Box Score

BROOKLINE, Mass. - The University of Delaware men's soccer team fought an emotional battle against Northeastern on Saturday afternoon. However, the Huskies left their home pitch winners with a final score of 6-0.

The Hens now post an overall record of 7-5-2 and CAA record of 2-4 as they head into their second-to-last regular season match. Northeastern's records now stand at 3-4-7 and 1-3-2.

ON THE RECORD - "Losing Jan and TJ early in the game obviously changes the entire complexion of the game," head coach Tommy McMenemy said. "We struggled to adjust to those losses, and credit to Northeastern, they exploited those areas with their direct play. With that said, we were second best in almost every category, and the story can best be told by them out-fouling us 14-3. I think that illustrates just how poor our press was and how much on the front foot they were by comparison. We have to collectively own the ugly result, and get back to work for Friday."

HEN HIGHLIGHTS

Adam Vik posted three saves.
Mikey Johnson and Jordan Illian each hit a shot on goal.
Marius Stenner, Sam Donnellan, and Justin Ruth all put up multiple shots each.
Delaware tallied four corner kicks.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The match had a rocky start as the Huskies took a goal in the eleventh minute as Jan Schroeder was down due to injury and unable to return to the match.
The unusual heat of the Boston October day took a toll on the Hens as T.J. Hastings was in and out of the match from injury caused by the 14 Northeastern fouls.
At the half, Northeastern had a 4-0 lead over Delaware.
The Hens continued to defend, but ultimately gave up two more goals to the Huskies as they left Boston shut out.

UP NEXT - Delaware men's soccer will play their final home match of the season on Friday against Drexel at 7 p.m.
