LAST TIME OUT ⚽️
Delaware (3-5-2; 0-1 CAA) stopped a four-game losing skid Wednesday evening, but the Blue Hens were still unable to pull out the victory with a 0-0 double overtime draw against No. r/v Temple. UD outshot the Owls,13-4, and also held a 9-3 advantage in corner kicks at what was a rainy and overall dreary night at Stuart & Suzanne Grant Stadium. Four of Delaware's shots came in the overtime periods. Guillermo Delgado led the Hens with five shots while Delaware held the nation's leading scorer in Jorge Gomez Sanchez to just one shot, his fewest this season. Gomez Sanchez was also without a single point for just the third time this year. Todd Morton continued to hold his own between the pipes as the redshirt freshman collected his second shutout in just his third start in a Blue Hens uniform. Morton picked up one save in the tie.
