Prior to the Parents & Family Weekend sold out game vs. Liberty, we had several guests to keep us informed.
Up first were our “Fightin’ Hens of the Week”: For offense, we honored and congratulated Brandon Truszkowski, undeclared major, freshman offensive lineman from Hatfield, PA and Germantown Academy. For defense, freshman linebacker, Gehret Gentzyel, from York, PA and York Suburban H.S. was honored. Gehret is a finance major and cadet in the ROTC program.
The Club particularly enjoys the attendance of our student athletes, when their class schedules allow.
Assistant Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator, Terence Archer, discussed our prior week’s game and the next game vs. Liberty University. It was noted that Liberty had extra days to prepare for us, as we will have extra days of preparation before our next game. Hopefully, it will have a similar effect for us vs. MTSU!
Our special guest was Fritz Stueber, Director of Development. Fritz played at UD from 2008-2012 and coached with both K.C. Keeler and Dave Brock. Fritz had a highly successful career with Gatorade in marketing and development. When his employer wanted Fritz to move to Chicago, he knew he wanted to stay near UD.
Fritz emphasized that what mattered to UD in the 1960’s, 70’s, and ever since, remains the same. That is, athletes that go to class, get good grades and have successful outcomes in life. Fritz reported that last semester the team had a 3.365 GPA and 12 consecutive years of a 3.0 GPA.
Fritz loves the history and traditions of UD and considers his affiliation with UD to be the best decision of his life. Thank you, Fritz, for being a Blue Hen!
We next meet on Friday, 10/19, and will hear from Offensive Line Coach, Chris Rogers, with special guests Chris Rogers, Strength & Conditioning, and Jen Steele, Softball.
