Game #1

La Salle 2 Delaware 0

Aug. 21, 2011 Newark, Del.

The 2011 season got off to an odd start for the University of Delaware women's soccer team. After falling behind 2-0 to La Salle University, the season-opening contest was cut short due to impending storms in the greater Newark area. The game went into a lightning delay with 21 minutes to play as thunderstorms blew in from the Baltimore area, forcing the contest into a 30-minute delay. Weather would again impact the game with 9:24 left to play when lightning again came through the area, forced the game to a finish. Reneee Washington scored both goals for La Salle, while Jess Hopton assisted on both markers. Ali Miller put all three of her shots on goal to pace Delaware’s (01) offense. La Salle goalkeeper Melissa Sanger was up to the task, turning aside all six Delaware shots on goal. In goal for Delaware, Breanna Stemler made two saves in her 81 minutes of action. She faced a slew of shooters as La Salle had six different players record a shot. The Hens’ best opportunity of the day came in the 53rd minute. Amy Pickard took a shot from inside the penalty box on a pass from Chelsea Duffy. Pickard’s shot was headed for the left side of the goal before Sanger made a fingertip save on the attempt. The Explorers held the advantage in corner kicks, taking seven, including six in the first half, while Delaware had three. Both squads managed five shots in the first half, but La Salle took three in second half as the Hens had just two. La Salle Delaware

Aug. 26, 2011 Harrisonburg, Va.

Bouncing back from an odd ending to its first game of the 2011 season, Delaware picked up its first win of the year by defeating Stony Brook, 3-0, at the JMU/Fairfield Inn by Marriott Invitational. Two quick goals from midfielders Melissa Pennington and Tania Domingos gave Delaware a lead it never relinquished, posting the team’s first shutout of the year. Pennington bookended the evening with the third and final goal. Shannon Kearney handed out two assists, one on Pennington's first goal, the second on Domingos', while Leigh Victory had a second assist on Pennington's first and Taylor Thompson aided the third goal of the game. Breanna Stemler logged all 90 minutes in Delaware's goal, turning aside six Stony Brook attempts to post her ninth career shutout. The Hens peppered the Seawolves' goal, putting nine shots on the mark. Stony Brook goalkeeper Chelsea Morales made fives saves in her 90 minutes of play. Stony Brook’s defense was credited with a team save. Pennington found the back of the net for the first time in the 29th minute as the Hens put together pinpoint passing. Victory fed the ball to Kearney who in turn made a pass to Pennington in the box for the finish.

Domingos put away an insurance goal just five minutes later, turning on a Kearney pass form 11 yards out, putting the Hens up 2-0 going into the halftime break. Setting up the third goal, Thompson ripped a shot, but Morales was up to the task, making the initial save. But before anyone else had a chance at the ball, Pennington controlled the rebound and put away the final goal of the game. The Blue Hens, backed by Stemler, held Stony Brook scoreless for the remaining 32 minutes. Delaware Stony Brook

Joseph’s 17 fouls. Victory timed up her shot as the Hawks’ defensive wall jumped up the air, putting the ball under the defense rather than over it. Victory caught Neal unprepared, finding the bottom left corner of the goal to tie the action. Blue Hen keeper Breanna Stemler kept the goal clear the rest of the way, finishing with a season-high seven saves. Neal faced a slew of Blue Hens shots, stopping six of Delaware’s seven shots on goal. The Hens dominated the offensive pace, taking 20 total shots, including nine off the foot of Ali Miller, who along with Dianna Marinaro put two shots on cage. Delaware Saint Joseph’s

Aug. 28, 2011 Harrisonburg, Va.

With both teams taking double-digit shots, it was the Pittsburgh Panthers who outlasted Delaware, 1-0, at the James Madison University/Fairfield Inn by Marriott Tournament. The Hens managed 15 shots while Pitt took 12. Tania Domingos and Melissa Pennington represented Delaware on the All-Tournament team. Ali Miller led Delaware (1-2-0) offensively, taking four shots, including two of the Hens' three on goal. Leigh Victory took two shots had the other shot on goal. Victory and Miller were two of the six Delaware players to take multiple shots. Taylor Thompson, Shannon Kearney, Allegra Gray and Domingos all took two attempts. Blue Hen goalkeeper Breanna Stemler suffered the loss, but made five saves on the day. Pitt (1-2-1) split time between two keepers, with starter Kristina Rioux making one save and back up Nicole D'Agostino turning away two and getting the win. Pitt found the back of the net in the 58th minute during a corner kick, followed by a header pass from Ali Matisse to Ashley Cuba, who poked the ball in for the eventual game-winner. The Blue Hens found the back of the goal in the 63rd minute, but the Hen tally was waved off. Dianna Marinaro sailed in a corner kick that beat D’Agostino, but the official deemed the goalkeeper was obstructed. Pittsburgh Delaware

Sept. 4, 2011 Philadelphia, Pa.

