For the first time on Campus Connection, we spoke with a coach and one of his former student-athletes - Jessica Chrabaszcz, a recent-graduate and former softball student-athlete at Delaware State University and the school's head softball coach, Jeff Savage. Chrabaszcz is currently interning with the NCAA in the Eligibility Center.
Last year, the Hornets won their first ever MEAC Championship, in large part due to Chrabaszcz's play on the field. Chrabaszcz also excelled in the classroom and was named 2008 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America First Team.
In the interview, the duo discussed many things related to the student-athlete experience at Delaware State. Coach Savage, who was kind enough to join us from the recruiting trail, gave a background on the institution and what it means to him to see his student-athletes be successful after they leave his program. Chrabaszcz talked about her decision to attend Delaware State out of high school, the student-athlete experience, and what she learned from her collegiate days that she will use throughout her career.
