HARRISONBURG, Va. – Senior Marco Siverio (El Rosario, Spain/Colegio Hispano Británico) posted the first goal of the game James Madison responded with two unanswered tallies Wednesday evening en route to a 2-1 victory over Delaware at Sentara Park.
With the loss, the Blue Hens fall to 8-4-1 on the year and 3-2 with nine points in CAA play.
Siverio registered his first career goal in the 35th minute off a volley off the post from a deflected throw.
The Dukes (1-8-3, 1-2-2 CAA) tied things just three minutes in to the second half as Billy Metzler collected his first goal of the season while Brennen Burton recorded the game-winner in the 82nd minute.
Sivero led all players with three shots while classmates Guillermo Delgado (Tres Cantos, Spain/Jose Luis Sampedro) and Dani Laguna (Tres Cantos, Spain/Jorge Manrique) notched two apiece.
Redshirt sophomore Todd Morton (West Chester, Pa./Henderson) stopped four JMU shots while his older brother, Kyle, picked up three between the pipes for the Dukes.
“Congrats to JMU on a deserved victory. We have played some terrific soccer this season and it would have been nice to clinch a playoff spot tonight, but it was not a game that I felt we deserved. We have one last home game Saturday and we will celebrate a wonderful senior class who will be anxious to play their last regular season game at Stuart & Suzanne Grant Stadium and end on a positive note.”
