Table All-Americans of Contents The Fightin’ 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 in 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 group of eight companies representing New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties.
Although often referred to as “The Fighting Delawares,” Haslet’s regiment also won the sobriquet, “The Blue 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 “Blue Hen Chicken” was named the official state bird. UD’s College of Agricultural Sciences maintains a breeding group of the Blue Hen Chicken on its campus farm. The UD mascot, YoUDee, made his debut in September 1993. YoUDee stands 6-foot, 8-inches tall with a 6-1 wing-span and size 28FF sneakers.
The second company was composed of men from Kent County and was under the command of Captain John Caldwell, an avid fan and owner of gamecocks. The militia often amused themselves by staging cock fights with these birds, which were of a breed known as the Kent County Blue Hen, famous for having some blue plumage.

The renown of these chickens spread rapidly during that time when cock fighting was a popular form of amusement, and the “Blue Hens’ Chickens” quickly developed a reputation for ferocity and fighting success. Capt. Caldwell’s company likewise acquired a considerable reputation for its own fighting prowess in engagements with the British at Long Island, White Plains, Trenton, and Princeton, and was soon known as “the Blue Hen Chicken” company.

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

All-Americans Bonnie Kenny
BONNIE KENNY HEAD COACH 12TH SEASON AT UD/30TH OVERALL TENNESSEE ‘84 Head coach Bonnie Kenny will begin her 12th season at the helm of the University of Delaware volleyball program in 2013. Just the fifth coach in the 41-year history of the Blue Hens, she has posted a remarkable 209-137 record since arriving in Newark and reached the impressive 200-win milestone on Oct. 5, 2012 at UNCW. Kenny took over a program that had suffered through four straight losing seasons before she was named the head coach on Feb. 7, 2002. Since then, she has helped turn the team into one of the most successful in the region. During her 11 remarkable seasons in Newark, Kenny has led the team to a share of five Colonial Athletic Association titles, four CAA Tournament crowns, and four trips to the NCAA Tournament.
In 2008, she continued to build upon the Blue Hens’ recent success, completing a great coaching job to lead Delaware to its second straight title. Despite losing the reigning Player and Setter of the Year to graduation and All-CAA performer Kelly Gibson to a seasonending injury in the first match of the year, Kenny led the team on an incredible late-season run that culminated with the conference championship.
Through the 2012 season, the Blue Hen volleyball squad captured a share of five straight CAA regular season titles, won CAA Tournament championships four times, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011. The Blue Hens won first round NCAA matches in both 2007 - a first in UD history - and 2011.
Before the tournament got under way, Kenny was honored for her coaching successes, garnering the league’s Co-Coach of the Year award. She immediately proved why she deserved the honor, helping the No. 3 seed Hens down Towson, 3-1, in the first-round before upsetting the second-seeded VCU Rams, 3-1, in the semifinals.
In 2011, the Blue Hens enjoyed another outstanding season, posting a 23-11 record, winning both the CAA regular season and tournament titles, and advancing to the NCAA Tournament where they downed American in the first round before falling to host Penn State in the second round.
The following night, Delaware took on Northeastern, the host and No. 1 seed. In a grueling five-set bout, the Blue Hens prevailed, becoming the first team to win consecutive titles since George Mason won back-to-back crowns in 2002 and 2003.
Delaware became the first team to capture a share of five straight league titles since George Mason (199296) and just narrowly missed making it six straight in 2012 before falling in five sets to Hofstra in the CAA Tournament title game.
After falling in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in 2008, Kenny helped guide an experienced Delaware team to its second regular-season title in three years after finishing tied atop the CAA standings with VCU in 2009. Along with a strong showing in conference action, Delaware also had a memorable night against North Carolina when the team topped the Tar Heels in a thrilling five-set match at the Bob Carpenter Center in front of a record crowd of 2,517.
She has been named the CAA Coach of the Year four times and led the team to the CAA Tournament nine times. In that time, a total of 29 UD student-athletes have been named all-conference, 19 have been named to the CAA All-Tournament team, four have earned All-American honors, eight have earned all-region honors, nine have been named CAA Player of the Year, and six have earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors.
On October 8, 2010, Kenny became the 28th active NCAA Division I head coach to reach the 500 win plateau with a 3-0 victory over VCU on Viera Court. She was honored at the 2010 Jostens Coaches Honors Luncheon in Kansas City, Mo., on December 16. The luncheon was held in conjunction with the 2010 AVCA Annual Convention. In 2007, Kenny helped guide the team to heights never reached before in Delaware history. Following a regular season that saw the team capture three tournament championships and post a 12-2 record during conference action, the Blue Hens saved their finest performance for the postseason. Prior to the CAA Championship, Kenny was named the conference Coach of the Year for the second time in her career. Boasting the CAA’s top coach along with the Player, Setter, and Defensive Specialist of the Year, Delaware entered the conference championship as the No. 1 seed. Following a semifinal victory over James Madison, the Blue Hens squared off with the defending champion Hofstra Pride in the title bout. Before a capacity crowd at Viera Court, Delaware defeated Hofstra, 3-1, to capture its first CAA crown. With the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament in hand, the Blue Hens headed to Queens, N.Y. for opening round action. In its first round match against Princeton, Delaware posted the conference’s fourth NCAA Tournament victory after downing the Tigers, 3-1. The following night, although the team fell to 18th ranked St. John’s, 3-1, the Hens became the first team from the CAA to win a game in the second round without the benefit of a first round bye. 6

