With eight new faces on the roster and just two seniors returning, the 2011 Delaware State University women’s soccer squad is relatively young; however, their age and inexperience can be thrown out the window when it comes to expectations and excite‐ ment for the upcoming season. “We’re looking to turn the tides this season,” commented head coach Nitan Soni. “This is the ninth year of women’s soccer at DSU and we’re ready for some successful seasons.” The Hornets are looking to bounce back from a 2010 campaign that left them with a 1‐18‐0 overall record and 0‐6‐0 in the Great West Conference.

of their own over the season. Wappett was tops in the assists category with two. GOALKEEPERS DSU will face a challenge at the goalkeeper position as they have lost last year’s main goalie in Courteney Haas and replace her with true freshman Katelyn Koslosky (East Islip, N.Y.). “The additions of these this talented keeper will give us the luxury of taking more risks on the offensive side of the ball,” Soni re‐ marked. “Katelyn has elite level club experi‐ ence as well as success with regional teams, so her age should not be a factor.”

Koslosky joins the Hornets from East Islip High School where she led her team to league championships in 2007, ’08 and ’09. She was a two‐time All‐League and All‐Conference player in addition to being named All‐County and team MVP as a junior. Koslosky also has some experience playing overseas as she was invited to attend the Kuban 2010 Spring Tournament in Sochi, Russia. DEFENDERS The DSU defensive corps is led by junior Randall Marshall (Laurel, Md.).

“We have a lot of newcomers, but we’re only losing three starters,” Soni stated. “With a solid returning group, we anticipate a stron‐ ger record than in previous years. We know the how it feels to have a down season and the drive that these ladies have to thrive this season is astonishing.” DSU will return 13 letter winners from the previous year, including seven upperclass‐ men. Topping the list of returners for the Hornets are juniors Jeanette Salgado (Bergenfield, N.J.) and Theresa Wappett (Queensbury, N.Y.), who each recorded six points last season. Salgado also led the team with three goals. Senior Michelle Giorgilli (Millville, Del.), junior Candace Wyre (Smyrna, Del.) and Wappett each contributed two goals

WOmen’s soccer Joining her are returning sophomores Kath‐ ryn Melore (New Windsor, N.Y.) and Darcy Pelz‐Butler (Silver Spring, Md.) along with freshmen Carina Fuller (Wakefield, UK) and Taylor Melton (Havre de Grace, Md.). “I have great belief in this group,” said Soni. “The returners worked together almost the entire season last year, so we should begin to see a level of comfort and consistency between players. The new additions only add to our athleticism and give us some solid options.” FORWARDS Similar to the goalie position, DSU has three incoming forwards in addition to Giorgilli and Wyre, who is returning for her junior season. Giorgilli started 14 games last year and scored two goals. Wyre finished the 2010 season with a .167 shot percentage (12 shots, two goals) and .417 shot on goal percentage (five shots on goal). Joining Giorgilli and Wyre are Chelsea Bour‐ siquot (Stratford, Conn.), Kate Numer and Lauren Price. Each has proven their ability to score on the field throughout their careers. “The new crop of offensive players will provide some quality technique and speed to really threaten and intimidate opponent defenses,” stated Soni. “I expect this group to surpass any goal scoring records that we have had in the past.”

Numer, a native of Lebanon, Pa. and gradu‐ ate of Cedar Crest High School, led the Lan‐ caster Lebanon League in scoring her junior season. She was also named to the All‐Star First Team her junior and senior years for her efforts on the field. Price, a native of Bayside, N.Y., collected a career total of 54 goals in her time at Bayside High School. She scored a career‐high 19 goals over 12 games as a senior. MIDFIELDERS DSU will be fielding a strong midfield this coming season with one junior, four sopho‐ mores and just one freshman looking for playing time. Junior Kelsey Gibson (Elizabethtown, N.J.) played 18 games last season and recorded one point off of one assist. She also finished with six shots and two shots on goal (.333 percent). Gibson will be joined in the midfield by sophomores Liz Olivier (Andover, N.J.), Kelly Pelz‐Butler (Silver Spring, Md.), Kaitlyn Schech (Abingdon, Md.) and Sam Strohm (Feasterville, Pa.) and freshman Maria Gabri‐ ela Pinto (Bear, Del.). Schech and K. Pelz‐Butler saw action in 16 games last season while Olivier played in 14 and Strohm got in for seven. “Although our midfield line is still primar‐ ily young, we are fortunate that all of them

