The Blue </div> <div>  Hens face a tough task this Saturday as they take on the No. 1 ranked </div> <div>  University of New Hampshire at Delaware Stadium.</div> <div>  </div> <div>  Rhode Island (1-2, 0-1 Atlantic 10), which hadn’t played since defeating </div> <div>  NCAA II Merrimack 42-7 back on Sept. 9, pounded out 266 yards on the </div> <div>  ground, including 53 on their first play from scrimmage, and took a </div> <div>  17-10 lead into the final stanza before running out of gas. The Rams’ </div> <div>  266 yards rushing were the most allowed by Delaware since Navy, another </div> <div>  triple-option attack, rushed for 346 in 2004 and the most by an NCAA </div> <div>  I-AA opponent since Georgia Southern rushed for 279 yards in the 2002 </div> <div>  opener.</div> <div>  </div> <div>  “Any win on the road in the Atlantic 10 is a great win,” said Delaware </div> <div>  head coach K.C. Keeler, whose squad also trailed 10-3 heading into </div> <div>  halftime. “We had a tough loss last week and to let things get away </div> <div>  would have been a bad thing. We had a championship week of practice. I </div> <div>  really liked the way we came back. Our kids never panicked. The offense </div> <div>  they were seeing was brand new but our kids battled and did a pretty </div> <div>  good job. We could have collapsed a few times in the second half but our </div> <div>  kids responded.”</div> <div>  </div> <div>  Flacco hit on 15 of 30 passes for 205 yards while Omar Cuff run for 76 </div> <div>  yards on 19 carries and Patrick caught six passes for 91 yards. Cuff </div> <div>  moved into 10th place on the all-time UD rushing list with his effort, </div> <div>  moving past Dan Reeder (2,067 yards in 1982-84) with 2,103 yards. Rhode </div> <div>  Island’s Jimmy Hughes ran for 106 yards while Joe Casey picked up 97 </div> <div>  yards. The Rams completed just four passes for 32 yards on the day.</div> <div>  </div> <div>  Delaware overcame a scoreless third quarter that saw the offense </div> <div>  struggle to gain just five total yards on 13 plays. That enabled Rhode </div> <div>  Island to take a 17-10 lead with 8:08 left in the stanza when </div> <div>  quarterback Derek Cassidy scored his second touchdown of the day. The </div> <div>  drive was set up when Stuart Kenworthy’s punt travelled just 28 yards to </div> <div>  the URI 38-yard line. Rhode Island then ran 12 straight running plays, </div> <div>  six by Cassidy, capped by the short scoring run.</div> <div>  </div> <div>  The Blue Hens finally got things going in the final quarter to pull out </div> <div>  the win. Delaware’s Roger Brown recovered a fumble on a botched handoff </div> <div>  to Casey that was forced by Bubba Jespersen at the URI-30-yard line. The </div> <div>  Hens followed with a nine-play drive that was capped by Cuff’s two-yard </div> <div>  burst up the middle with 11:13 left to play that tied the game at 17-17. </div> <div>  Cuff took care of the final 12 yards of the drive on four runs, </div> <div>  including a key nine-yarder to the two.</div> <div>  </div> <div>  “Omar really took over for us in that final quarter,” said Keeler. “He </div> <div>  was spectacular. When it came down to it, Omar came up big for us.”</div> <div>  </div> <div>  After Rhode Island went three plays and out on their next drive, the </div> <div>  Hens got the ball on their own 38-yard line and drove for the </div> <div>  game-winner. The big play of the drive came when Flacco hit Patrick down </div> <div>  the left sideline for a 42-yard gain to the six-yard line. After Cuff’s </div> <div>  three-yard run put the ball on the three, Flacco completed the drive </div> <div>  when he faked a handoff and ran around the left side untouched for the </div> <div>  touchdown and the 24-17 lead.