Box Score

NEWARK, Del. - The University of Delaware men's soccer team sank George Washington in their final non-conference match at home on Tuesday evening. The Hens overall record rises to 7-4-2 as they enter their last three games of the regular season.

The program's CAA record remains 2-3 after the Friday win against UNCW. The Hens will close their CAA regular season run with two away matches and a final home game over the next two weeks.

ON THE RECORD - "It was a really disciplined performance from the boys tonight, I'm really pleased," head coach Tommy McMenemy said. "We moved the ball sharply, and found the right solutions in the right moments. Whether it was in transitional moments or against a low block, we had an answer for each phase of the game. Each of the four goals was high quality, and we were able to use our strength in depth to see out the game, and that will enable us to be fresh and motivated for Northeastern on Saturday."

HEN HIGHLIGHTS

Sam Donnellan, Marius Stenner, Mikey Johnson, and Jaydon Fuller all collected goals.
Orri Thorhallsson, Carlos Fernandez, Jan Schroeder, Donnellan, and Fuller all came in clutch with an assist, Johnson offered two.
Caelin Campbell saw the field for the first time this season and picked up two saves

HOW IT HAPPENED

Donnellan established territorial dominance for the Hens as he scored the first goal just under the tenth minute of the match with an assist from Johnson.
The ball remained close to the GW box for a long time as the Hens picked up three consecutive corner kicks; however, the Revolutionaries stole the ball and managed a goal during the 33rd minute.
Though the pitch was cold, the heat the Hens re-entered with for the second half fired it up. Stenner acted quickly as play resumed, his goal assisted by Fuller and Thorhallsson in the 50th minute gave Delaware its lead back.
The Delaware momentum did not stop there as Johnson scored his goal with a Donnellan and Schroeder assist three minutes later.
The Hens' offense held onto the ball after a faulty shot from GW, Fuller found the fourth goal from a Johnson and Fernandez assist as the match hit its 71st minute.
The three-point lead carried Delaware to the finish line as the Hens left the pitch with another home victory.
