Division III notes
Milestones: Two softball coaches joined the elite 500-victory club last month. Gina Loudenburg collected her 500th win April 14 when Wheaton College (Massachusetts) took the second game of a doubleheader from Clark University (Massachusetts). Eight days later, Julie Lenhart of State University College at Cortland claimed victory No. 500 in the first game of a doubleheader sweep against State University of New York Institute of Technology at Utica/Rome. Loudenburg, whose .735 winning percentage ranks among the 10 best percentages in Division III history, is in her 18th year at Wheaton, where seven of her teams have played in the Division III Softball Championship. Lenhart has coached for 13 seasons at Cortland State, in addition to coaching for five years at the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater ... Just before Clark (Massachusetts) served up Loudenburg’s accomplishment, the Cougars handed their own coach, Linda Wage, her own milestone win in an April 11 triumph over the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. Wage collected her 300th victory in her 19th year at Clark ... Rowan University’s Kim Wilson claimed her 400th win in softball April 10 in the first game of a doubleheader at Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. Wilson coached at Washington and Jefferson College for six years before assuming the reins at Rowan for the past 11 seasons. She has coached six Division III Softball Championship entrants ... Greg Henschel of Wisconsin-Whitewater collected his 100th win near the end of last fall’s men’s soccer season when the Warhawks defeated Elmhurst College. Henschel, who also coaches the women at the school, has completed his ninth season as men’s coach.
Miscellaneous: Junior pitcher Tim Kiely posted the first perfect game in 139 years of baseball at Trinity College (Connecticut) in the Bantams’ opening-game victory during an April 23 doubleheader against Tufts University. Kiely served up only 79 pitches and struck out six of the first seven batters he faced, and got an assist from shortstop Tom DiBenedetto, who leaped for and snared a line drive to snuff out Tufts’ most serious bid to reach base.
