SAUNDERS HONOR ROLE






Sarah Saunders
CONFERENCE
WEEKLY HONOR ROLE 

For week of March 30, 2015: Wesley Wolverine junior #2 OF Sarah Saunders (Wayne, NJ). Congratulations!

Over the past 9 games – since Sunday, March 22 – Sarah has tallied 13 hits over 25 at bats for a .520 average. For the season, Sarah stands #1 in the Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) with 13 stolen bases, while her .475 batting average ranks #3 in the league.



PENN STATE GAME PHOTOS

These Wesley Wolverines win some and, sometimes, lose some they should have won. Regardless, like their feisty mascot whose offensive/ defensive strength is out of proportion to its size, our Wolverines contend in a conference where they are matched against colleges and universities 3x, 4x, even 5x their size and always deliver a great showing for the Wesley College campus.

Below are 34 shots from yesterday's away games against the Penn State Harrisburg Nittany Lions (Monday, March 30, 2015). Click here to download any or all of the photographs.

LINDSAY: PITCHER OF WEEK

First time for a Wolverine!
Lindsay Siok is conference
Softball Pitcher of the Week

 

You almost need a separate score card! 

You can now add back-to-back weeks of top conference player recognitions onto the Wesley Wolverine's 9 game winning streak and 29 scoreless innings allowed.

Last week, junior #8 OF Steph Caracozza (Melbourne Beach, FL) picked up both the Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) and Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Player of the Week awards.


Today, sophomore #12 P/MI Lindsay Siok (Milford, DE) was named the CAC Pitcher of the Week. It is the first time in the history of Wesley softball that a Wolverine hurler has been so honored.


In the clipping below, read the stats from the amazing week Lindsay enjoyed in the circle whiffing and keeping batters off balance.

Congratulations Lindsay!

WBOC NEWS ITEM

TV news feature
Look for Wesley Wolverines 

on the central Delmarva airwaves

A television station has taken notice of the 10-1 Wesley Wolverines.  

WBOC-TV, based in Salisbury, Maryland, conducted interviews with Wolverines today and shot the team working out at the Wesley West gym.

To learn what was said during the interviews, blog readers will have to watch for the feature on WBOC News, which may be broadcast next week or later. If available, the segment also will be posted at this blog. Though WBOC shot a large part of the Wolverine workout, typically much film is left on the cutting room floor when broadcasters put together the news report that eventually appears on air.


The sequence of pictures posted in the slideshow below -- click on the arrow in the green box to view photographs -- begins with locker room interviews from local players sophomore #9 P/OF Lily Engel (Dover, DE) and sophomore #12 P/MI Lindsay Siok (Milford, DE) as well as Head Coach Juli Greep. Then the WBOC camera moves into the field house to shoot the Wolverine's Friday afternoon practice.

MARCANO NMB #1 PHOTOS

Just a sample below
Marcano photographs capture
Fastpitch Dreams Classic games


Who among the Wesley Wolverines roams deepest in center field? Steph? Lauren? Maybe Lily


JOSE MARCANO behind centerfield, 
North Mytle Beach Sports Complex.
It's none of the above. Just look past the outfield fence in dead center and most often you will find Jose Marcano, father of sophomore #18 C/3B Nina Marcano (Middletown, DE), snapping pictures of the play action. 

Jose usually has his finger pressed on burst mode to capture every subtlety of a swing and race to the base.

At last week's Fastpitch Dreams Classic tournament, Jose shot more than 2,000 photographs (no kidding!)

In the slideshow below -- click on the arrow in the green box -- are just a sample of 74 pictures from the first few days of the games with many more samples of Jose's work to be posted later this week.
