Mike Pagliei
Mike Pagliei is a second-year member of the baseball team, an HVAC major, and a graduate of Brandywine High School. Pagliei has been a clutch hitter for the baseball team all season. Through 35 games, he is batting .363 with 50 RBI (Top 20 in the nation) and 8 home runs. He also plays a solid centerfield and has been one of the leaders on and off the field as the team has posted a 29-6 record.

Caleb Secrist
Caleb Secrist is the starting goalie for the men's lacrosse team, a middle-level math education major, and a graduate of Lake Forest High School.

On April 9, he recorded 25 saves in Delaware Tech's 15-8 win over Mercer County Community College.

Carly Collins

She is 8-1 with 41 strikeouts and a 1.26 ERA (Top 10 in the nation) over 55 innings. Collins is equally as successful in the classroom, as she is a former recipient of the highest GPA team award and has a perfect 4.0 GPA.

Chris Friend

As the team's designated hitter, Friend has knocked 8 home runs with 29 RBI and a .313 batting average.