have accumulated major minutes in their respective positions,” said Soni. “We hope to capitalize on this experience throughout the season.” SCHEDULE “We have many quality teams on slate this season,” remarked Soni. “They will provide a challenge for us, but it is a great challenge for us to get over that proverbial hump.” DSU launches the regular season on Fri., Aug. 19 against Campbell at Alumni Stadium. The Hornets take on Binghamton on Sun., Aug. 21 before making their first road trip of the season when the head to St. Peter’s in Jersey City, N.J. and Drexel in Philadelphia, Pa. September begins with four consecutive home games against Towson, Fordham, Lincoln (Pa.) and Canisius. The Route 1 Rivalry will be renewed as the Hornets look for their first win against Dela‐ ware on Sept. 16 in Newark, Del. DSU returns home to host American before another road trip north as they play in Law‐ renceville, N.J. at Rider on Sept. 23 and in Staten Island, N.Y. at Wagner on Sept. 25 to wrap up their non‐conference schedule. Great West Conference competition begins as DSU hosts North Dakota on Sept. 29 for first match‐up between the schools in women’s soccer history. The Hornets will also take on Houston Baptist for the first time in school history on Oct. 1. DSU hits the road again on Oct. 7 as they travel to Newark, N.J. to take on NJIT and Or‐ angeburg, S.C. on Oct. 13 for South Carolina State. The Hornets wrap up their home slate and honor their two seniors in their last home game at Alumni Stadium on Oct. 20 against Utah Valley. The regular season will conclude on Oct. 28 in Washington, D.C. when Howard hosts DSU.

GREAT WEST CONFERENCE The Great West Conference is made up of 10 intercollegiate institu‐ tions that range geographically from New Jersey to Texas to Califor‐ nia. The 10 member schools are spread out over seven states and four time zones, giving each school added exposure ‐ both in terms of media and recruiting ‐ in new destinations. The conference affilia‐ tion also generates much interest within the 10 institutions' substan‐ tial alumni base. The conference, which began as a football‐only league, took a giant leap in the collegiate athletic world when the conference expanded to include several additional sports and several new members. Joining the league on July 10, 2008 were Houston Baptist Univer‐ sity, New Jersey Institute of Technology, University of North Dakota, University of South Dakota, Texas‐Pan American and Utah Valley University. Chicago State accepted the league's invitation to join in October, 2008. These seven schools joined football only members Cal Poly, UC Davis and Southern Utah University to make up the 10‐member league. In addition to football, championships conducted during the 2008‐ 09 academic year were men's and women's cross country, men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field, and men's and women's golf. Team sports in baseball, basketball, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball begin league play in 2009‐10. As the conference began planning for multi‐team sport competi‐ tion in 2009‐10, several teams were added in the sports of women's soccer and baseball to help provide a more diverse and competitive field. Delaware State, Howard and South Carolina State joined as associate members in women's soccer, giving the Great West two, four‐team divisions. The associate members, plus NJIT, make up the Eastern Division, while North Dakota, South Dakota, Houston Baptist and Utah Valley play in the West. Northern Colorado and New York Institute of Technology joined as associate members in baseball, giving the Great West eight playing members. In addition, Seattle University was added as an associate member in cross country and track and field in 2009. Officially announced Feb. 25, 2004, charter members of the Great West Football Conference were California Polytechnic State Univer‐ sity; University of California, Davis; North Dakota State University; University of Northern Colorado; South Dakota State University; and Southern Utah University.

Conference competition began on Sept. 4, 2004 with UC Davis scoring a 52‐0 win over South Dakota State and Northern Colorado notching a 15‐13 win over North Dakota State. The Great West continues its proud tradition in football and has been rated as one of the best in Football Championship Subdivision and ahead of Football Bowl Subdivision leagues such as the Mid‐American Conference and the Sun Belt. The league boasted wins over FBS teams the last four years, with victories over Ball State, San Diego State, Minnesota and Central Michigan. In the final CSN poll of 2006, NDSU was 5th, Cal Poly 14th, SDSU 21st and UC Davis 24th, giving the Great West 80 percent of its membership in the rankings. Cal Poly and UC Davis shared the league's championship with identi‐ cal 4‐1 records in 2005, with Cal Poly gaining an at‐large entry into the NCAA Division I‐AA playoffs. The Mustangs advanced to the sec‐ ond round of the playoffs after avenging a regular season loss with a victory at Montana before losing at Texas State. Cal Poly ranked No. 6 in the final 2005 USA/Today/ESPN Coaches I‐AA Top 25 poll and re‐ turned to the FCS Playoffs in 2008, ranked No. 8 in the final poll. UC Davis put the Great West on the map early in the 2005 season with a win over Stanford in what media observers believed to be the biggest upset of the 2005 college football season. The Great West Conference recognizes student‐athletes on both a weekly and full‐season basis. Individual awards include Players of the Week; All‐Conference teams; an Academic All‐Conference team; and Player, Newcomer and Coach of the Year awards. The league also crowns team champions for both regular season and post‐season competition. The governance of the Great West Conference remains primarily with the member institutions. Each member institution is represented on the President's Council by its respective CEO. The general operations and management of the Conference will be conducted by the Direc‐ tors of Athletics and Senior Woman Administrators (Joint Council). Scheduling of contests, assignment of officials and certain media relations functions remain with member institutions.

