Haugabrook Leads the Way as Blue Hens Place Seven on Atlantic 10 All-Star Football Team

Date: November 21, 2004

PHILADELPHIA -- The University of Delaware football team, which earned a share of its second straight Atlantic 10 Conference title and earned a berth in this week's NCAA I-AA Tournament, placed seven players on the All-Atlantic 10 Conference all-star teams announced Tuesday.

A total of 84 players were honored among three teams with selections being made by the 12 league coaches. New Hampshire and James Madison, both NCAA I-AA tournament qualifiers, each placed 10 players on the all-star teams while league tri-champion and No. 3 national seed William & Mary placed nine players on the squad. Each team had at least one player honored.

Delaware senior Sidney Haugabrook (Woodward/Atlanta, GA - at right) was the first-ever triple award winner in A-10 history, being named first team kickoff returner, first team punt returner, and first team defensive back. He earned All-Atlantic 10 honors for the fourth straight year, joining former defensive end Mike Cecere (1997-2000) as the only two players in UD history to accomplish the feat.

In addition to Haugabrook, defensive tackles Chris Mooney (Huntington/Huntington, NY) and junior Tom Parks (North Allegheny/Pittsburgh, PA) each earned first team honors, senior middle linebacker Mondoe Davis (Woodside/Newport News, VA) earned first team honors, senior offensive tackle Trip DelCampo (Cape Henlopen/Rehoboth Beach, DE) garnered first team honors, and junior wide receiver David Boler (Charter Oak/Covina, CA) was a third team All-Atlantic 10 selection.

Mooney, who is also on the national CoSIDA Academic All-American ballot, had earned second team honors each of the last two seasons, Davis was a second team selection in 2003, and DelCampo was a third team selection last fall. Boler and Parks were honored for the first time in their careers.

William & Mary quarterback Lang Campbell, who threw for 3,037 yards and 21 touchdowns with just one interception, was named the Offensive Player of the Year; Massachusetts defensive back Shannon James was named Defensive Player of the Week, William & Mary kicker Greg Kuehn was named Special Teams Player of the Year; and James Madison defensive back Tony LeZotte and quarterback Ricky Santos shared the league Rookie of the Year Award. New Hampshire head coach Sean McDonnell was named Coach of the Year.

The 10th ranked Blue Hens (8-3) will host No. 25 Lafayette in the first round of the NCAA I-AA Tournament Saturday, Nov. 27 at Delaware Stadium. Should they win that game, they would move on to play the Hampton vs. William & Mary winner Nov. 4.

Haugabrook, an All-American candidate and a candidate for the Buck Buchanan Award until mid-way through the year, proved to be one of the most versatile performers ever to play at Delaware. He led the Atlantic 10 in punt returns and averaged 12.1 yards per return, including two touchdowns, and ranked No. 1 in kickoff returns (28.1 avg) for a 26.5-yard average, including one touchdown. Defensively, he posted 50 tackles this season (all unassisted), intercepted two passes, broke up four passes, and recovered a fumble.

Parks and Mooney led one of the top defensive line units in the conference as the Hens ranked second in the Atlantic 10 in total defense (300.0), passing defense (186.5), scoring defense (22.0), and passing efficiency defense (118.1) and ranked third in rushing defense (113.4). Parks leads the Atlantic 10 with 10 sacks for 56 yards and has 15 overall tackles for loss of 65 yards. He has 42 total tackles, including 27 solo stops. He posted two sacks in a game three times this season.

Mooney, who earned second team honors each of the last three seasons and was listed on some pre-season All-American teams, ranked second on the team with 6.5 sacks for 54 yards to go with 10 tackles for losses of 64 yards. He also broke up three passes and recovered two fumbles. He is Delaware's active career leader with 16 sacks and 30.5 tackles for loss.

Davis, who leads the Delaware defense from his middle linebacker spot, was the Blue Hens' leading tackler with 98 stops, including 60 solo stops. He also has 5.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, two interceptions, and four pass breakups. He ranks 12th in the Atlantic 10 with 8.9 stops per game. He posted 10 or more tackles five times, including highs of 13 each vs. Towson and Massachusetts.

DelCampo, a 6-5, 300-pounder, led an offense line that paved the way for a Blue Hen attack that averaged 155.1 yards rushing, 25.3 points, and 369.5 total yards per game. In addition, the Hens allowed just 15 sacks all season to rank third in the Atlantic 10.

Boler has caught 53 passes for 729 yards and one touchdown this season and leads the Blue Hens with an average 13.8 yards per catch, including a season-long 62-yarder. He tied a school record with 16 receptions vs. Navy earlier this season and surpassed the 100-yard mark for receiving four times in the final five games. He had 153 receiving yards vs. Navy and caught seven passes for a career-high 155 yards vs. William & Mary and 10 receptions for 144 yards vs. James Madison. He ranks sixth in the Atlantic 10 and 23rd in the nation in receptions (5.9) and is seventh in the league and 29th in the NCAA in receiving yards per game (81.0).
