Rebecca and Hannah Pepper made their mark on the athletic community of Cape Henlopen, but now they have moved on to Division 1 University of Delaware, where they both have performed with the intensity needed to make their presence known in the college community as well.
Rebecca, a 2010 Cape grad, plays defense for the Blue Hens while her little sister Hannah, a 2011 grad, carries the action in the midfield.
Both sisters are seeing lots of playing time as Rebecca starts for the Blue Hens and Hannah is usually the first sub in the game.
UD lost a hard-fought 5-2 game to the Duke Blue Devils Sept. 3 at Rullo Field in Newark. Check www.bluehens.com for more information and upcoming contests.
