MOST FANS WOULD not have pre­dicted the sea­son that the foot­ball team pro­duced if you had told them that 18 student-athletes would go down with season-ending injuries…

Field Hockey BY GEOFF GOYNE The 2010 sea­son was one of firsts for an already highly suc­cess­ful Wes­ley Col­lege field hockey pro­gram. The Wolver­ines had come up empty in 16 tries against national power and con­fer­ence rival Sal­is­bury as they entered a Cap­i­tal Ath­letic Con­fer­ence (CAC) Semi­fi­nal con­test on Novem­ber 3, along with a reg­u­lar season […]

Cross Coun­try BY GEOFF GOYNE Both cross coun­try teams fin­ished ninth at the Cap­i­tal Ath­letic Con­fer­ence (CAC) Cham­pi­onships. The women’s sea­son was high­lighted by Tristin Bur­ris, who became the fourth fastest run­ner in school his­tory with a time of 20:43 at the Delaware State Invi­ta­tional. Nearly every run­ner on the men’s squad was a fresh­man, but […]

Wes­ley Col­lege wel­comed 16 new mem­bers to its Ath­letic Hall of Fame over Home­com­ing Week­end this past fall. Inductees were hon­ored at a cer­e­mony held at the Schwartz Cen­ter on Fri­day, Octo­ber 15 and were announced dur­ing the half­time show at Saturday’s foot­ball game at Scott D. Miller Sta­dium. The Ath­letic Hall of Fame tradition […]

Vol­ley­ball BY GEOFF GOYNE The vol­ley­ball team got off to a slow start and fin­ished just 5–29 on the year after a 16-match skid to start the sea­son. Sopho­more Carle Ax was named to the Col­lege Sports Infor­ma­tion Direc­tors of Amer­ica (CoSIDA) Aca­d­e­mic All-District team, becom­ing the first player in the vol­ley­ball program’s brief his­tory to […]

Men’s Soc­cer BY GEOFF GOYNE The Wolver­ines started the sea­son off on the right foot with a season-opening vic­tory, but a sub­se­quent win­less streak proved too much to over­come. After a 2–0 win against Mora­vian, Wes­ley went 0–5–1 in its next six matches, but only one of the defeats was by more than a sin­gle goal. The […]

Women’s Bas­ket­ball BY GEOFF GOYNE A five-game mid­sea­son los­ing streak could derail post­sea­son hopes for nearly any team, but the Wes­ley Col­lege women’s bas­ket­ball team rebounded from the rough stretch to win seven straight and saved its sea­son in the process. The ensu­ing win streak pro­pelled the Wolver­ines from a non-playoff team to host for the […]

Women’s Soc­cer BY GEOFF GOYNE Wes­ley fin­ished the sea­son well, outscor­ing its oppo­nents over the final four matches, but a mid­sea­son los­ing streak dashed the squad’s post­sea­son hopes. The Wolver­ines posted a win and a tie in the first four matches of the year, but lost each of their next nine con­tests. Back-to-back home victories […]

Men’s Bas­ket­ball BY GEOFF GOYNE Wes­ley con­tin­ued its strong play in recent years with another impres­sive sea­son in 2010-11. The team won 18 games, tied for the sec­ond most in the Divi­sion III era, and advanced to the Cap­i­tal Ath­letic Con­fer­ence (CAC) Cham­pi­onship game for the third straight year. The sea­son was fueled by a 9–1 […]

Wes­ley Col­lege student-athlete Julia DeFe­lice was trag­i­cally killed on Fri­day, July 16 when she was struck by a mini­van at the inter­sec­tion of William Street and North Gov­er­nors Avenue in Dover…
