrosse coaches for victories (No. 7 among Division I

coaches) and is No. 14 in games coached (No. 5 among Division I coaches).

While at Temple, Ciarrocca's squads dominated the Atlantic 10 Conference, winning six straight league

regular season titles between 1999-2004 and advancing to the NCAA Tournament seven times in her last

nine years. Her teams advanced to the NCAA tournament three straight seasons in 1996, 1997, and 1998

with the 1997 squad posting a 14-3 record and competing in the NCAA semifinals. She coached more than

20 All-Americans, was named Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year in 2001, and Mid-Atlantic Coach of the Year in

1997.

During the 2004 season, the Owls posted a record of 11-8 and captured the Atlantic 10 Tournament title

with a 12-11 overtime win over Duquesne in the title game. For the second straight year, Temple fell to

Maryland in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Among Temple's losses during the 2004 season was

a 11-10 setback to Delaware on April 21.

Ciarrocca began her head coaching career at Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pa. where she led the Bears

to a 14-3 record and the NCAA Division III national title with 7-6 win over St. Lawrence in her only season

in 1990. She was named the Pennsylvania Association for Intercollegiate Athletics Women's Coach of the

Madison 15-13 in the 2007 semifinals and fell to host William & Mary 15-14 in the 2008 semifinals. They

reached the finals in 2009 with an 8-6 win in the semifinals over Old Dominion, but fell to Towson 8-7 in

the finals. The Hens have earned votes and spent time in the Top 20 in both the IWLCA and Nike/Inside

COACHING STAFF

Reid Watson joins the University of Delaware women's lacrosse coaching staff for his sixth season in

2010 under head coach Kim Ciarrocca.

Watson, a veteran of 42 years in the coaching ranks, previously assisted Ciarrocca at Temple for 11 sea-

sons, leading the Owls to six straight Atlantic 10 titles and seven trips in nine years to the NCAA Tournament.

In his five seasons at Delaware, he has helped lead the Blue Hens to a combined record of 45-40, includ-

ing back-to-back 11-6 marks in both 2007 and 2008 and a 10-8 record in 2009. Delaware, which prior to

2009, had advanced to the Colonial

Athletic Association semifinals three

of the last four seasons, advanced to

the finals in 2009 with an 8-6 win in

the semifinals over Old Dominion.

They would come up just short in the

finals against Towson, 8-7.

In his first season at Delaware

with Ciarrocca in 2005, Watson

helped the Hens go 8-8 for their first

.500 or better season since 2000

and advance to the league tourna-

ment for the first time since 2001.

The Hens defeated three Top 20

teams during the season and

returned to the Top 20 for the first

time since 2000, moving as high as

No. 15 in March.

After a 5-12 mark in the 2006

sesaon, the Blue Hens bounced back

in a big way in 2007. The Blue Hens

went 11-6 overall and finished tied

for second in the CAA at 5-2. The Hens were ranked in the IWLCA Top 20 poll for three consecutive weeks

and completed a perfect 9-0 record at home. Delaware fell to James Madison in the CAA semifinals by a 15-

13 score.

In 2008, Delaware once again went 11-6 and placed fourth in the CAA standings but fell to host William

& Mary 15-14 in the semifinals. The Blue Hens earned votes in the IWLCA Top 20 poll and were ranked as

high as No. 19 in the Nike/Inside Lacrosse poll early in the season.

They reached the finals in 2009 with an 8-6 win in the semifinals over Old Dominion, but fell to Towson

8-7 in the finals. The Hens have earned votes and spent time in the Top 20 in both the IWLCA and

Nike/Inside Lacrosse polls during Watson's tenure.

Jaime Dardine, who enjoyed an outstanding playing career at James Madison University the previous

four years, was named an assistant coach with the University of Delaware women’s lacrosse staff in

lacrosse clinics for over 20 years. He has on-field coaching responsibilities and coaches the Blue Hen goal-

A 1951 graduate of Ursinus, Watson coached the Perkiomen (Pa.) School lacrosse team for 13 years

prior to retiring in 1992. From 1972-79, he was the director of athletics and chair of the physical education

department at Girard College in Philadelphia. He also has taught at Kimberton Farms School, Springfield

He and his wife, Margery, a well-known name in lacrosse and a current game official, have five chil-

dren, including two children who competed in the NCAA Tournament.

