"Many individual teams,
all one family: Wesley!"
It's been said often, numerous ways, that the team and personal relationships really are the high points that are long remembered after college sports have ended, rather than most games and final scores.
Last night, however, it was all of that – teams, friendships, support, and a big final score, plus a huge dose of college spirit, for a group of Wesley College athletes.
The Wolverine field hockey team took the Richard Stockton Ospreys into overtime to notch a 5-4 win and improve to a 5-1 record on the year.
There was rain with a slight chill in the air. But that hardly sent home members of the Wesley softball and volleyball teams, who were seated together in the stands cheering for their fellow Wolverines on the field in the tough fought victory.
Then, they snapped a photo of themselves and sent it off to Juli Greep, head coach of both the volleyball and softball squads.

“Both volleyball and softball have been out together supporting other Wesley women's teams, especially field hockey and women's lacrosse,” said Coach Greep, noting also that many softball players have been at the volleyball home games, as well.
“This is the most supportive group of female athletes I've coached since I joined the staff in 2011,” said Coach Greep.
“These groups of young ladies are truly showing what it means to be a family and support one another,” she added. “I think you can see in the early successes of each female fall sports team this year that the support and effort is really helping pay off.”
Coach Greep remembered what senior outfielder #11 Brook Creighton (Rock Hall, MD) told the softball team last year: “we are all individual teams, but we are all one family... Wesley!”