</div> <div>  </div> <div>  The Rams never made it out of their own end of the field on their next </div> <div>  possession, giving the ball up on their own 21-yard line. Cuff took over </div> <div>  for the Hens, running out the clock and preserving the win as he gained </div> <div>  28 yards on four carries. Flacco then took a knee on the URI one-yard </div> <div>  line to finish out the victory.</div> <div>  </div> <div>  The first half ended in a 10-10 deadlock with the Blue Hens tying the </div> <div>  game up on an 11-yard run by freshman Jared Bradley with 3:57 left in </div> <div>  the second quarter. The run capped a 74-yard drive that included two big </div> <div>  third down plays with Joe Flacco hitting Kervin Michaud for a 21-yard </div> <div>  gain to the URI 44-yard line and then running himself for 11 yards to </div> <div>  the Ram 25-yard line.</div> <div>  </div> <div>  Rhode Island piled up 198 yards rushing on the ground as its </div> <div>  triple-option attack frustrated the Blue Hens. The Rams’ Jimmy Hughes </div> <div>  ran for 53 yards on the first play from scrimmage, setting up a 32-yard </div> <div>  field goal by Colin Gallagher with 11:54 left in the first half to open </div> <div>  the scoring.</div> <div>  </div> <div>  Delaware had some early success of its own as Flacco hit Mark Duncan on </div> <div>  a 51-yard bomb on the Hens’ first place from scrimmage, putting the ball </div> <div>  on the URI 19-yard line. The drive stalled, but Zach Hobby connected on </div> <div>  a 36-yard field goal, his school record eighth straight successful </div> <div>  conversion, to tie the score at 3-3 with 10:36 left in the half.</div> <div>  </div> <div>  The Rams took a 10-3 lead with seven seconds left in the first half when </div> <div>  Derek Cassidy capped a 65-yard drive with a one-yard dive. The drive was </div> <div>  highlighted by a 28-yard run by Joe Casey off a fake punt that put the </div> <div>  ball on the UD 31-yard line.

West Chester has advanced to </div> <div> the NCAA II Tournament each of the past two seasons.</div> <bR> <div> Delaware held West Chester to 252 total yards and took advantage of four Ram turnovers but just barely missed posting its first shutout since </div> <div> downing Colgate 40-0 in the 2003 NCAA I-AA championship game and its first season-opening shutout since downing West Chester by a 28-0 score in 1991. West Chester defensive back Maurice Garlic scooped up a fumble by backup Delaware running back Matt Ruggiero and raced 83 yards for a touchdown with just 19 seconds remaining to spoil the Hens’ shutout bid.</div> <bR> <div> “It was a sloppy first game and I was disappointed that we didn’t finish it (shutout) off,” said Delaware head coach K.C. Keeler, who improved to 13-1 all-time in season openers, including a 4-1 mark at Delaware. </div> <div> “Great teams do that. But we saw some good things and we will enjoy every single win.

The homer was the second of the game for Stewart (2-4, 2 HR, 4 RBI), who also had a three-run blast to cap a six-run Bruin fifth that erased an early 5-0 Stanford lead. Blair Dunlap (2-3, HR, RBI) also had a key long ball for the Bruins when he led off the bottom of the eighth with a solo shot that answered Michael Taylor's solo shot in the top half of the inning that had given Stanford a 7-6 lead.</div> <div> Chris Lewis (3-4, HR, 3 RBI) also homered and drove in three runs for the Cardinal in the contest, while Jason Castro (2-4, 2B, RBI), Grant Escue (2-3) and Ryan Seawell (2-4, SB) added two hits each with Castro extending his career-high hit streak to 10 games.

