Athletics Communications

The University of Delaware Athletics Communications staff works closely with student-athletes and coaches in servicing media requests. The office diligently works to provide the latest releases, notes, quotes and statistics to the media. The Athletics Communications staff and contact information can be viewed at the bottom of this page. All information can be found online at www.bluehens.com.

University of Delaware Athletics Media Interview Policy:
Any and all media requests for information and/or interviews are to be directed through the UD Athletics Communications Office first and then arrangements will be made as appropriate.

Exceptions to this policy would include pre-season media day events and post-game press conferences (either home or away). Should a member of the UD Athletics Communications staff not be present onsite at an athletic event to make arrangements, interview requests for student-athletes should be made through a member of the coaching staff (or the sport administrator on duty). Furthermore, the University of Delaware Athletics Communications Staff will not provide home or cell phone numbers.

The Athletic Director, or her designee when applicable, is the only individual with authority to speak on behalf of the department to members of the media with the exception of approved interviews and media events or press conferences as noted above.

University of Delaware Locker Room Policy:
The University of Delaware has established the following policy concerning equal access by the news media covering University of Delaware athletic contests. The following policy applies ONLY to University home regular season contests. Games on the road as well as post-season competition may differ. The following is the University policy:
      University of Delaware athletic locker rooms are primarily for the use by team members, the coaching staff, and the University of Delaware Athletics Department support staff. ONLY team personnel are allowed in the locker rooms at any time unless others are invited in by the coaching staff or athletics staff. Athletic team members will be brought out to an interview area as requested by the news media covering the event. We will also not bring media members into the athletic training room for interviews unless given permission from the UD athletic training staff.
