Decision time for Marcorelle

Hens Senior LB Matt Marcorelle will have a crucial decision to make this week leading up to the Delaware State game on Saturday. The captain, who played limited playing time in the first two games of the season due to fractured debris in his leg, will have to decide weather to move on and play injured throughout the season, or sit out and apply for a sixth year of eligibility.
Head coach KC Keeler explained that Macorelle is a perfect candidate for a sixth year. The fifth year senior already missed a year in 2006 when he suffered a shoulder injury in the second week of the season against Albany.
Although Marcorelle has been one of the best defensive players in the Colonial Athletic Conference, he is often injured. The Hens need to decide if it is worth keeping him on the team while he is less than 100%. The other option is to save him for next year. That, however, would guarantee that he could not play for the rest of the year. Keeler said the decision is up to the captain. It should be interesting to see if he is on the field Saturday.
