Game time is set for 4 p.m. at Sentara Park and can be seen online through Lax Sports Network. JMU comes in with a 16-1 overall record while the Blue Hens are 8-9. Friday marks not just the 45th meeting all-time between the Dukes and Blue Hens, but also a rematch of last year s CAA semifinals, in which JMU came away with an 11-10 overtime win to advance. The Dukes are 27-17 all-time against UD, which includes a 19-5 victory back on April 6 in the league opener for both teams. JMU is 11-6 all-time against Delaware at home, with wins its last four in Harrisonburg. JMU HISTORY IN CAA CHAMPIONSHIP JMU is making its 24th appearance in the CAA Championship since joining the league in 1992. The Dukes are 35-13 (.729) all-time in the CAA postseason, claiming a conference-best 10 tournament titles. That included them winning last year s crown at Towson. JMU has been either the No. 1 or No. 2 seed in each of the last nine seasons, including the No. 1 seed in four, including the last three years. The program is 13-3 when holding the No. 1 seed and the Dukes have advanced to the title game in seven of eight appearances as the top seed. This is the fifth time JMU has hosted the CAA Championship and first since 2010. The Dukes have won the title in three of the four times it previously served as the host. By virtue of the win at Towson on April 28, JMU will also host the 2019 Championship next season. Breaking down JMU s records against the tournament field, the Dukes are 6-1 against Delaware, 1-0 against Elon and 3-3 against Towson. UD is the only team to beat the Dukes in a tourney at JMU (1995). GAUDIAN, WARDEN, KLAES-BAWCOMBE HEADLINE CAA AWARDS JMU reeled in three major awards and 10 All-CAA honors on Thursday, as Kristen Gaudian was named CAA Player of the Year, Haley Warden was voted Co-Defensive Player of the Year and Shelley Klaes-Bawcombe was tabbed Coach of the Year. Joining Gaudian and Warden on the All-CAA First Team was Elena Romesburg, Rebecca Tooker and Molly Dougherty. Three were Second Team members in Caroline Sdanowich, Hanna Haven and Katie Kerrigan were honored, while Dougherty and Katie Checkosky were honored on the All-Rookie Team. Gaudian became the 14th CAA Player of the Year in program history, as JMU has now won the award in three straight years and six of the last seven. Warden earned the team s fifth Defensive Player of the Year award and the first since Cally Chakrian in 2012. She is also the second Division I player ever to earn Player and Defensive Player of the Year honors during a respective career. Klaes-Bawcombe earned the three-peat for Coach of the Year laurels as she has now won the award five times (4 at JMU, 1 at Hofstra). JMU has had the top coach award now seven times.

SCOUTING DELAWARE The Blue Hens come to town with an 8-9 record and earned the No. 4 seed with a 3-3 mark in conference play. Delaware averages 10.18 goals per game while allowing 12.35 per outing. It is led by First Team All-CAA midfielder Becky Gohsler, who led the team in scoring with 34 goals and 15 assists. Mia DeRuggiero, a Second Team All-CAA pick, paces the Hens with 35 assists, which is second in the CAA. Chantae Sims was a Second Team selection after collecting 45 grounds balls and causing 28 turnovers. Taylor Carpentier was also Second Team All- CAA after leading the league in ground balls (47) and ranking third in save percentage (.487). Kateri Linville is in her eighth season at the helm, holding a 72-64 record. This is UD s fourth appearance in the CAA Championship over the past five seasons. JMU #5 IN THE POLLS, #4 IN NCAA RPI Despite stretching its win streak to eight games for the second time this year, JMU fell one spot to No. 4 in both the media and coaches poll. However, JMU moved up from No. 5 to No. 4 in this week s NCAA RPI ranking. The drop in rankings came following JMU s win at then-no. 6 Towson (17-16) on April 28 but a day later saw North Carolina upset previously unbeaten Boston College to win the ACC title. This season is the first since 2011 that JMU has been ranked in the top five and the team s No. 2 ranking earlier in the Nike/USL poll was tied for the best ranking ever, matching a 2000 Coaches ranking. SINGLE-SEASON RECORD WATCH Two players have set single-season records this year in Kristen Gaudian and Haley Warden. Gaudian set the season record for free-position goals (21), while Warden owns the mark for draw controls (76). Gaudian has won 64 draws, which is fourth in JMU history and 12 back of Warden s pace. Katie Kerrigan has tallied 42 assists, which is third in single-season history and seven off Monica Zabel s 2012 record (49). Warden set the single-season record for caused turnovers last season, with 47, and she stands 12 back of her own record, with 35 this season. That is tied for seventh in JMU history. MOST REGULAR-SEASON WINS EVER JMU s 16-1 overall record is the best mark this late in the season in JMU s 50-season history. It s also the first time JMU has won 16 games in a regular season, surpassing the 14 from the 2010 season. The Dukes began the year with an 8-0 record, marking the second-best win streak to start a season. JMU opened the 1988 season at 9-0. After tying the best 10-game start ever with a win over UC Davis, the Dukes have reeled off another eight-game win streak to complete their first regular season with only one setback. Prior to this year, JMU had begun 15-2 just once when it finished with a program-best 17-3 record in 2010. In that season, JMU hosted and won the CAA Championship, and was the NCAA s No. 5 seed. WINNINGEST SENIOR CLASS JMU s 2018 seniors have won more games than any other class in school history, holding a 55-23 record. The seniors passed the 53 wins by the 2013 class. JMU has produced five classes that have won 50 games over their respective careers. The 2007 and 2006 seniors both won 51 games and the 2017 seniors claimed 50 victories. The 2018 seniors attempt to become the third class to win three CAA titles, joining the 2004 and 2006 seniors. This class is likely to become the third to also make the NCAA Championship every season, as the Dukes made the tournament in five straight years from 1997 to 2001. CAA SINGLE-SEASON GOALS RECORD Last season, JMU set a program and conference record for most goals in a season (271). In the regular-season finale at Towson, the Dukes surpassed the previous mark, scoring its record 272nd goal in overtime to win the outright title. Kristen Gaudian s overtime goal off a pass from Katie Kerrigan gave JMU the school and CAA record in just the 17th game. Last year s record was set in 21 games. TWO 50-GOAL SCORERS FIRST TIME Kristen Gaudian and Elena Romesburg both passed the 50-goal mark this season, marking the first time in school history JMU has produced a pair of 50-goal scorers in the same year. Gaudian leads the CAA with 57 goals while Romesburg is third with 53 tallies. The two rank fifth and tied for seventh, respectively, on JMU s single-season top-20 list in goals. ELENA & MOLLY WIN FINAL CAA HONORS JMU finished the season with 14 weekly CAA awards, as Elena Romesburg was named Player of the Week and Molly Dougherty was tabbed Rookie of the Week. It was the third honor for each player. Romesburg tallied two goals, one assist and a career-high seven draw controls at Towson. Dougherty made eight saves, including one on the final shot of regulation in the closing seconds to force overtime. She held the Tigers to a 7-for-18 mark (.389) on free-position opportunities. GAUDIAN WINS IT IN OT AT TOWSON Kristen Gaudian fired the game winner in overtime to lift JMU to a 17-16 victory at No. 6 Towson and secure the outright CAA regularseason championship on April 28. JMU led 16-13 late in the second half before a non-releasable penalty sparked Towson to a 3-0 run over the final 3:52 to tie the game at 16-16. On the final play of regulation Caroline Sdanowich deflected a free-position shot, which Molly Dougherty saved to force overtime. JMU out-shot Towson 3-0 in the extra period, and after Sdanowich took a charge, Katie Kerrigan found Gaudian in front at the other end for the game-winning tally. Maddie McDaniel tied game-high honors with four goals, three of which came in the first. Gaudian finished with three goals, Hanna Haven led the team with six points off two goals and a career-high four assists and Kerrigan had a fivepoint day with two goals and three helpers.

