Looking ahead to this weekend's Beach Blast tournament, Virginia Beach, VA...

1:00 PM, Friday, Feb. 28, 
Wesley vs. Centenary (NJ)

CENTENARY COLLEGE CYCLONES first game of the season will be played earlier Friday morning at the Beach Blast tournament before facing the Wesley Wolverines at 1:00 PM. The Cyclones are predicted to finish third in the Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) in a preseason softball poll. Centenary posted a 17-5 CSAC record (20-14 overall) last season and earned a bid to the ECAC Tournament. The 2014 squad returns six letter winners and features 12 newcomers.

3:00 PM, Friday, Feb. 28, 
Wesley vs. York (NY)

YORK COLLEGE CARDINALS (NY) will be playing their second game of the new season when they meet the Wesley Wolverines at 3:00 PM, Friday, after recording their first game earlier in the day. Part of the City University of New York Athletic Conference (CUNY), the Cardinals held an 0-12 CUNY (6-22 overall) record last season. For this season, York has lost its sole senior from 2013, but now five experienced juniors may return for 2014.


2:00 PM, Saturday, March 1, 
Wesley vs. Rutgers-Camden (NJ)

RUTGERS UNIVERSITY-CAMDEN SCARLET RAPTORS (NJ) also opens their season at the Beach Blast, but will have completed three scheduled games before facing the Wesley Wolverines at 2:00 PM, Saturday. The New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) picks the Raptors to finish seventh this year. Their NJAC record last season was 4-14 (but 21-19 overall). Head Coach Brian Wolverton enters this season with 110 career wins.




4:00 PM, Saturday, March 1, 
Wesley vs. Va-Wesleyan (VA)

VIRGINIA WESLEYAN COLLEGE MARLINS (VA) will bring a tough challenge to the Wesley Wolverines early in this new season. D3 ranked #10 in the nation, the Marlins are already 4-0, including a doubleheader sweep against the #17 ranked Christopher Newport Captains this past weekend. They have more games this week and will be playing their 10th schedule contest this year when they step to the plate against our Wesley Wolverines at 4:00 PM, Saturday. Va-Wesleyan is part of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) where the polls unsurprisingly expect a #1 finish for them. The Marlins host the Beach Blast tournament.
