ON THE RECORD
"To lose a game from that position is embarrassing and unacceptable, and the responsibility lies with me first," head coach Tommy McMenemy said. "We moved away from all the things that were working, and I should have recognized that earlier. I'll look back at the different ways I could have managed the game better at 3-0 and will learn from the experience."
HEN HIGHLIGHTS
- Rich Monath, Marius Stenner, & Mikey Johnson all scored goals.
- Jaydon Fuller, Justin Ruth, Stenner, & Johnson all tallied an assist.
- The match started off strong for the Hens as both Monath & Stenner scored within the first half.
- The Hens returned to the second half on a high from their 2-0 lead, only to be met with an extremely emotional second half
- Elon scored their first goal twenty minutes into the second half, another goal made was revoked due to an offside call.
- Two ejections occurred for Elon; one on the bench and one for a field player.
- In rebuttal, Elon scored two goals less than two minutes apart while operating a man down.
- The fight for a draw grew more intense for the Hens as Elon scored another goal with ten minutes remaining in the match.
- Delaware's offense could not overpower Elon's defense, resulting in a disappointing loss for the Hens.
- Eleven yellow cards were issued alongside one red card for the Elon bench. Elon player, Majaliwa Msabaha, received two yellow cards resulting in his ejection.
Delaware will travel to Charleston for an away match at 1 p.m. on Saturday.