The MEAC All‐Academic Team rec‐ ognizes non‐freshmen student‐athletes with a cumulative grade‐point‐average of 3.0 or higher. During the 2010‐11 academic year, Carter launched the inaugural Athletic Director’s Commencement Breakfast to honor graduating DSU student‐athletes. The event included academic achievement awards, highlighted by recognition of three senior athletes who earned perfect 4.0 grade point averages throughout their career. Carter was also appointed to the NCAA Football Cham‐ pionship Subdivision (FCS) Tournament Committee in 2010. In Carter’s first full year at Delaware State, the Hornets placed 98 student‐athletes on the MEAC Commissioner’s All‐Academic Team (then a school record). Delaware State also earned national recognition under Carter for the selection of senior Kalyn Washburn as the 2010 NCAA Elite 88 Award recipient for women’s bowl‐ ing. The Elite 88 is presented to the student‐athlete with the highest cumulative grade‐point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA’s 88 champion‐ ships. In addition, Washburn was named the 2010 MEAC Woman of the Year.

Highlighted by second place finishes in basketball and cross country, Delaware State was runner‐up for the 2009‐10 MEAC Talmadge Hill Award for top overall performance in men’s sports during Carter’s first full year at the university. The Hornet men’s outdoor 1600‐meter relay team also captured the MEAC title and qualified for the NCAA championship for the second straight year. On the women’s side, Delaware State claimed its second consecutive MEAC championship and NCAA Tournament appearance in women’s bowling during the 2009‐10 athletic year.

Now in its 120th year, Delaware State University has eagerly moved into the new millennium by embracing today’s new technology, assuming its role as an insti‐ tution of research and preparing its students for the global market. Delaware State University’s beginnings date back to 1891, when the 58th General Assembly of the State of Delaware passed “An Act to Establish and Maintain a College for the Education of Colored Students in Agri‐ culture and the Mechanic Arts” by virtue of the Second Morrill Act of Congress approved Aug. 30, 1890. The University began enrolling students in early 1892 and offered courses of study in agriculture, chemical, classi‐ cal, engineering and scientific. The institution has since developed into a 400‐acre complex and has undergone two name changes since its inception. The name was changed to Delaware State College in 1947 and Delaware State University in 1993. In addition to its main campus in the state capital of Dover, DSU has satellite campuses in Wilmington and Georgetown. In the institution’s 119‐year history, the institution has had 10 presidents – Wesley P. Webb (1891‐1895), William C. Jason (1895‐1923), Dr. William S. Grossley, (1923‐1942), Dr. Howard Gregg (1942‐1949), Dr. Oscar Chapman (1950‐1951), Dr. Jerome H. Holland (1953‐ 1960), Dr. Luna I. Mishoe (1960‐1987), Dr. William B. DeLauder (1987‐2003), Dr. Allen L. Sessoms (2003‐ 2008) and Dr. Harry Lee Williams (2010‐present). During DSU’s history, there have also been two acting presidents. Dr. Maurice E. Thomasson served as acting president twice (1949‐1950 and 1951‐1953). Dr. Clai‐ bourne D. Smith was acting president from 2008‐2010.

DOVER Visitors to Kent County, Delaware are pleasantly sur‐ prised by the variety of historical and cultural attractions, beautiful farmland and coastal scenery, and curious mix of old traditions and modern high‐tech culture. In Kent County, visitors can find Amish buggies on city streets, deli‐ cate shorebirds and giant C‐5 Galaxy mil‐ itary cargo planes, quiet museums and exciting NASCAR races, arts and antiques, Colonial history, slots and harness racing. Dover, the capital of the First State, invites you to ex‐ perience life in a small American city – history, tax‐free shopping and ambiance, all in a clean safe and friendly environment. You can spend the day shopping or strolling the quaint tree‐lined streets to take in the city’s historic architecture, and spend the evenings at the theater or try‐ ing your luck at a gaming facility.

