RICHMOND, Va. – The Blue Hens have been on a roll and on Tuesday, seniors Caroline Farley and Chantae Simms were named the CAA Player and Defensive Player of the Week, respectively, by the conference.
The duo has led Delaware to three straight wins, including this week's victories over Oregon and Louisville, while registering career milestones and reaching noteworthy marks.
Farley totaled 19 draw controls, six goals, three assists, three ground balls and three caused turnovers for the Blue Hens. In Wednesday's 18-8 win against Oregon, the attacker tied her own school record and set a Delaware Stadium record with 12 draw controls while adding a career-high four goals and six points. She is currently third in Delaware single-season history with 59 draw controls and ranks fourth in program history with 117 career draw controls.
Simms tallied 10 ground balls and eight caused turnovers in Delaware's triumphs. The defender tied a career-high with six caused turnovers and tied a season-best with six ground balls versus the Ducks. Her six caused turnovers were good to tie for second in Delaware Stadium history and third all-time in program history while her six ground balls ties for third in the Delaware Stadium record book. Simms eclipsed the century milestone and currently holds 109 career ground balls. Additionally, she is fourth all-time for the Hens with 79 career caused turnovers. Simm ranks sixth nationally with 2.55 caused turnovers per game.
The Blue Hens return home Friday to open Colonial Athletic Association play against the reigning National Champion James Madison Dukes at 5 p.m.
