STORY LINE
While Delaware will be looking to continue the momentum from its historic 6-5 win at Manhattan last Tuesday, Binghamton will be looking to capture its first victory of the season as the teams square off in a non-league class Saturday at the Bearcats Sports Complex. Binghamton will be playing in its home opener while Delaware plays its second of four straight road games.
HEN SCRATCHINGS

• A win by Delaware would give Shillinglaw 301 career wins at Delaware and give him the most wins ever by one coach at one school in NCAA Division I history
• Redshirt freshman Andrew Romagnoli is this week's Colonial Athletic Association Co-Rookie of the Week after scoring a UD freshman record-tying six goals in the 14-6 win over VMI. Romagnoli has eight goals in the last three games
• Romagnoli and junior Paul Major have each scored a point in four straight games
• Delaware has won the faceoff battle in each of the last six games since going 7 for 22 in the season opener vs. Bucknell
• Delaware is led offensively by Major (10 goals, 8 assists), Romagnoli (9-3), and senior midfielder and co-captain Steve DeLargy (4-5)
