Three UD athletes named All-CAA
 

University of Delaware women's lacrosse players Ashley Moderacki and Corinne Shuck and women's tennis standout Elly Giese have been named second team all-conference by the Colonial Athletic Association.

Ashley Moderacki

Moderacki and Shuck were among 27 players honored on the first and second teams for women's lacrosse through a vote of the league coaches, while Giese was one of 24 players selected by the women's tennis head coaches.

Delaware did not have a male player named to the all-conference team. The men's lacrosse all-conference team will be announced in early May.

The UD women's lacrosse team currently owns a 4-11 record heading into its season finale Saturday at home against Penn State.

The UD women's tennis team posted a dual record of 7-11 and lost in the first round of the CAA quarterfinals to Old Dominion.

Moderacki, a senior midfielder/attack, was honored despite missing the last six games with a knee injury. She started the first eight games of the season and at the time of her injury was among the CAA leaders in scoring with 22 goals and four assists for 26 points. She also has recorded 10 groundballs, 12 draw controls, and nine caused turnovers.

She scored a career-high six goals earlier this year against Towson and added five against Rutgers. A first team all-region and second team All-America East selection a year ago, she ended her career with 98 points.

Corrine Shuck

Shuck, a senior midfielder, currently leads the Blue Hens in scoring with 33 goals and seven assists for 40 points while taking a team-high 79 shots. She has also collected 16 groundballs. She has scored at least one goal in all but two games this season and has scored two more more 11 times, including a career-high six against Ohio State.

She needs just five points to become the 23rd player in UD history to reach 100 for a career.

Giese, the Hens' No. 1 singles player, capped an outstanding four-year career for the Blue Hens this spring, including the last three seasons as the team's No. 1 singles player and No. 1 doubles player. She posted a singles record of 13-8 this season and was 11-10 in doubles play.

For her career, Giese posted a singles record of 53-33, ranking fifth all-time in wins in Delaware history. She set a UD record with 24 singles wins as a freshman in 1998-99.

Elly Giese

Highlighting the All-CAA women's lacrosse team was 2002 Player of the Year Lisa Staedt of James Madison, Rookie of the Year Meg Dentler from George Mason, Coach of the Year Sue Stahl from Old Dominion and Defensive Player of the Year Tricia Dabrowski of Loyola. League champion Loyola placed five players on the All-CAA first team.

Highlighting the All-CAA women's tennis team were Co-Players of the Year Nataly Cahana of Old Dominion and Andrea Ondrisova of Virginia Commonwealth, Rookie of the Year Candice Fuchs of William & Mary, and Coach of the Year Brian Kalbas of William & Mary.

Highlighting the All-CAA men's tennis team were Player of the Year Florian Marquardt of Virginia Commonwealth, Co-Rookies of the Year Sean Kelleher of William & Mary and Marton Ott of Virginia Commonwealth and Coach of the Year Paul Kostin of Virginia Commonwealth.
