Surprise for a coach
Newark Courtyard honors record-breaking lacrosse coach
3:01 p.m., Feb. 16, 2012--The University of Delaware men's lacrosse team routinely has meals at the Newark Courtyard at UD before games, but on Friday, Feb. 10, the luncheon spread included something extra: a surprise cake celebrating Coach Bob Shillinglaw's 300th career win.
"We enjoy having the lacrosse team here, and we wanted to do something special to honor Coach Shillinglaw's very noteworthy achievement," said Bill Sullivan, manager of the Newark Courtyard.

Shillinglaw 's 300th win came Feb. 4 in a game against Detroit, the first game of the collegiate men's lacrosse season at Delaware Stadium. He is only the third active NCAA Division I head coach -- and only the eighth in the history of men's collegiate lacrosse -- to reach that mark.