They are the first JMU players to reach the top-25 stage since 2013, when former JMU All-American Casey Ancarrow (2009-13) was honored. The top-five finalists will be announced May 10 and the winner crowned on May 31 in Washington, D.C. Two Dukes have previously been named topfive finalists in Lisa Staedt (2003) and Gail Decker (2004). Entering the final regular-season weekend, Gaudian leads the CAA with 54 goals and 68 points, to go with 63 draw controls, while Warden has 29 goals, a single-season record 71 draws, 37 ground balls and 35 caused turnovers. SENIORS LEAD JMU PAST HOFSTRA Elena Romesburg tied her career high and the JMU seniors accounted for 11 goals to lead the Dukes past Hofstra, 15-10, on Senior Day. Romesburg scored five goals and matched her career-best point total after adding an assist. Kristen Gaudian had five points off a pair of goals and three helpers and Morgan Hardt scored two goals and an assist. Haley Warden set the JMU single-season record for draw controls, finishing with five to up her season total to 71. JMU opened the game with a pair of 4-0 runs to lead 8-1 with 13 minutes left in the half. Leading 10-5 at the break, back-to-back goals to open the second pushed the lead back to seven. WARDEN BREAKS SEASON DRAWS MARK Haley Warden already owns the career draw controls record and added single-season record in the win against Hofstra. With five wins in the circle, Warden surpassed the previous record of 69, set by herself last season and Steph Finley s 2014 mark. She currently has 71, which ranks seventh in CAA single-season history.

It marked JMU s first win against U.Va. since 2011 and the first win in Charlottesville in eight years. Kristen Gaudian scored a game-high five goals, to go with three draw controls. She also scored one free position goal to set a JMU singleseason record with 18 free-position goals. Hanna Haven scored four goals, while Haley Warden had three goals, to go with three draw controls and career highs of five caused turnovers and seven ground balls. Molly Dougherty made a career-best 12 saves to move to 6-0 on the year. JMU stormed out of the gates, scoring the game s first five goals, holding Virginia scoreless for more than 20 minutes. After back-toback Cavalier goals, Warden s goal with seven seconds left gave the visitors a 6-2 halftime advantage. Gaudian netted two straight goals in a 12-second span early in the second, extending the lead to 8-2, before the Hoos scored four of five to make it 9-6 with 24:25 to play. JMU answered with four straight to make it 13-6 with just under 13 minutes to go. GAUDIAN BREAKS RECORD AT U.VA. Kristen Gaudian, who leads JMU in scoring with 52 goals, broke a single-season record at Virginia. She netted her 18th free-position goal of the year, surpassing the previous record of 17 which was set twice - in 2017 by Gaudian and in 1998 by Julie Martinez.

DUO REELS IN CAA AWARDS Following JMU s wins at William & Mary and Elon, Katie Kerrigan was named CAA Player of the Week for the first time in her career while Molly Dougherty claimed her second CAA Rookie of the Week award. Kerrigan led JMU in assists and points, with 11 points off a goal and 10 assists. Against Elon, she set a program record with eight assists, all in the first half, marking the second-most in CAA history and the most by any player in a conference game. In the win over W&M, she scored a goal which was scored directly after causing a turnover; she also tallied two assists. Dougherty won both games between the pipes.

Kerrigan is only 12 assists off the single-season record of 49 set by Monica Zabel in 2012.