After falling behind 2-0 in the first half, Delaware suffered a 2-0 loss at the hands of the University of Pennsylvania at Rhodes Field. The Quakers (2-0-0) jumped out to a 1-0 lead just a minute and a half into the first period and scored an insurance goal in the 25th minute to secure the victory. A stifling defensive effort from Penn held Delaware to just three shots during the game, spread out over three different Hens. Leigh Victory managed the only shot on goal for Delaware, while Shannon Kearney and Chelsea Duffy each trigged one attempt. The Hens (1-3-1) split time in goal, with Breanna Stemler getting the start as Jessica Levy played the second half, making all three of Delaware's saves.

Saint Joseph's jumped out to an early 1-0 lead, but Delaware tied things midway through the first half and did not allow another goal the rest of the way at Finnessy Field, playing to a 1-1 draw with the Hawks. After Saint Joseph's (0-2-1) got a goal from Mo Hawkins just 58 seconds into the match, Delaware drew back to even at 1-1 after Leigh Victory snuck one past Hawk goalkeeper Christine Neal. Victory's tally was her first of the season. The Victory goal came on a set piece following one of Saint

Returning to its home field for the first time since Aug. 21, Delaware knocked off defending Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference champion Siena College, 4-1. Amy Pickard posted her second career two-goal game, and her first since Sept. 8, 2008 against Winthrop. Pickard got the scoring going in the first half, taking a throw in from Leigh Victory. Pickard rolled around her defender and finished in the top right corner of the goal, just past Saints netminder Laura Ettinger, who tallied five saves on the night. However the Saints got the tying goal from Katie Zambrano in the 43rd minute. After a scramble in the Delaware penalty box, Kaitlyn Sharo connected a pass to Taylor D’Alfonso, who then found Zambrano

for the goal. Chelsea Duffy gave Delaware the go-ahead goal just 10 minutes into the second half, putting away a pass from Laura Klebe, who tallied her first points since her freshman year in 2008.

After taking a 1-0 advantage into the halftime break, Delaware again struggled to finish on shots, hitting the left post twice and the crossbar once before Miller buried her second goal.

James Madison 2 Delaware 2

Oct. 16, 2011 Newark, Del.

Despite getting two goals from Amy Pickard, Delaware had to settle for a 2-2 tie in a CAA battle with James Madison at the Delaware Mini-Stadium. Pickard upped her team-leading goal total to eight on the season and moved into sixth place on the all-time Delaware career goal-scoring list with 23. James Madison (7-6-3, 4-3-1 CAA), which entered the game in third place in the league standings, sent the game into overtime on a goal by Lauren Wilson, her sixth of the season, with 17:22 left in regulation. Neither team could score during the two 10-minute overtime periods although the Hens managed four shots and JMU got off three shots in the extra time. Pickard gave the Blue Hens a quick 1-0 lead when she took a header pass from Chelsea Duffy and scored past JMU goalkeeper Kate Courter (six saves) just eight minutes and 46 seconds into the contest. The Hens took that 1-0 cushion into halftime but could not hold on to the lead as the Dukes tied the contest at 1-1 just under nine minutes into the second stanza when Becky Sparks sent a long crossing pass to Jessica Barndt, who scored her first goal of the season past Delaware’s Breanna Stemler (season-high 11 saves).

Ali Miller recorded her third multi-goal game of the season to help lead Delaware to a 4-0 win over CAA foe UNCW Friday afternoon at Virginia Commonwealth's Sports Backer Stadium.

Amy Pickard and Stacie Dulkis each chipped in a goal while Dianna Marinaro posted a pair of helpers. Tania Domingos registered an assist on Miller’s second goal. The 4-0 blanking snapped Delaware’s five-game losing streak against the Seahawks (3-15, 1-9 CAA).