Three consecutive singles by Seawell, Escue and Minaker to start the game plated Seawell with the first Cardinal run. After Taylor lined to center field for the first out, UCLA starter Tyson Brummett (6.0 IP, 11 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 1 BB, 4 SO) walked Molina to load the bases for Lewis, who responded with a two-RBI single to left to field to score Escue and Minaker. Castro capped the rally when he followed with an RBI single to bring home Molina.</div> <bR> <div> Stanford added another run in the fourth to go ahead 5-0 when Castro led off with a double down the left field line, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt from John Hester and scored when Joey August fought off an 0-2 pitch for a line drive RBI single to center. </div> <bR> <div> The Bruins turned a 5-0 deficit into a 6-5 lead when UCLA batted around in its six-run fifth that Stewart capped when he blasted a three-run homer off Stanford reliever Erik Davis (0.0 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER). Dunlap had started the rally with a leadoff single against Cardinal starter Jeremy Bleich (4.1 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 3 SO) and Babineau just beat out an infield single two batter later to put Bruins on first and second with one out. Jermaine Curtis followed with an RBI double to score Dunlap with the first Bruin run of the contest. A hard-hit RBI infield single by Crawford brought home Babineau and ended Bleich's outing. Jensen then greeted Davis with an RBI single to score Curtis before Stewart lofted Davis' 2-2 delivery just over a jumping August at the left field wall. </div> <bR> <div> Lewis tied the score at 6-6 when he lined an opposite field homer just inside the right field foul pole with one out in the top of the sixth, before Taylor and Dunlap traded their eighth inning solo shots. </div> <div> Stanford will conclude its 2006 regular season with three non-conference contests next week, beginning with a game at Pacific on Wednesday, May 24 (2 pm, PT). The contest was originally scheduled for the previous day but was moved to Wednesday to allow members of the Stanford Baseball program to attend memorial services this Tuesday for former head coach Dutch Fehring, who passed away at the age of 93 on April 13.

He notched a career-best 10 strikeouts over eight innings, permitting two runs – one earned – and three hits in Widener’s 3-2 victory over Juniata. </div> <div> The Pioneers clinched the series finale in the bottom of the eighth inning as a grounder from Bill Davis (Penndel, PA) went through the legs of first baseman Dan Kaufmann, scoring Matt Fischer (Bensalem, PA). </div> <div> Used only as a reliever his first two years, Campbell pitched 12 2/3 innings with 12 strikeouts in that span. This season, he has won both starts with 17 strikeouts and allowed just five runs – four earned – over 17 innings. </div> <div> Campbell also has been a terror at the plate, leading the squad with a .483 batting average and five doubles along with driving in 16 runs. He is batting .500 (20-for-40) during an 11-game hitting streak. </div> <div> Widener (14-2-1, 5-0-1 CC) went 2-0-1 in its series against Juniata, picked by the coaches to win the conference, and leads Elizabethtown (5-1) by one-half game atop the league. </div> <div> Widener on Tuesday visits Neumann for a 3:15 pm non-conference game. </div> <div> <B>Andrew Johnson Named Middle Atlantic Conference Men's Lacrosse Goalkeeper of the Week</b> </div> <div> 3/27/06 -- Widener junior Andrew Johnson (Wallingford, PA), who came off the bench Saturday to give his team a big lift, today was named Middle Atlantic Conference Men’s Lacrosse Goalkeeper of the Week. </div> <div> Johnson made 10 saves in just over 40 minutes in 17th-ranked Widener’s crucial 10-7 victory at Messiah. The win in a re-match of last year’s MAC final puts the Pioneers (3-3, 2-0 MAC) in a four-way tie for first place. </div> <div> It was the first decision of the year for Johnson, who has a 4.86 goals-against average in just under 62 minutes. Last season, he posted a 7-4 mark with an 8.96 GAA. </div> <div> This has helped a defense which has allowed just 8.85 goals per game this year and has permitted only 11 goals combined in its last two outings. </div> <div> Widener on Wednesday visits conference-foe Drew for a 7:00 pm face-off.