Surprise!

The girls definitely got "punk'd" the other week by Coach Janice.  I'm attaching the videos below, which explain everything.

The first video is sort of long, and the beginning part not that interesting, but it's worth watching the entire thing.

I cant feel my legs coach!

Day one of DSU SOFTBALL started off great with Kelsey Lewis crushing her mile time!! When asked to run a 7:30 mile, Lewis said no thanks, I will do way better than that and set the standard for the team! Here is a video of Kelsey after a cool down lap and her track star time!

Later on during the day, the Team competed for their 300 yard shuttles with 3 seniors, 1 sophomore and 1 freshman leading the way! Congrats ladies on passing your times.. After the shuttles, a deal was made for the girls to complete a mile in under 6:30.. BOY DID THEY DO THAT!!!

So today on day two the girls get to run their mile as a team in under 8 minutes!!!!

Senior Jordan Reid who passed her shuttle times ices up in her dorm room in preperation for the team mile today!! Jordan "Awkward Sally" Reid will lead the way for the hornets in the race for their uniforms!

Seniors Casey Beighley, Tawny Reeger and Junior Skye Boris take some relaxing time in the training room whirlpool. These 3 spend many days in here thinking of master plans of attack for the hornets on game day as well as for conditioning!! Keep thinking hard ladies!! :0)

This was made immediately after conditioning finished! It was definitely made with love and shows how they really feel :0)

Hello!

Welcome to the 'new' Delaware State University softball blog!  In the future, we will have posts from players, coaches, and support staff in addition to audio, pictures, video and a whole lot more as we take you behind the scenes with DSU Softball.

First, some introductions.  My name is Maggie and I am the Sports Information Director at DSU and the main contact for Hornet softball.  I have just recently joined the DSU family as I have been in Dover for almost five months now.  I started with a few games left in the 2011 softball season, so I've already had opportunities to be around the girls and coaches - they are a GREAT group to be with.  I'm very excited to work more with them and become acquainted with new faces.  Don't be shy - I love meeting new people!  (And I'm new to Delaware, so if you have any tips for me, let me know!)

I've been working with associate head coach Janice Savage on all kinds of new social media ventures, so I know she'll be joining us on the blog at various points throughout the year.  Hopefully we can also get head coach Jeff Savage to post a few times :-)

I know Coach Janice has a bunch of the girls lined up to blog, so once they join us, we'll introduce them some more.
 
I'd also love to get some posts from administration, academics, strength and conditioning, sports medicine, etc.  Everyone is extremely busy, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get them, so you might just be stuck with me as blogging is a part of my job!

The purpose of this blog is to connect the team with family, friends, alumni and fans.  We've already gotten great feedback from players and they are excited to start this venture.

If you have any questions, comments, feedback or suggestions, I would love to hear them!   Either leave a comment on the blog, or feel free to contact me at mhayon@desu.edu or (302) 857-6239.


Go Hornets!