Senior attack Helene Tursi tallied two goals and an assist, and Jenna Martinoposted one goal and two asissts. Six different Hawks scored on the day, and they had five assists to just two byUD.

The Hawks jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first six minutes of action on unassisted goals by Abby Reningerand Jessica Westlake. Westlake harassed the goalkeeper Cerveny until she eventually coughed up the ball in frontof the net and Westlaker put it in at 24:19 to give the Hawks a 2-0 advantage.

After a Delaware timeout, Drost scored Delaware’s first goal of the year at 18:23 off an assist from sopho-more midfiedler Ali Libertini to cut SJU’s lead to 2-1. SJU’s Peters would up the lead to two again with a goal at15:34, but UD’s Davis and Jeffers scored back-to-back goals at 9:07 and 6:13 to tie the score at three.

Just when it looked like the teams would be tied going into the intermission, Peters struck again with just twoseconds left in the half to give SJU a 4-3 lead at the break.

Not all Delaware momentum was lost however, as Davis scored her second goal of the day off an assist byFlego for the first goal of the second half nearly six minutes in for the game’s second tie.

After that though, SJU took the game over with the first of two three-goal runs.

2009 IN REVIEW

The University of Delaware women’s lacrosse team withstood a late Old Dominion run and defeated the No.18 ranked Monarchs 8-6 in the Colonial Athletic Association semifinals at Albert-Daly Field on the campus ofWilliam & Mary.

The No. 2-seeded Blue Hens advance to play in the finals on Saturday at 1 p.m. and will face No. 4 Towson,which defeated top-seed and host William & Mary15-10 in Thursday's first semifinal game.

Delaware was led offensively by senior captain Deb Sloan, who had four goals. Senior goalkeeper JessicaCerveny saved 13 shots to pick up the win. Defensively, seniors Erin Zimmerman and Ange Gaeta held AshleyKellogg and CAA Player of the Year Kelly Kimener to just four combined points.

Junior Emily Schaknowski opened the scoring a little over four minutes into the action for Delaware as sheripped a shot past CAA Rookie of the Year, Sarah Geary. ODU’s Saratu Dodo responded a few minutes later off anassist from Kellogg, finding a seam in a crowd right in front of the net and beating Cerveny to tie the score.

Sloan would then score on a free-position shot at 21:52 to put Delaware ahead again, 2-1. But the Monarchs’Jessica Noone scored off another assist from Kellogg to tie the score again, 2-2.

At the 15-minute mark, sophomore Ali Libertini scored off a feed from Schaknowski and freshman Steph Allenfollowed with a free-position goal at 13:10 to give UD a two-goal lead, 4-2.

Kimener scored at 9:01 to bring ODU back within one, 4-3. Sloan would then score her second goal of thegame just under the five-minute mark, but Kimener scored again at the two-minute mark to close out the scoringfor the first half. Delaware took a 5-4 lead into intermission.

Leading 6-4 nearing the six-minute mark, Libertini was pressuring Geary who was holding the ball and circlingthe crease, and caused her to force a pass into the middle of the field. Allen anticipated the pass, reached out andintercepted it, then charged the net and bounced a shot past Geary to up Delaware’s lead to 7-4.

But ODU would not go away. Down by three, the Monarchs got two quick goals from Noone and RebeccaHartrum to shrink the lead to 7-6 at 3:16.

Delaware controlled the ball for most of the remaning time and melted the clock down to 30.7 seconds beforeSloan iced the game with an open-net goal to give Delaware an 8-6 lead. In the final seconds, sophomore LindseyCoon forced a turnover and senior Alexis Curcio scooped up the groundball and launched the ball down the fieldas time ran out.

This marks the first time in four tries that Delaware has won a CAA semifinal game and advanced to the cham-pionship game.

The Hens will be looking to capture their first league championship since winning the America East title in1999. A win would give Delaware an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament and would mark the Hens' firstentry into the national tournament since the 2000 campaign.

