All four played key parts in Delaware’s outstanding 2007 season that saw
the Blue Hens post a record of 13-6, capture the Colonial Athletic
Association Tournament title, and advance to the NCAA Division I
semifinals for the first time in school history. The team will also be
honored as the Delaware Sportswriters and Broadcasters Association Team