Delaware took a 1-0 advantage into the halftime break, but gained a 2-0 advantage early in the second half as Miller pushed her second goal past UNCW keeper Caitlin Hunter in the 58th minute. Pickard further extended the lead to 3-0 in the just five minutes later as she too tallied her 10th goal of the year.

The Colonial Athletic Association has built a reputation as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences both athletically and academically. The CAA encompasses five of the nation’s nine largest metropolitan areas with a geographic footprint that stretches from Boston to Atlanta. The conference has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 12 national players of the year, 12 national coaches of the year and 12 Honda Award winners. Just as impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 22 NCAA post-graduate scholars. In 2011-12, more than 1,900 of the league’s 4,000 student-athletes received the Commissioner’s Academic Award after posting at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport. The conference had 19 teams in 13 different sports receive NCAA Public Recognition Awards based on the latest Academic Progress Report released in 2012. The landscape of the conference stretches along the majority of the East Coast, and includes six 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 market exceeds 20 million. The CAA conducts championships in 23 sports. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, CAA COMMISSIONER football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & Tom Yeager field and wrestling. Female athletes battle for conference titles in basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. In 2011-12, 24 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 51 student-athletes received All-America honors in 16 different sports. The conference has made its presence known nationally in men’s basketball with two teams – George Mason (2006) and VCU (2011) – advancing to the NCAA Final Four over the past six years. Three CAA teams earned NCAA Tournament berths for the first time in 2011 as conference champion Old Dominion was joined by VCU and George Mason. VCU knocked off USC, Georgetown, Purdue, Florida State and top-seeded Kansas, while Mason defeated Villanova. In 2006, George Mason captured the nation’s imagination by becoming the first mid-major program since 1979 to reach the Final Four, posting victories over Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut along the way. At least five CAA teams have reached postseason play for the past four years. The CAA has also had great success in women’s basketball, with six teams making the postseason in 2011-12. Conference champion Delaware advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time and was ranked #7 in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll. James Madison beat two ACC and two Big East teams to reach the championship game of the WNIT. Drexel, Hofstra, UNCW and VCU joined the Dukes in the WNIT. Old Dominion, which won an NCAA-record 17 straight CAA titles from 1992-2008, boasts three national championships (1979, 1980, 1985) and was national runner-up in 1997. The conference also excels in many other sports. CAA squads have combined to win 10 field hockey national titles since the championship began in 1981 and ODU reached the national

semifinals in 2011. Four men’s soccer teams earned NCAA Tournament berths last season and James Madison became the seventh CAA team to reach the final 16 of the event in the past decade. Hofstra’s softball team won the Los Angeles Regional and became the first CAA squad to advance to the NCAA Super Regionals. At least two women’s soccer teams have reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament in three of the past five seasons. William & Mary’s men’s cross country squad has made the NCAA Championship in 12 of the past 13 years. In the pool, George Mason’s Ashley Danner finished second in the 100 breaststroke and fifth in the 200 breaststroke at the 2012 NCAA Championship and received AllAmerica honors. Delaware and Towson have each reached the Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship. On the track, Mason’s David Verburg placed fourth in the 400 meters at the NCAA Championship. The CAA has sent multiple teams to the NCAA Baseball Championship in nine of the last 15 years and has had at least 12 players selected in the eight of the last 10 Major League Baseball drafts. The conference also boasts numerous All-Americans in lacrosse, tennis, golf, women’s lacrosse and wrestling. CAA member institutions are committed to excellence in the classroom. The Colonial Academic Alliance was created in 2002 by the league’s presidents with a goal of expanding their partnership to all aspects of university life outside of intercollegiate athletics. Among the programs that have been established are an undergraduate research conference, coordination of study abroad programs and granting visiting academic status to student-athletes traveling to an away contest so that they have access to libraries, academic resource centers and computer labs. Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its inception. The conference traces 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 East Carolina University, the United States Naval Academy and the University of Richmond as a basketball league (ECAC South). During the next two years, the league added 11 sports, acquired two 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 place on June 6, 1985. Charter members George Mason, James Madison, UNC Wilmington and William and Mary were joined by Old Dominion University in 1991 and by Virginia Commonwealth University in 1995. The conference added the University of Delaware, Drexel University, Hofstra University and Towson University in 2001. Georgia State University and Northeastern University became members of the conference on July 1, 2005.