You can step back in time, literally, by standing on the very corner where in 1787, delegates to Dela‐ ware’s Constitutional Convention ratified the U.S. Constitution – thus giving Delaware its “First State” moni‐ ker. The area’s collec‐ tion of small towns as well as the natural beauty of places such as Bombay Hook Na‐ tional Wildlife Refuge, provide hours of fun and adventure for visi‐ tors of all ages. Dover’s central location in Delaware makes Kent County the perfect place for regional meetings and conventions, and a great overnight destination for tours of the state. Wilmington and the Brandywine Valley attractions are only one hour’s drive to the north. Delaware’s beach resorts, including Lewes, Bethany, and Rehoboth, are only one hour’s drive to the south. Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. are all within a two‐hour drive. Kent County puts you right in the middle of the charm and excitement of “America at its Best.”

DOVER AIR FORCE BASE Dover Air Force Base is important to the country’s defense, as it represents one‐fourth of the nation’s strategic airlift capacity. Approximately 7,000 people are stationed at the DAFB. Dover is home to 36 giant C‐5 Galaxy cargo planes, which are used to transport troops and equipment wherever they are needed around the world. The C‐5 is the largest airplane in the U.S. military. Each plane is nearly as long as a football field, and could carry six motor coaches in its hold. The base cargo terminal known as the “Superport” is the largest anywhere in the US military, processing more tons of cargo than Kennedy airport in NY. The Air Mobility Command (AMC) Museum on the DAFB has over 24 aircraft on display, and features more multi‐engine aircraft than the National Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC. Vet‐ eran aircraft on display include a C‐47 “Gooney Bird” that dropped paratroopers over Normandy on D‐Day.

Visitors come from all over the world to see the variety of migratory shore‐ birds and waterfowl that stop to feed at the refuge, an important feeding stop on the Atlantic Flyway.

ARTS & CULTURE The Greater Dover is rich in arts and cultural activities. The Schwartz Center for the Arts, of which DSU is a partner, is one of the premier performing arts venues in the state. From live performances, films and special events, to meet‐ ings and receptions, the Schwartz Center offers something for all tastes.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITES The Delaware Bay, just East of Dover, offers some of the best fishing and crabbing in the region. The bay serves as a breeding ground for many aquatic species, including horseshoe crabs. The bay is also a prime oyster ground. The area also features first‐rate golf courses, bike trails, scenic paths, boating, state parks, conservation areas, lakes and greenways.

The Dover Symphony Orchestra is a regional organization founded in 1967 and comprised of professional and ama‐ teur musicians of all ages.

EVENTS The Old Dover Days Festival has existed in one form or an‐ other in the capital city since 1933. It is held on The Green and Legislative Mall, two beautiful outdoor parks in the historic downtown district. Traditional elements and new components bring in thousands of visitors each year with attendance reaching 15,000. Old Dover Days is a celebra‐ tion of the First State’s Capital City and features a parade, maypole dancing, food court, re‐enactors, walking tours, free entertainment and much more. The Amish Bike Tour, African‐American Festival, Delmarva Folk Festival, Jazz & Blues Festival, Diamond State BBQ Championship and Wyoming Peach Festival are other events that bring thousands to Central Delaware each year.

The Johnson Victrola museum is a tribute to Delaware’s native son, Eldridge Reeves Johnson, who founded the Victor Talking Machine Company in 1901. Exhibits include phonographs, recordings, memorabilia, trademarks, ob‐ jects, and paintings that highlight Mr. Johnson’s success‐ ful business enterprises and chronicle the development of the sound‐recording industry. In 2004, under the leadership of Board Chair Dr. Scott D. Miller (President of Wesley College), a strategic alliance was formed to partner the resources of Wesley College, Delaware State University, and The Friends of the Capi‐ tal Theater, to maximize usage and position the historic treasure as the premiere performing arts center south of Wilmington. In January 2007, the relationship was formalized with the three becoming equal partners in the operation, management and programming of the Center.

DOVER INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY Dover Downs International Speedway hosts two NASCAR Sprint Cup/Nationwide Series race weekends each year. Dover has the largest seating capacity (140,000 seats) of any sports facility between New York and the Carolinas. The “Monster Mile” has challenged many professional driv‐ ers as they compete for the checkered flag. The concrete track with 24 degree banking is the first and only concrete superspeedway in NASCAR history, providing awesome racing action. NASCAR weekends at Dover are typically scheduled for the second weekend in May and the fourth weekend in September. Qualifying takes place on Friday, Nationwide Series drivers race on Saturday, and the Sprint Cup stars race on Sunday.