“These are great kids,” said head coach Kim Ciarrocca. “They could have given up today, but they didn’t. I toldthem this game could have gone either way - we were right there.

The Blue Hens outshot Towson 24-22 and tied in the groundball battle at 19 apiece. Towson won 10 draw con-trols to Delaware’s seven and turned it over 11 times to Delaware’s 13.

Steph Taylor answered for Towson with a free-position goal at 24:46 to tie the score, but All-Rookie Team mem-ber Steph Allen scored a free-position goal at 22:34 to grab the lead back for Delaware.

COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

The Colonial Athletic Association celebrates its 25thAnniversary in 2009-10 with memories of a proud andstoried past and visions of an exciting future.

Regarded as one of the nation’s top collegiate confer-ences, the CAA encompasses five of the nation’s ninelargest metropolitan areas with a geographic footprint thatstretches from Boston to Atlanta. The conference has pro-duced 16 national team champions in five different sports,33 individual national champions, 12 national players ofthe year, 12 national coaches of the year and 12 HondaAward winners. Just as impressive, however, are the hon-ors accumulated away from competition, which includefive Rhodes Scholars and 20 NCAA post-graduate scholars.In 2008-09, the CAA had more than 1,700 of the league’s

4,000 student-athletes received the Commissioner’s Academic Award after posting at least a 3.2grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport. The conference ranked in the top 10 inthe nation in 12 of its 23 sports in the latest APR report released by the NCAA.

The landscape of the conference stretches along the majority of the East Coast, and includessix of the nation’s top 25 media markets – New York (1), Philadelphia (4), Boston (7), Atlanta(8), Washington, D.C. (9) and Baltimore (25). The number of television homes in the CAA mar-ket exceeds 20 million.

The CAA currently sponsors 23 sports with the addition of a 12-team football league in2007 and women’s rowing in 2009. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, bas-ketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & fieldand wrestling. Female athletes battle for conference titles in basketball, cross country, fieldhockey, golf, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and vol-leyball. In 2008-09, 28 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 45 student-athletesreceived All-America honors.

The conference has made its presence known nationally in men’s basketball with a league-record five teams advancing to postseason play in 2008-09. Conference champion VCU madeits third NCAA Tournament appearance in the last six years, while George Mason reached thepostseason for the seventh time in a decade in the NIT. Old Dominion, making its fifth straightpostseason trip, captured the inaugural CIT championship, while James Madison made the CITsemifinals. Northeastern reached the quarterfinals of the CBI. In 2006, George Mason capturedthe nation’s imagination by becoming the first mid-major program since 1979 to reach theFinal Four, knocking off powerhouses Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State andConnecticut along the way. The Patriots were ranked No. 8 in the final ESPN/USA Today Top 25poll, which was the highest ever for a CAA team.

The CAA has had at least three women’s basketball teams participate in post-season playfor the past four seasons. Drexel captured its first CAA championship in 2009 and was joined

in the NCAA Tournamentby VCU, giving the leaguemultiple teams in the BigDance for the second timein three years. JamesMadison earned a post-season berth for the fourthyear in a row in the WNIT.Perennial power OldDominion, which has wonthree national champi-onships (1979, 1980,1985) and was nationalrunner-up in 1997,claimed an NCAA-record17 straight CAA titlesbefore seeing its incrediblestreak come to an end lastyear.

The conference also excels in manyother sports. CAA squads have combined towin 10 field hockey national titles since thechampionship began in 1981. Delaware andTowson have each reached the Final Four ofthe NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship.Three women’s soccer teams have reachedthe second round of the NCAA Tournamentfor the past two seasons and at least onemen’s soccer team has advanced to the final16 of the NCAA Championship in five of thelast seven years. In men’s cross country,William & Mary placed 16th nationally as ateam in 2008 and Georgia State’s MarkSteeds earned All-America status after a12th-place individual effort. On the mat,ODU’s Ryan Williams was one of threewrestling All-Americans after finishing as thenational runner-up at 141 pounds. The CAAhas sent multiple teams to the NCAABaseball Championship in nine of the last 12years and has had 12 or more players select-ed in the last seven Major League Baseballdrafts. The conference also boasts numerousAll-Americans in tennis, golf, track and fieldand swimming and diving.

