Wolverines look for fan support at
first home games to be played this week
For the first time this season, the Wesley Wolverines will enjoy homecourt advantage in a few days as they host a couple of colleges for two midweek volleyball games.
► TUESDAY HOME GAME (September 9): 7:00 PM, Wesley Wolverines vs Goucher Gophers in the Wentworth Gymnasium at Governors Avenue & Fulton Street, Dover, DE.PREVIEW: Over the past weekend, the Wesley College Wolverines lost just a single set in their three match sweep, while Goucher College Gophers (Townson, MD) did just the opposite, winning only one set as they drop three straight games at a very tough Johns Hopkins tournament.
Still, the Gophers hold a 3-5 record, having impressively won three of their four opening weekend games in the prior week.
Kelli Wilkinson is the new head coach. Between 2002-2013, Coach Wilkinsom took Maryland high school teams to five conference championships.
The Gophers watched three key seniors graduate last spring, while now rebuilding with a team that has no seniors this year – i.e., four freshmen, a sophomore, and five juniors on the squad.
► THURSDAY HOME GAME (September 11): 6:00 PM, Wesley Wolverines vs Rosemont Ravens in the Wentworth Gymnasium at Governors Avenue & Fulton Street, Dover, DE.PREVIEW: The Rosemont College Ravens (Rosemont, PA), who have not completed a full week of their season yet, bring to Dover, DE, a 0-4 record. The Ravens also have a new head coach, Brian Phipps, who served as an assistant coach last season. He makes his home in Wilmington, Delaware, just north of the Wesley campus.
