In what was the season-opener for both teams following each of their games getting cancelled on Saturday, the Mount St. Mary’s Mountaineers took down the Delaware Blue Hens 10-7.
Delaware came into the game limited with attackmen Charlie Kitchen, Tye Kurtz, Mike Robinson, faceoffman Jake Hervada, and multiple key members of the Blue Hens’ defense out due to COVID protocols. The absence of those key players was evident, especially early on.
Mount St. Mary’s outshot Delaware 23-11 and won the ground ball battle 20-11 in the first half alone. They also had five turnovers to Delaware’s 10 in the first half of play.

The role of Lincolnville in St Augustine’s Emancipation history
In honor of Black History Month, Historic City News would like to outline St Augustine’s Emancipation history with a special focus on the Lincolnville neighborhood. Included are recommendations for lodging, restaurants, and cultural activities, provided by the St Johns Cultural Council.
Black Heritage in St Augustine
The Civil War began in 1861 and though Florida joined the Confederacy, Saint Augustine was quickly occupied by Union troops who maintained their hold throughout the war. Because of this, Saint Augustine is one of the very few places in the US where Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation freed any slaves upon its release: some states outlawed slavery two and a half years later due to low Union presence and inconsistent enforcement.