CAA member institutions are committedto excellence in the classroom. The ColonialAcademic Alliance was created in 2002 bythe league’s presidents with a goal ofexpanding their partnership to all aspects ofuniversity life outside of intercollegiate ath-letics. Among the programs already estab-lished are an undergraduate research con-ference, coordination of study abroad pro-grams and granting visiting academic statusto student-athletes traveling to an away con-test so that they have access to libraries, aca-demic resource centers and computer labs.

In 2002, two faculty members from CAA institutions were awarded academia’s most cov-eted distinction – the Nobel Prize. John B. Fenn, a research professor in the Department ofChemistry at Virginia Commonwealth University, received the Nobel Prize for chemistry, andVernon Smith, a professor of economics and law at George Mason University, shared the NobelPrize in economic sciences.

Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its inception. The conferencetraces its roots back to 1983 when three of its current members- George Mason University,James Madison University, and the College of William and Mary - were aligned with EastCarolina University, the United States Naval Academy and the University of Richmond as a bas-ketball league (ECAC South). During the next two years, the league added 11 sports, acquiredtwo new members (the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and American University)and decided to form a new association. The transformation from ECAC South to CAA took placeon June 6, 1985.

Charter members George Mason, James Madison, UNC Wilmington and William and Marywere joined by Old Dominion University in 1991 and by Virginia Commonwealth University in1995. The conference added the University of Delaware, Drexel University, Hofstra Universityand Towson University in 2001. Georgia State University and Northeastern University becamemembers of the conference on July 1, 2005.

Celebrating its 25th Anniversary, the CAA takes great pride in producing student-athleteswho stand out on the playing field and in the classroom.

FRED P. RULLO STADIUM

The Fred. P. Rullo Jr. Stadium, a state-of-the-art, artificial turf stadium, located just southof the Bob Carpenter Sports/Convocation Center, was dedicated on September 18, 1998.

Its construction was made possible, in part, by the generous donation of one University ofDelaware alumnus: Fred P. Rullo Jr. of Bryn Mawr, Pa., AS '63, a former letterwinner in foot-ball and baseball.

He and his wife, Madeleine, gave the University $1 million toward the $3.3 million cost ofthe stadium.

Rullo Stadium, home to the Blue Hen women's field hocke and women's lacrosse teams,and former home to the men’s lacrosse team, can also be used as a practice facility for football,baseball, softball, and men's and women's soccer practices, occasional home games for soc-cer; physical education classes; intramural and recreation program events; high school fieldhockey and lacrosse championships; and Special Olympics events.

Rullo Stadium features an artificial turf surface covering 122,928 square feet (2.82 acres)permits a full-sized game field for all applicable sports as well as two side-by-side practice areasrunning across the field.

Called Action-Turf-55, this knitted nylon artificial turf system with urethane foam second-ary backing is laid over a 1.5-inch-thick elastic shock pad made of pulverized rubber mixed withwashed gravel and held together with liquid urethane binder.

The field is watered before field hockey games and practices by four sprinklers which deliv-er 400 gallons of water a minute, throwing it 200 feet. There is bleacher seating for approxi-mately 2,000 fans, lights that permit evening use, a press box, a multi-sport scoreboard andblacktopped parking behind the bleachers.

Fred P. Rullo Stadium was completed in time for the 1998 field hockey season inSeptember and the Blue Hen field hockey, men's lacrosse, and women's lacrosse teams all usedthe new stadium for an impressive home field advantage.

All three teams enjoyed great success in the stadium and all three earned Top 20 nationalrankings during the 1999-00 season. The field hockey team posted a record of 10-1 at Rulloin 1998 while men's lacrosse was 8-1 and women's lacrosse was 2-2 in limited action.

The women's lacrosse team, America East champions in 1997, 1998, and 1999, and NCAATournament participants in 2000, used the field for full-time play for the first time in 2000, yetalso have the opportunity to play on grass.

