WOLVERINES @ "GREEN SCREEN"
Wolverines pose on green screen,
promoting countdown to the opener
If you have been watching the photo countdown to opening day at the Wesley College Softball Facebook and Instagram pages, you’ll notice that the players have all been superimposed on many different graphics backgrounds.
This series of photographs was made possible by shooting the Wolverine players under professional lighting against a green screen, a device by which the photo’s background can be easily replaced digitally by another photo or graphic of scenery.
Our Wolverines were arranged in a variety of poses by Head Coach Juli Greep who also created the final digital photographs with the new backgrounds that were posted online. Coach Greep holds the secret to safely setting a softball on fire.
The actual photography for the day and the setup of special lighting was handled by Wesley’s Director of Sports information Cyrill Parham.

SWARTHMORE PREVIEW
Swarthmore Garnet building
on last season's improvement
This Saturday, February 24, marks the home doubleheader season opener for the Wesley Wolverine fastpitch team. The games are scheduled to be played at 12:00 noon and 2:00 PM on the DuPont Softball Field, GPS: 500 Mary Street, Dover, DE.
Here's a thumbnail look at the opening day visiting team, Swarthmore Garnet, picked up from the Centennial Conference's 2018 softball preview...
"KEY RETURNEES: (CATCHER/INFIELDER #12) Kennedy Kings, So... 1st Team All-CC, 2017 CC Rookie of the Year, .368-1 HR-18 RBI; (CATCHER/OUTFIELDER #24) Emilie Morse, So... HM Team All-CC, .306-1 HR-19 RBI; (INFIELDER #11) Elizabeth Curcio, Jr... .275-11 RBI;(PITCHER/OUTFIELDER #10) Marisa Mancini, So... .279-16 RBI; (INFIELDER #21) Kalli Segel, So... .327-2 HR-10 RBI; (PITCHER/INFIELDER #20) Emily Bowman, Sr... 7-6, 74 K.
"OUTLOOK: Swarthmore was improved last season and hopes to continue to climb the Conference rankings in 2018. Kings, the 2017 CC Rookie of the Year, returns for her sophomore campaign and is joined by Morse and Segel, all of which hit over .300 last season. In the circle, Bowman returns to lead the Garnet. If Swarthmore is able to adjust to the new system under (new Head Coach Melissa) Finley, the Garnet should be improved this season."
The Wolverines will play a second doubleheader on the following day, Sunday, February 25, versus the Gallaudet Bison, also at 12:00 Noon and 2:00 PM on DuPont Field.

CONFERENCE BOOKMARKS
Stats & more
Conference pages to bookmark
for this 2018 fastpitch season
This is the last season that the Wesley Wolverines will play in the highly competitive Capital Athletic Conference (CAC).
A new, equally challenging NCAA league is being formed for the 2019 season which will include Wesley, Neumann, Cabrini, Immaculata, Marywood, Marymount (no softball team), Gwenned Mercy, and Arcadia. (Wesley football will remain in the NJAC.)
For this current 2018 season, the CAC softball teams consist of...
■ Southern Virginia (800 undergrads),
■ Wesley College (1,384 undergrads),
■ Penn State Harrisburg (4,200 undergrads),
■ York (PA) (4,537 undergrads),
■ Mary Washington (4,726 undergrads),
■ Frostburg State (4,884 undergrads),
■ Christopher Newport (4,930 undergrads),
■ Salisbury (7,861 Undergrads).
You can find Wolverine game coverage, box scores, player and team stats and more at the ► Wesley College softball homepage.
The links below may be helpful in following the Wolverines team and individual players stats throughout the season. The stats are collected for both conference AND non-conference games.
► Click here for CAC SOFTBALL HOMEPAGE.
► Click here for both OVERALL AND CONFERENCE STANDINGS. (You’ll see that a few teams have already begun play!)
► Click here for CONFERENCE TEAMS’ STATS (hitting, extended hitting, pitching & fielding).
