NEWARK, Del. – The University of Delaware men's soccer team fell to James Madison, 3-0, Saturday night at Stuart & Suzanne Grant Stadium in the Blue Hens' CAA home opener.
The Dukes, who have won the last three conference titles, struck early as Clay Obara fired home a shot from 18 yards out into the top left corner of the net in the fourth minute. Luca Erhardt them scored off a Rodrigo Robles feed in the 23rd minute to extend JMU's lead to 2-0.
Nate Corley collected a long pass from Demitri Turner and scored from 15 yards out in the 68th minute to close the scoring.
Delaware held a 13-12 advantage in shots, including three by Orri Thorhallsson, but could not find the back of the goal.