CAMPUS LIFE The 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 colleges with the diversified resources and programs usually found at major research universities. THE FACULTY The 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 their field. Though many professors have gained national and international prominence for research contributions in their disciplines, teaching remains a primary concern. At Delaware students are exposed to the most experienced professors throughout their academic career. THE UNDERGRADUATES Maintaining an exciting academic environment requires not only outstanding and dedicated professors, but talented students willing to accept academic challenge. By national standards, the University's student body is well qualified: the average SAT scores are well above the national average. Students entering the University typically average nearly 1,200 on the SAT. Over 70 percent maintained an average of B or better during their high school years; and the University attracts more national merit scholars then most comparable institutions and more than some Ivy League schools.

UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE MEASURES OF SUCCESS

• Best buy and more –The Princeton Review’s 2005 annual college guide, The Best 357 Colleges, gave UD four-star rankings for campus life and selectivity. Only about 15 percent of American undergraduate instituWith eight distinct undergraduate colleges offering 124 degree programs from which to choose, tions are included in the guide. Delaware allows study in everything from accounting to agriculture, English to engineering, philosophy to physical therapy. • The University of Delaware is the 11th best value in the country for out of state students at public colleges, The approved list of University courses totals over 4,000. and 13th best for in-state students, according to a listing of the top 100 schools in the January 2006 issue Although University of Delaware class sizes can range from a minimum of one (independent study) to of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine.

Additionally, approximately 90 percent of UD athletic letterwinners graduate with a degree. • 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. LOCATION MAJOR PROGRAMS

Our location in Newark, Delaware, provides a comfortable small town college atmosphere. Newark, with a population of approximately 30,000, is midway between New York City and Washington, DC, and in close proximity to both Philadelphia and Baltimore. You can enjoy the educational and recreational advantages of these major metropolitan areas, as well as the white sandy 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 in a state that is one of the nation's top corporate centers. Our students and graduates are exposed to many research and internship opportunities just minutes from campus at major corporations such as the Bank of America, DuPont Co., Hercules, ICI Americas Inc., Morgan Bank, Chase Manhattan, and a host of others. In addition, more than 700 companies regularly recruit employees from the University's graduating senior class, putting the University of Delaware among the top schools in the Mid-Atlantic area for career placement.

• 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 professional education and reviewed all UD’s programs that educate prospective teachers, 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 the Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI), the specialty organization of the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education, the only accrediting organization approved by the U.S. Department of Education. The ACEI report said, in part, “The overall assessment plan was well done…as most universities/colleges are beginCAMPUS The quality of education at the University of Delaware is enhanced by its Newark campus, a 1,000-acre ning their assessment plans, the University of Delaware is probably ahead of most.

(CHEP) was named one of the best in the nation by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP). At the University of Delaware you learn, but you learn about more than books – you learn about life. The three-year, specialist-level graduate program was scrutinized by NASP as part of the National Council for Interacting within the diverse 16,000 undergraduate student population provides growth for the total per- Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) accreditation process. Of all programs evaluated in fall 2003, son.

Sixteen University buildings are listed on the National Register of Historical Places.

• UD’s Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management was ranked seventh among the top 25 hospitality programs in the country, tying with one 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 and Tourism 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 Delaware competition. One of the most popular restaurants in Newark, Vita Nova is consistently booked well in advance. • In the 2005 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Graduate Schools,” three UD graduate programs were ranked among the top 10 in the nation: physical therapy, fourth; and urban affairs and chemical engineering, both ranked ninth. In the 2006 edition, chemical engineering held on to its ninth place ranking, the College of Engineering was ranked 42nd and the School of Education was ranked 39th.