The men's lacrosse team, which advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 1999, averaged over1,100 fans per game in 1999, including two standing room only crowds of 2,500 in night gamevictories over Towson (April 10) and Penn State (April 24).

The stadium served as host to the 2000 United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association(USILA) North-South Senior All-Star Game, marking the first time that Delaware has hosted theprestigious game. Rullo Stadium also served as host to the US Lacrosse National Team Tryoutsin June, 2001.

In announcing the gift, former University of Delaware President David P. Roselle said, "It'sbeen said nothing ever built rose to touch the skies unless someone dreamed it should, some-one dreamed it could and someone willed that it must."

"That should, could, and must have come together in the form of Fred P. Rullo Jr.," Rosellesaid, "and we are extremely grateful."

The Board of Trustees, at its semiannual meeting on May 26, 1998, asked to affirm a res-olution naming the new facility in recognition of Rullo, a faithful and generous supporter of theUniversity who serves on the board of the UD Athletic Fund.

Rullo and his wife, Madeleine, have three children, two of whom are UD alumni - Patriciaa member of the class of '85, and Linda, who graduated in 1987.

Linda is a former member of the University of Delaware women's lacrosse team.Rullo, now retired, had a distinguished career with Atlantic Richfield and the Freedom

Chemical Co., serving as chairman, president and CEO of the latter company, which was sold toB.F. Goodrich Co.

The stadium completes the David M. Nelson Athletic Complex and brings the University ofDelaware athletic playing facilities - already ranked among the best on the East Coast - into the21st century.

Desso DLW of Dendermonde, Belgium agreed to install its ActionTurf nylon surface for thecost of the polypropylene and to donate an installed $40,000 watering system and woven fieldhockey lines in return for use of the University of Delaware as its "showcase facility" in theUnited States. Approximately 98 percent of the field hockey fields in Europe are made by thiscompany.

DD Martin of Hunt Valley, Md., which handled the artificial turf project, and the Clark Co.of New York, which did all of the sub-base work, including drainage, conduit, stone base, lights,and bleacher foundations, also were partners in the project.

UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE

CAMPUS LIFEThe University of Delaware is a state-assisted, private institution of higher

education that offers the best of public and private colleges. Delaware combines the personalized attention associated with small col-

leges with the diversified resources and programs usually found at majorresearch universities.

THE FACULTYThe individuals most responsible for the attainment of academic excellence

are members of the faculty. They have been attracted to Delaware from distinguished universities in

America and around the world. Over 89 percent hold a terminal degree in theirfield. Though many professors have gained national and international promi-nence for research contributions in their disciplines, teaching remains a primaryconcern.

At Delaware students are exposed to the most experienced professorsthroughout their academic career.

THE UNDERGRADUATESMaintaining an exciting academic environment requires not only outstand-

ing and dedicated professors, but talented students willing to accept academicchallenge.

By national standards, the University's student body is well qualified: theaverage SAT scores are well above the national average. Students entering theUniversity typically average nearly 1,200 on the SAT.

Over 70 percent maintained an average of B or better during their highschool years; and the University attracts more national merit scholars then mostcomparable institutions and more than some Ivy League schools.

MAJOR PROGRAMSWith eight distinct undergraduate colleges offering 124 degree programs

from which to choose, Delaware allows study in everything from accounting toagriculture, English to engineering, philosophy to physical therapy.

The approved list of University courses totals over 4,000. Although University of Delaware class sizes can range from a minimum of

one (independent study) to a lecture class of 300, more than 70 percent of classsections have fewer than 30 students.

Classes are usually organized to include small-group discussions and theaverage class size is between 24 to 38 with the faculty-to-student ratio approxi-mately 1 to 16.

Students who choose Delaware are obviously impressed by what they findhere. The average five-year graduation is almost 75 percent and the averageretention rate for students from the freshman to the sophomore year is 89 per-cent.

Additionally, approximately 90 percent of University of Delaware athleticletterwinners graduate with a degree.

LOCATIONOur location in Newark, Delaware,

provides a comfortable small town collegeatmosphere. Newark, with a populationof approximately 30,000, is midwaybetween New York City and Washington,DC, and in close proximity to bothPhiladelphia and Baltimore.