</div> <bR> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="335"><div> <B>Baseball Sweeps Doubleheader From Juniata</b><B> </b></div> <div> 3/25/06 -- Widener received clutch hitting and solid pitching to complete a Commonwealth Conference doubleheader sweep against Juniata, both by 3-2 scores with the latter going eight innings in Chester, PA. </div> <div> Widener (14-2-1, 5-0-1 CC), which is 8-0-1 in its last nine outings, in game one grabbed a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning. Jamie Schild (Fairport, NY) laced a one-out single to right-center field and took third when fellow senior Josh McLeod (Phoenixville, PA) singled up the middle. Sophomore Zak Atiram (Old Bridge, NJ) followed with a sacrifice fly to left field. </div> <div> Juniata’s seven-inning rally was thwarted in dramatic fashion. Zach Sternberg drew a leadoff walk and was lifted for pinch-runner Jason Enoch, who pitched eight innings Friday in a 6-6 tie. Junior Tom Pletcher (Royersford, PA) came on in relief and got the break he needed as sophomore catcher Matt Fischer (Bensalem, PA) threw out Enoch trying to steal second base. </div> <div> Pletcher got Darren Hake on a groundout and Troy Beaver to strike out swinging for his first save of the season. </div> <div> Penndel, PA freshman Bill Davis (3-0) struck out four and gave up two runs and four hits over six innings. He and McLeod each closed with two hits. </div> <div> Cody Zong (3-2) allowed three runs – two earned – and six hits over six innings with five strikeouts for Juniata (11-6-1, 6-2-1), which posted four hits. </div> <div> Widener in game two won in walk-off fashion. Fischer drilled a two-out triple to right-center field and scored when Davis’ grounder went through the legs of first baseman Dan Kauffman. </div> <div> The Eagles in game two scored twice in the top of the second.

Freshman Chad Walton (Coatesville, PA) laced an RBI single to center and McHale followed with a run-scoring single up the middle. </div> <div> Media, PA junior Brian Campbell (2-0) did all he could on the mound and then some. He notched a career-best 10 strikeouts over eight innings, surrendering two runs – one earned – and three hits. </div> <div> Campbell also posted a hit in each contest and is batting .500 (20-for-40) during an 11-game hitting streak.

The play </div> <div> started in the Carolina offensive zone when Joe Cinosky </div> <div> caused a UNC turnover that Ray Megill scooped up, starting </div> <div> the Maryland break. Junior long pole Ryan Clarke found </div> <div> Walters on the right wing, who rocketed a shot past Tar Heel </div> <div> goalie Grant Zimmerman. </div> <bR> <div> Carolina tied the game at 1-1 with 10:11 remaining in the </div> <div> second quarter when attackman Ryan Blair scored an </div> <div> unassisted goal on a diving shot from the back left of the </div> <div> Maryland goal. </div> <bR> <div> Walters put the Terps back on top with an unassisted goal </div> <div> midway through the second period. After Maryland settled the </div> <div> ball into its offensive zone after a successful clear, </div> <div> Walters scored on an iso play from the right side of the Tar </div> <div> Heel net and beat Zimmerman to the top left corner of the </div> <div> goal. </div> <bR> <div> That lead was short-lived for the Terrapins because less </div> <div> than a minute later Carolina midfielder Rob Driscoll scored </div> <div> an unassisted goal to tie the game at 2-2. </div> <bR> <div> The Tar Heels took their first lead of the game at the 2:56 </div> <div> mark when UNC's Ben Hunt took advantage of an extra-man </div> <div> opportunity. </div> <bR> <div> It looked as if Carolina would take a 3-2 lead into </div> <div> halftime, but Maryland junior defensive middie Travis Holmes </div> <div> caused a Tar Heel turnover in the final minute to give the </div> <div> Terps a chance to tie the game. Walters made sure that </div> <div> chance would not be wasted by scoring his third goal of the </div> <div> game off an assist from senior All-American Brendan Healy. </div> <bR> <div> Maryland took the lead again early in the third quarter on </div> <div> sophomore Max Ritz's fifth goal of the season. Junior </div> <div> attackman Michael Phipps took a swing