What a season.
The men’s third season as a club comes to an end, highlighted by impressive performances, clutch results, incredible goals, vicious tackles, and spectacular saves.
A particular accomplishment to be recognized is the team’s fight to secure playoffs, finishing 6th to clinch the last available spot. Delaware Rising’s third playoff run in a row.
Among the results, the team did well to adjust to a couple big challenges throughout the season: a handful of injuries, a new coach coming in mid season, and games being rescheduled.
Coaches Josh Diehl and Chris Stohl, as well as captains Landon Kuhn, Evan Wherley, and Nathan Chwalik led the team to a new standard and have played a big role in the successes this year.
A swath of new players have brought their talents to the team and it showed on the field: Gabriel Thomas in net, Cooper Solomon, Nick Flury, and Brent Rader in the back line, Asher Bridenstine in the midfield, and forward, Galvin McCall.
Returning players also showed how they’ve improved - players like Mason Morris, Alex Brown, Seth Barrett, Ryan, Miller, Cody Lumby, Evan Scott, Connor Sexton, Eddie Kondrad, Jeramy Hermiller, and Colin McComb, among others made big contributions on and off the field.
The club would like to thank the players, fans, and volunteers that have helped to make this season a success. Thank you!
We’ll see everyone again soon.
As always, Up The Rising!