You can enjoy the educational andrecreational advantages of these majormetropolitan areas, as well as the whitesandy beaches of the Atlantic coast or the

ski resorts of the Poconos. The campus is only minutes from Interstate 95 in one of the most heavily

populated corridors in the country, and the University is an active participant ina state that is one of the nation's top corporate centers.

Our students and graduates are exposed to many research and internshipopportunities just minutes from campus at major corporations such as the Bankof America, DuPont Co., Hercules, ICI Americas Inc., Morgan Bank, ChaseManhattan, and a host of others.

In addition, more than 700 companies regularly recruit employees fromthe University's graduating senior class, putting the University of Delawareamong the top schools in the Mid-Atlantic area for career placement.

CAMPUSThe quality of education at the University of Delaware is enhanced by its

Newark campus, a 1,000-acre tract featuring stately elm trees and Georgianarchitecture that gives the University its picturesque and traditional atmosphere.

The Delaware campus is one combining beauty and function – an ideallearning environment.

At the University of Delaware you learn, but you learn about more thanbooks – you learn about life. Interacting within the diverse 16,000 undergrad-uate student population provides growth for the total person.

Students have opportunities to become involved in government or planningthe activities and policies of campus residence halls, dining halls, and more than175 registered student organizations.

Sixteen University buildings are listed on the National Register of HistoricalPlaces.

UNIVERSITY OF DELAWAREMEASURES OF SUCCESS

• Best buy and more –The Princeton Review’s 2005 annual college guide, TheBest 357 Colleges, gave UD four-star rankings for campus life and selectivity.Only about 15 percent of American undergraduate institutions are included in theguide.

• The University of Delaware is the 11th best value in the country for out of statestudents at public colleges, and 13th best for in-state students, according to a list-ing of the top 100 schools in the January 2006 issue of Kiplinger’s PersonalFinance magazine. According to the magazine’s article on best values in publiccolleges, “Our exclusive survey of U.S. public college and universities shines aspotlight on schools that combine great academics with reasonable costs.” For itsrankings, Kiplinger’s looked at several measures of academic quality, includingadmission rates, student-faculty ratios, percentage of faculty with the highestdegrees in their field, amount spent on instruction for each student, amountspent on library facilities and four- and six-year graduation rates.

• UD was rated a “best value” in the 2003 edition of Kaplan’s The Unofficial,Unbiased Insider’s Guide to the 320 Most Interesting Colleges.

• The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) gave UD’s

professional education programs an outstanding evaluation after visiting the

campus in the fall of 2003. The team studied the overall organization of profes-

sional education and reviewed all UD’s programs that educate prospective teach-

ers, administrators and school psychologists. Only about a third of the institutions

offering professional education programs in the nation are NCATE accredited, and

only about 20 NCATE-approved institutions have achieved an assessment as

strong as the University of Delaware's. In addition, UD’s secondary social studies

program in teacher education earned high praise from the National Council for

the Social Studies (NCSS). Reviewers there were so impressed with the program

that they asked permission to share the report on it with other universities as a

model.

• UD’s Elementary Teacher Education Program received top ratings from theAssociation for Childhood Education International (ACEI), the specialty organiza-tion of the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education, the onlyaccrediting organization approved by the U.S. Department of Education. The ACEIreport said, in part, “The overall assessment plan was well done…as most uni-versities/colleges are beginning their assessment plans, the University ofDelaware is probably ahead of most. Very well done.”

• The school psychology graduate program in the College of Human Services,Education and Public Policy’s (CHEP) was named one of the best in the nation bythe National Association of School Psychologists (NASP). The three-year, special-ist-level graduate program was scrutinized by NASP as part of the NationalCouncil for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) accreditation process. Ofall programs evaluated in fall 2003, UD’s was the only one to receive an ‘A’ inevery area evaluated, and according to NASP, that is “extremely rare.” Only 57percent of the reviewed programs received full approval.

