LAST TIME OUT ⚽️
As has been the case throughout his four-year career in a Delaware uniform, Guillermo Delgado had a hand in all three of the Hens goals Wednesday evening as No. rv UD picked up the 3-1 victory over Seton Hall at Stuart & Suzanne Grant Stadium. Delgado finished the game with four points on a goal and two assists and in the process collected his 99th career point to tie the University of Delaware's all-time leader, Mike Biggs, who did so from 1968-70. Delgado opened the evening's scoring in the 23rd minute as he collected a pass from Dani Laguna and tapped it in from just in front of the goal line. The pair connected again in the 37th minute, but this time it was Delgado dished it out to Laguna, who put in the shot from more than 20 yards out on the left side. SHU's Jordan Kinoshi tallied the Pirates (2-3-1) lone goal in the 74th minute after collecting the loose ball in front of the net. Carlos Perales notched his first goal of the season in the 87th minute as he also received the cross from Delgado to give the Hens the 3-1 final tally. Todd Morton (West Chester, Pa./Henderson) stopped a season-best five shots for the win while Seton Hall's Peyton Elder earned his first career start between the pipes and registered three saves.