• Careers and Colleges Magazine selected UD as one of its “Cool Schools,” calling it “academically rigorous” and one of the “underrated gems” among American colleges and universities. • Alumni and friends value UD–UD’s first major capital campaign, the Campaign 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 million. Since its inception, the Campaign has targeted key areas for funding: academic support through undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, discovery-based learning initiatives, improved library facilities, faculty support through endowed chairs and named professorships, facilities, equipment and unrestricted general support. The Campaign for Delaware has been successful in all these aspects and has, for example, made it possible to increase the number of endowed faculty positions from fewer than 10 to 106. University investments are now in excess of $1 billion, as recognized in a 2006 report of the National Association of College and University Business Officers. • Recognition by our peers–Some of the most influential groups in higher education today have great things to say about UD: • “Better than any University we are familiar with, Delaware has a clear sense of what it wants to be, namely, a University that offers a high quality undergraduate education with targeted areas of excellence in graduate education and research…. Today, the University is seen as a national model for the integration of information technology in every aspect of University life: teaching and learning, research and service, academic support and campus administration….” The evaluation team wrote that “these substantial achievements could not have happened 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 and Reinvention Center constituents have been impressed and even inspired by the examples set by the University of Delaware in the reform and enrichment of undergraduate education. [UD’s Undergraduate Research Program is] one of the best in the country.” —Wendy Katkin, director of The Reinvention Center–The State University of New York at Stony Brook

• Beautiful and well-maintained campus–UD was singled out by The Chronicle of Higher Education as an institution dedicated to maintaining and preserving its campus, in contrast to the national problem of deteriorating facilities for higher education. Descriptions of UD in college guides invariably mention the beauty of the campus: The Princeton Review said that “the majority of UD students are pleased with the quality of life on campus and rave about ‘absolutely the most gorgeous campus anywhere.’” The Fiske Guide to Colleges wrote that UD has “all that the traditional college portrait entails: solid academics, rowdy athletic traditions, Northeastern beauty and all. Delaware’s spacious 1,000-acre campus is an attractive mix of Colonial and modern geometric buildings.” • Undergraduate research at UD is a national model–At any given time, at least 600-700 undergraduates are actively involved in research on the UD campus. Two-thirds of the faculty—and 90 percent of the engineering and science faculty—regularly work with undergraduates in research. Each year, about 300 undergraduate researchers present papers and posters at UD's Undergraduate Research Symposium, and undergraduates are routinely included as authors or co-authors with their faculty mentor on about 50-60 professional publications and presentations each year. Several students have gone on to receive national recognition for their work. • UD students are responsible computer users–UD is a leader in instilling in students the importance of responsible computing behavior. Before students can open an e-mail account on the campus, they must pass an online test that outlines the rights and responsibilities of computer use. UD offers a special educational campaign, called “The Code of the Web,” to raise awareness about responsible computing use issues such as bandwidth abuse and copyright infringement. The humor-based campaign features UD’s award-winning mascot YoUDee as an old-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 campaign has been promoted widely on shuttle buses, T-shirts, posters and coffee mugs, as well as in commercials that run during previews in the campus movie theatre and between technology assistance videos played on the campus cable television network. In August 2003, The Chronicle of Higher Education wrote about the campaign. In May 2005, UD was host to James Spertus, vice president of the Motion Picture Association of America and director of its U.S. anti-piracy efforts, and Richard L. Taylor, MPAA senior vice president of external affairs and education, who spoke openly with students about the problems associated with the piracy of entertainment products on college campuses. • Leading by example–The EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR) features the University of Delaware in a 2004 case study about campuses that are highly regarded for their ability to align Information Technologies efforts and investments with institutional goals and priorities. • Responsible behavior –The University of Delaware’s aggressive campaign to fight binge drinking has won it national attention. Since the beginning of the campaign, surveys on high-risk drinking conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health show significant declines in destructive behaviors by UD students. Data indicate that students are drinking alcohol more moderately, drinking alcohol with the express purpose of getting drunk has decreased, fewer students report having hangovers, missing classes and doing something they later regret and there has been a decrease in incidents in which students were insulted by others, became involved in serious arguments or quarrels, were hit or assaulted, had personal property damaged, had their sleep or study interrupted, were expected to “baby-sit” a drunken friend or experienced an unwanted sexual advance. • In 2004, the Education Development Center’s Center for College Health and Safety 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 a policy of parental notification when students break campus rules, particularly if they involve potentially dangerous activities. • Supportive parents –Parents of UD students put their money where their pride is! The Council in Aid of Education recently released a report that ranks the University of Delaware number one nationally in giving by parents of students and alumni to a public university. • Marine excellence–UD’s College of Marine and Earth Studies earned high honors from a national Sea Grant college review team that, after a campus visit, said the 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 the University, its management, its high level of research, its outreach and its translation of science to its constituents,” the team wrote.

• When the Founding Fathers were young–The University of Delaware traces its origins 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 distinguished of any other class in any school in America.