The 2010 season marked another championship campaign as Kenny led the squad to a 26-6 overall record, finishing with a program best conference record of 13-1 to earn the number one seed in the tournament, and home court advantage. The Blue Hens would use that advantage through the weekend tournament, surging from a 2-1 deficit to take the 2010 crown from #3 Northeastern, 3-2, in front of a sellout crowd on Viera Court. Kenny was honored with her fourth CAA Coach of the Year award (Co-Coach in 2010) and also coached the Setter of the Year, the Defensive Specialist of the Year and saw three of her players named to the CAA first team that season. Delaware went on to draw Virginia Tech in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, held in University Park, Pa, home of the three-time defending national champions from Penn State. The Blue Hens dropped the opening round matchup 3-0 to the Hokies. The 2010 season was highlighted by an undefeated home record, stretching their streak to 17 straight

Things came together in 2004 as Kenny led a talented squad to a record of 23-9 - the most wins by Delaware since 1997 - and a third-place finish in the CAA regular season standings with a 9-5 mark. The Hens upended No. 2 seed Hofstra, 3-0, in the semifinals before falling to host and No. 1 seed Towson, 3-0, in the title match.

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH 12TH SEASON MISSOURI STATE ‘83 Cindy Gregory will begin her 12th season at the University of Delaware as head coach Bonnie Kenny’s top assistant for the 2013 season. Gregory, who was promoted to the position of associate head coach on December, 2004, also served as an assistant under Kenny during her entire tenure at the University of Massachusetts from 1995-2001. Since coming to Delaware, Gregory has helped the program recapture the glory it once had under legendary coach Barb Viera. Following four losing seasons prior to her arrival, she and Kenny have turned the Blue Hens into one of the top teams in the region. During her 11 seasons in Newark, Gregory has helped Delaware post a record of 211-137 (.606) and advance to the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament nine times. In that time, a total of 29 UD studentathletes have been named all-conference, 19 have been named to the CAA All-Tournament team, four have earned All-American honors, eight have earned all-region honors, nine have been named CAA Player of the Year, and six have earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors. In addition, Kenny has been named CAA Coach of the Year four times. Through the 2012 season, the Blue Hen volleyball squad captured a share of five straight CAA regular season titles, won CAA Tournament championships four times, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011. The Blue Hens won first round NCAA matches in both 2007 and 2011. Delaware became the first team to capture a share of five straight league titles since George Mason (199296) and just narrowly missed making it six straight in 2012 before falling in five sets to Hofstra in the CAA Tournament title game. In 2011, the Blue Hens enjoyed another outstanding season, posting a 23-11 record, winning both the CAA regular season and tournament titles, and advancing to the NCAA Tournament where they downed American in the first round before falling to host Penn State in the second round.
Gregory began her college career at the University of Houston where she played two seasons and led the Cougars to the 1979 and 1980 national AIAW tournaments. The 1979 squad placed fourth nationally. She moved on to Missouri State University where she played two seasons and led the team to a fifth place finish at the 1981 AIAW national tournament and to an NCAA Tournament berth in 1982. The squad also captured two Gateway Conference titles during her career. She earned her degree in physical education with a minor in biology from Missouri State in 1983 and earned a master’s degree in exercise physiology from Texas Woman’s University in 1986. She began her coaching career as a graduate assistant at Texas Woman’s University in Denton, Tex. in 198486 before moving into a head coaching position at Marymount University in Arlington, Va. in 1987-89. She served as assistant coach at Smith College in Northampton, Mass. in 1989-91 and returned to the head coaching ranks at Clark University in Worcester, Mass. for the 1991-92 season. She also served a two-year stint as head coach at The MacDuffie School in Springfield, Mass. in 1990-92 while also serving at Smith and Clark.
Along with winning the conference championship, Gregory helped the 2007 squad post a 31-5 record and advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Delaware eventually became the first team from the CAA to win a set in the second round without the benefit of a first round bye. The Hens have since advanced to the NCAA Tournament in both 2008, 2010, 2011.
Gregory took over as head coach for men’s and women’s volleyball at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and led both teams to national prominence during her tenure in 1992-95. She guided the men’s program to a third place finish at the NCAA Division III Tournament in 1993.
In 2008, she and Kenny completed an amazing coaching job to guide the team to a second straight title. Despite losing the conference Player and Setter of the Year to graduation and All-Conference performer Kelly Gibson to a knee injury in the first match of the season, Gregory helped the squad overcome the losses and use a late-season run to take the championship.
