Alumni News - Mike Dell Update

Former West Chester University standout linebacker Mike Dell continues in his second season with the Indoor Football League's Reading Express. And he's doing things in his professional career that he never did in his stellar collegiate career - score touchdowns and carry the ball on offense.

Dell racked up 277 total tackles in four seasons as a Golden Ram, but no points. In last week's win over the Lehigh Valley Steelhawks, Dell recovered a fumble in the end zone at the start of the fourth quarter. It was his first defensive touchdown for the Express, but not his first trip into the end zone this season. In Reading's win over the Cedar Rapids Titans a week earlier, Dell scored twice on carries of four and two yards. And he had a monster game against Cedar Rapids last night - two carries for eight yards and another touchdown on offense and seven total tackles including 5.5 tackles for loss and a forced fumble on defense. For his performance, Dell was named Week 12 IFL Defensive Player of the Week. On the season, he is tied for third in the conference in sacks with 8.0 and his 44 total tackles is good for third on the team.

The Express's last home game is 7:00pm on Saturday June 2 at the Sovereign Center in Reading against the Chicago Slaughter.