• UD’s Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management wasranked seventh among the top 25 hospitality programs in the country, tying withone of the oldest such programs in the nation and placing ahead of many well-known programs. The survey, published in 2002 in the Journal of Hospitality andTourism Education, gave UD high marks for its faculty, curriculum and students.Vita Nova, the restaurant in the Trabant University Center run by HRIM students,won the honor for best lunch buffet in Delaware Today’s 2004 Best of Delawarecompetition. One of the most popular restaurants in Newark, Vita Nova is consis-tently booked well in advance.

• In the 2005 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best GraduateSchools,” three UD graduate programs were ranked among the top 10 in thenation: physical therapy, fourth; and urban affairs and chemical engineering,both ranked ninth. In the 2006 edition, chemical engineering held on to its ninthplace ranking, the College of Engineering was ranked 42nd and the School ofEducation was ranked 39th.



• Careers and Colleges Magazine selected UD as one of its “Cool Schools,” call-ing it “academically rigorous” and one of the “underrated gems” amongAmerican colleges and universities.

• Alumni and friends value UD–UD’s first major capital campaign, theCampaign for Delaware, which began in 1998 as a five-year, $225 million fund-raising effort, far surpassed its original goal and generated more than $431 mil-lion. Since its inception, the Campaign has targeted key areas for funding: aca-demic support through undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, discov-ery-based learning initiatives, improved library facilities, faculty support throughendowed chairs and named professorships, facilities, equipment and unrestrictedgeneral support. The Campaign for Delaware has been successful in all theseaspects and has, for example, made it possible to increase the number ofendowed faculty positions from fewer than 10 to 106. University investments arenow in excess of $1 billion, as recognized in a 2006 report of the NationalAssociation of College and University Business Officers.

• Recognition by our peers–Some of the most influential groups in higher edu-cation today have great things to say about UD:

• “Better than any University we are familiar with, Delaware has a clear senseof what it wants to be, namely, a University that offers a high quality undergrad-uate education with targeted areas of excellence in graduate education andresearch…. Today, the University is seen as a national model for the integrationof information technology in every aspect of University life: teaching and learn-ing, research and service, academic support and campus administration….” Theevaluation team wrote that “these substantial achievements could not have hap-pened without extraordinary leadership from the senior administration.” —Middle States Commission on Higher Education, April 2001

• “For several years now, both the members of the Boyer Commission andReinvention Center constituents have been impressed and even inspired by theexamples set by the University of Delaware in the reform and enrichment ofundergraduate education. [UD’s Undergraduate Research Program is] one of thebest in the country.” —Wendy Katkin, director of The Reinvention Center–TheState University of New York at Stony Brook

• Beautiful and well-maintained campus–UD was singled out by The Chronicleof Higher Education as an institution dedicated to maintaining and preserving itscampus, in contrast to the national problem of deteriorating facilities for highereducation. Descriptions of UD in college guides invariably mention the beauty ofthe campus: The Princeton Review said that “the majority of UD students arepleased with the quality of life on campus and rave about ‘absolutely the mostgorgeous campus anywhere.’” The Fiske Guide to Colleges wrote that UD has “allthat the traditional college portrait entails: solid academics, rowdy athletic tradi-tions, Northeastern beauty and all. Delaware’s spacious 1,000-acre campus is anattractive mix of Colonial and modern geometric buildings.”

• Undergraduate research at UD is a national model–At any given time, at least600-700 undergraduates are actively involved in research on the UD campus.Two-thirds of the faculty—and 90 percent of the engineering and science facul-ty—regularly work with undergraduates in research. Each year, about 300undergraduate researchers present papers and posters at UD's UndergraduateResearch Symposium, and undergraduates are routinely included as authors orco-authors with their faculty mentor on about 50-60 professional publicationsand presentations each year. Several students have gone on to receive nationalrecognition for their work.