On the women’s side, she led MIT to the ECAC regional tournament in 1993 and to the New England Women’s Eight Conference title and an NCAA Tournament berth in 1994. She was named the New England Women’s Eight Conference Coach of the Year and New England Women’s Volleyball Association District Coach of the Year in 1993.
With the Hens’ grueling 3-2 victory over host and No. 1 seed Northeastern in the CAA Championship match, Delaware became the first team to win back-to-back titles since George Mason accomplished the feat in 2002-03.
While at Massachusetts, she teamed with Kenny to lead UMass to a seven-year record of 125-93 between 1995-2001. Massachusetts recorded five winning seasons, including marks of 28-9 in 1996 and 24-15 in 1995. The 1996 team advanced to the National Invitational Volleyball Championships in Kansas City, Mo.
After falling in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in 2008, Gregory helped guide an experienced Delaware team to its second regular-season title in three years after finishing tied atop the CAA standings with VCU in 2009. Along with a strong showing in conference action, Delaware also had a memorable night against North Carolina when the team topped the Tar Heels in a thrilling five-set match at the Bob Carpenter Center in front of a record crowd of 2,517. Highlighted by victories over UNC as well as a slew of Big East schools, Delaware eventually finished the year ranked fifth in the East Region and 43rd in the nation. It marked the highest national finish by a team from the Colonial Athletic Association in four years. A native of Houston, Tex., Gregory earned 13 letters 8

Blue BlueHen HenFootball Volleyball With nearly three decades of success athletically and academically, the Colonial Athletic Association has built a reputation as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences. The CAA encompasses many of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas with a geographic footprint that stretches from Boston to Charleston, S.C. The conference has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 13 national players of the year, 12 national coaches of the year and 13 Honda Award winners. Just as impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 23 NCAA post-graduate scholars. In 2012-13, 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 23 teams in 15 different sports receive NCAA Public Recognition Awards based on the latest Academic Progress Report released in 2013. The landscape of the conference stretches along the majority of the East Coast, and includes several of the nation’s top media markets – New York (1), Philadelphia (4), Boston (7), Washington, D.C. (9) and Baltimore (25). The number of television homes in the CAA market exceeds 20 million. The CAA conducts championships in 22 sports. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis and track & field. 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 2012-13, 27 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 43 student-athletes received All-America honors in 14 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 seven years. CAA teams have combined to win 41 games in CAA Commissioner postseason play since 2006, including 14 victories in the NCAA Tournament. The CAA has posted at least one NCAA Tournament Tom Yeager win in six of the past eight years, including the last four in a row. The conference has seen five or more teams reach postseason play in four of the last five seasons. In women’s basketball, 2013 CAA champion Delaware defeated West Virginia and North Carolina to become the 12th CAA team to reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Behind the play of Honda Award winner Elena Delle Donne, the Blue Hens finished the season ranked #13 in the final USA Today Coaches Top 25 poll. Drexel captured the WNIT championship with a 46-43 victory over Utah and James Madison reached the quarterfinals of the WNIT. CAA teams have gone 20-9 in postseason play over the past two years. 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. Three men’s soccer teams earned NCAA Tournament berths last season and each current member of the conference has reached the NCAA Tournament since 2006. In softball, Hofstra reached the NCAA Super Regionals in 2012 and the CAA placed two teams (Hofstra and James Madison) in the NCAA’s for the first time last season. At least two women’s soccer teams have reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament three times in the past six seasons. William & Mary’s men’s cross country squad has made the NCAA Championship in 12 of the past 14 years and the women’s team had two runners (Elaina Balouris and Emily Stites) earn All-America honors in 2012. Delaware and Towson have each reached the Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship. The CAA sent three teams to the NCAA Baseball Championship in 2013 and has had at least 11 players selected in nine of the last 11 Major League Baseball drafts. The conference also had individuals earn All-America honors in women’s lacrosse, track and field and swimming & diving last season and had players nationally ranked in tennis and golf. 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 education and life outside of intercollegiate athletics. Among the programs that have been established are an undergraduate research conference, coordination of study abroad programs, visiting faculty programs and a recent partnership with NBC Learn to provide educational videos to over 8,500 public schools across the United States. CAA schools are also very active in community service projects. The CAA Blood Challenge, which is held each fall, has raised more than 36,000 units of blood over the past 11 years. The first-ever CAA Food Drive Challenge last winter resulted in over 9,500 pounds of donated food. 40