pass behind the UNC </div> <div> goal and found a cutting Ritz in front of the crease where </div> <div> he one-timed a shot into the Tar Heel goal. </div> <bR> <div> Carolina responded quickly, tying the game once again less </div> <div> than two minutes later when Hunt scored his second goal of </div> <div> the game, this time off an assist from Brian Connors. </div> <div> Connors would then give UNC a 5-4 lead when he scored an </div> <div> unassisted goal on a low shot from the right wing. </div> <bR> <div> The back-and-forth contest swung in favor of Maryland less </div> <div> than a minute later when All-American midfielder Bill </div> <div> McGlone found Phipps open on the right side of the Tar Heel </div> <div> net. Phipps beat Zimmerman for his second goal of the season </div> <div> and a 5-5 tie with 6:26 remaining in the third. </div> <bR> <div> Maryland took the lead again, 6-5, with 3:23 left in the </div> <div> third when Max Rtiz scored an unassisted goal on an iso play </div> <div> beginning on a restart from behind the left side of the </div> <div> Carolina goal. </div> <bR> <div> Walters gave the Terps their biggest lead of the game at 7-6 </div> <div> when he laced a shot from about 12 yards in front of the </div> <div> crease to convert on an extra-man opportunity at the 1:08 </div> <div> mark of the third. </div> <bR> <div> The fourth quarter started ominously for Maryland when </div> <div> senior face-off specialist David Tamberrino was assessed a </div> <div> one-minute non-releasable penalty for having an illegal </div> <div> stick. But the Terrapin man-down unit made the penalty moot </div> <div> by killing the penalty without allowing a goal. </div> <bR> <div> The Terps responded with Walters' season-high fifth goal of </div> <div> the game at the 9:34 mark for an 8-5 Maryland lead. Walters </div> <div> started the play at the midfield stripe when he intercepted </div> <div> a Carolina pass on a clear attempt. The Rochester, N.Y., </div> <div> native then raced across the field to the left wing and </div> <div> slipped a low shot on the shot side past Zimmerman. </div> <bR> <div> Maryland put the game out of reach with 5:10 left in the </div> <div> game when Xander Ritz found a cutting McGlone in front of </div> <div> the Tar Heel net for another Terrapin extra-man goal. </div> <bR> <div> The Terps return home to face top-ranked Virginia next </div> <div> Saturday, April 1, at Byrd Stadium in College Park.

The Bulldogs (9-6) led 9-1 going into the eight, but the Red Foxes rallied for five before Rosenthal came in to shut the door.

Myers, Fla.) RBI single.</div> <bR> <div> The Bulldogs took control in the fourth, putting up four runs.</div> <bR> <div> Doyle led off the inning with a base knock and he was promptly plated by Janco who doubled to left center. Eric Rasmussen (Brewster, Mass.) then dropped down a bunt on which Marist third basemen Pat Feeney made a throwing error.</div> <bR> <div> With runners on the corners reigning Ivy League Co-Player/Rookie of the Week Ryan Lavarnway (Woodland Hills, Calif.) singled to score another run. Josh Cox (Gainesville, Fla.) closed the scoring by driving in a run with single up the gut.</div> <bR> <div> The Bulldogs tacked on three more in the fifth, courtesy of the long ball.</div> <bR> <div> Junior Marc Sawyer (Largo, Fla.) hit a line drive home run to the short porch in left to lead off the frame. After Doyle, who finished the day two for three with three runs scored, drew a walk Janco sent a tape-measure blast that nearly clipped the scoreboard in right center to give the Bulldogs a commanding 9-1 lead which they would hold until the eighth.</div> <bR> <div> To that point the revolving door of Yale pitchers had been excellent. Alec Smith (Turlock, Calif.), Mike Elias (Alexandria, Va.), Alex Christ (South Pasadena, Calif.), Brian Irving (Hamden, Conn.), Adam Barrick (Freeport, N.Y.) and Chris Wietlispach (Crystal Lake, Ill.) all pitches scoreless inning with only Jon Hollis (Jacksonville, Fla.) getting touched for a run.</div> <bR> <div> In the eighth the Red Foxes would feast of Matt Fealey (Queens, N.Y.).</div> <bR> <div> Fealey retired the first batter he faced, but then gave up six consecutive hits, highlighted by a two-run triple off the bat of Marist leadoff man Max Most.