• UD students are responsible computer users–UD is a leader in instilling in stu-dents the importance of responsible computing behavior. Before students canopen an e-mail account on the campus, they must pass an online test that out-

lines the rights and responsibilities of computer use. UD offers a special educa-tional campaign, called “The Code of the Web,” to raise awareness about respon-sible computing use issues such as bandwidth abuse and copyright infringement.The humor-based campaign features UD’s award-winning mascot YoUDee as anold-time Western sheriff using catch phrases from the era to make serious points,and it has received a positive response from students and faculty alike. The cam-paign has been promoted widely on shuttle buses, T-shirts, posters and coffeemugs, as well as in commercials that run during previews in the campus movietheatre and between technology assistance videos played on the campus cabletelevision network. In August 2003, The Chronicle of Higher Education wroteabout the campaign. In May 2005, UD was host to James Spertus, vice presidentof the Motion Picture Association of America and director of its U.S. anti-piracyefforts, and Richard L. Taylor, MPAA senior vice president of external affairs andeducation, who spoke openly with students about the problems associated withthe piracy of entertainment products on college campuses.

• Leading by example–The EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR) fea-

tures the University of Delaware in a 2004 case study about campuses that arehighly regarded for their ability to align Information Technologies efforts andinvestments with institutional goals and priorities.

• Responsible behavior –The University of Delaware’s aggressive campaign tofight binge drinking has won it national attention. Since the beginning of thecampaign, surveys on high-risk drinking conducted by the Harvard School ofPublic Health show significant declines in destructive behaviors by UD students.Data indicate that students are drinking alcohol more moderately, drinking alco-hol with the express purpose of getting drunk has decreased, fewer studentsreport having hangovers, missing classes and doing something they later regretand there has been a decrease in incidents in which students were insulted byothers, became involved in serious arguments or quarrels, were hit or assaulted,had personal property damaged, had their sleep or study interrupted, wereexpected to “baby-sit” a drunken friend or experienced an unwanted sexualadvance.



• In 2004, the Education Development Center’s Center for College Health andSafety presented its Presidents Leadership Group Award to UD President David P.Roselle in recognition of the fact that UD was the first in the country to adopt apolicy of parental notification when students break campus rules, particularly ifthey involve potentially dangerous activities.

• Supportive parents –Parents of UD students put their money where their prideis! The Council in Aid of Education recently released a report that ranks theUniversity of Delaware number one nationally in giving by parents of studentsand alumni to a public university.

• Marine excellence–UD’s College of Marine and Earth Studies earned high hon-ors from a national Sea Grant college review team that, after a campus visit, saidthe UD program is “in all respects considered excellent.” UD’s program is“unique and one of a kind in terms of its administrative structure within theUniversity, its management, its high level of research, its outreach and its trans-lation of science to its constituents,” the team wrote.

• When the Founding Fathers were young–The University of Delaware traces itsorigins to a small private academy founded by the Rev. Francis Alison in 1743.The Rev. Alison’s first class was a remarkable one, possibly the most distinguishedof any other class in any school in America. The class of 10 went on to becomestatesmen, merchants and scholars of reputation. Three of them--George Read,Thomas McKean and James Smith—signed the Declaration of Independence,and Mr. Read also signed the Constitution. Those three names are being memo-rialized on three new residence halls on the Laird Campus, one of which, GeorgeRead Hall, opened for the 2005-06 academic year.

• Genius Award-winners–Two UD alumni have won the prestigious MacArthurFellowships—the so-called “genius award.” Jacqueline Jones, a 1970 graduatewho is now Truman Professor of American Civilization and chair of theDepartment of History at Brandeis University, won the award in 1999, andCharles Lewis, a 1975 graduate and founder and executive director of theWashington, D.C.-based Center for Public Integrity, received the honor in 1998.Peter Jeffery, an assistant professor of music at UD from 1984-87, received aMacArthur Fellowship in 1987.

• Accreditation–The Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics is one ofonly 400 institutions throughout the world accredited by AACSB International,the premier accrediting agency for bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees inbusiness and accounting programs. Other agencies that accredit UD programsinclude the Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology Inc.; the AmericanDietetic Association, Commission on Accreditation/Approval for DieteticsEducation; the American Physical Therapy Association, Commission onAccreditation in Education; the American Psychological Association, Committee onAccreditation; the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education; the NationalAccrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences; the National Association ofSchools and Music, Commission on Accreditation; the National Council forAccreditation of Teacher Education; and the National League for NursingAccrediting Commission.