Tim McDonnell Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its inception. The conference traces its roots back to 1983 when two of its current members- James Madison University and the College of William and Mary - were aligned with East Carolina University, George Mason 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 conference. The transformation from ECAC South to CAA took place on June 6, 1985. Old Dominion University joined the CAA in 1991 and was followed 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 in 2005 and the College of Charleston began its first year as a CAA member on July 1, 2013. Elon University will join the conference beginning in 2014-15.

Huge is currently in her fourth year as Deputy Director of Athletics & Recreation Services. When former UD Director of Athletics Bernard Muir was hired as AD at Stanford University in July, 2012, Huge served as Delaware’s Interim Director of Athletics for just over two months before current AD Eric Ziady was hired on Oct. 10, 2012. She began her career at Delaware in 2009 as Senior Associate Director of Athletics and was promoted to Deputy Director of Athletics & Recreation Services in September, 2011. As Deputy Director of Athletics & Recreation Services, Huge serves as a member of the senior management team and oversees the day-to-day business and administrative operations of the Division, including fiscal management, external operations, student-athlete support services and NCAA compliance. She is responsible for the coordination of strategic and operational planning and is the Division’s liaison to various campus offices including the Office of the General Counsel, Labor Relations, and Human Resources. Huge also serves as the primary sport administrator for women’s lacrosse and volleyball and the secondary administrator for men’s basketball.

A leader in international education, UD offered the first study-abroad program in the world in 1923, and celebrates its 90th anniversary of study abroad in 2013. UD ranks third nationally among public doctoral institutions in study-abroad participation. More than one of every three UD undergraduate students (34.7%) studies overseas; programs are offered in nearly 50 countries. In 2010, the Education Advisory Board’s University Leadership Council cited UD’s study-abroad program as a model.
UD’s freshman retention rate, 92 percent, ranks in the 97th percentile among universities nationwide. At 77 percent, UD’s six-year graduation rate is more than 21 percentage points higher than the national average. UD’s four-year graduation rate, 61.8 percent, is nearly double the national average.

UD has graduated 12 Rhodes scholars since the celebrated program began in 1904. Our most recent Rhodes scholar—2011 graduate Matthew Watters—is now studying global health science at Oxford. UD also produces numerous Marshall and Truman scholars, and has been named a Truman Scholarship Honor Institution for its outstanding record of Truman scholars selected.
Many of UD’s doctoral programs were ranked among the best in the U.S. in a recent National Research Council survey that examined criteria such as student financial support, average time to degree completion, student career plans and diversity of the academic environment. UD graduate programs in physi physical therapy, engineering, education, business, city management, mathematics and public affairs have been recognized in recent Best Graduate Schools guides published by U.S. News Media Group.
A citation in the Princeton Review once referred to the UD campus as “absolutely the most gorgeous anywhere,” and a 2007 Washington Post story noted, “with its elegant, elongated Green, [UD] is a stunning landscape of Georgian Colonial red-brick, white-columned architecture to rival anything conceived by Thomas Jefferson.”