Chris Minaker (2-3, RBI, SB) had half of Stanford's four hits while Brent Milleville drove in the first two runs of his career. Gus Milner (2-4) was the only Jayhawk player with more than one hit. </div> <bR> <div> Kansas starter Ricky Fairchild (2-0) was credited with the win, holding the Cardinal to three runs (two earned) on four hits, a pair of walks, and a hit batsmen despite not striking out a Stanford batter over the first 5.1 innings. Don Czyz, the sixth Jayhawk pitcher of the game, earned his second save in as many days by setting down the Cardinal in order in the ninth. </div> <bR> <div> Stanford starter Matt Manship (0-1) took the loss, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits before he could get an out in the fateful fourth. Manship struck out four and did not walk a batter. </div> <bR> <div> Stanford took an early 1-0 lead in the contest when Minaker led off the second inning with a single, stole second base and came around on a two-out RBI single by Milleville. </div> <bR> <div> Kansas tied the score at 1-1 with an unearned run in the third, taking advantage of a pair of Stanford errors. Minaker's errant throw on Matt Baty's routine grounder to the Cardinal shortstop allowed the Jayhawks' leadoff man to reach. Baty then stole second, moved to third on Ritch Price's groundout and scored when Cardinal third baseman Austin Yount could not field a grounder by Jared Schweitzer. </div> <bR> <div> The Cardinal went back in front, 2-1, with its own unearned run in the bottom of the third. Jim Rapoport reached on a one-out error by Ryne Price at second base, before going to third on a single by Jason Castro and scoring on a clutch two-out RBI single from Minaker. </div> <bR> <div> The Jayhawks struck quickly in their four-run fourth that ultimately proved to be the winning margin. John Allman, who had the game-winning hit in Friday night's series-opener, led off with a single before Ryne Price hit a high fly ball that cleared the right field wall. Erik Morrison followed with a double to chase Manship. Eric Davis came on to retire Preston Land for the first out of the inning before Afenir touched him for a two-run homer to left field that would provide the Jayhawks with all the scoring they would need. </div> <bR> <div> Davis (3.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 SO) and Nolan Gallagher (2.2 IP, 5 SO) kept the Cardinal in the contest with outstanding relief work. </div> <bR> <div> Stanford did manage single runs in the sixth and eighth frames to make the final score, 5-4, but left two runners on base in each inning. </div> <bR> <div> In the sixth, the Cardinal scored three times without a hit, taking advantage of three consecutive one-out walks by Jayhawk pitchers to John Hester, Yount and Milleville, before Ryan Seawell plated Hester with a sacrifice fly. The rally ended when Andy Marks (1.2 IP, 1 BB, 1 SO) retired Chris Lewis on a fly out to Milner in right field. </div> <bR> <div> Stanford again took advantage of wildness from the Jayhawk pitching staff in the eighth when Minaker drew a leadoff walk and moved all the way to third on a wild pitch. Pinch-hitter Brian Juhl drew the second walk of the inning two batters later to put runners on first and third with only one out. Kansas then brought in its third pitcher of the inning and its fifth of six in the game in Paul Smyth (0.2 IP, 1 BB, 1 SO), who allowed a sacrifice fly to Milleville that scored Minaker but protected Kansas' slim lead when he struck out Lewis with the tying run on second base two batters later to end the threat. </div> <bR> <div> The teams conclude the series on Sunday with former Stanford righty Kodiak Quick (1-0, 1.29) slated to start for Kansas against Cardinal righthander Matt Leva (0-0, 0.00).
