NEWARK, Del. – The University of Delaware men's soccer team fell in its first conference match 4-3 to No. 20 Elon on Saturday afternoon. The Hens overall record now dips to 4-2-1 as their conference record starts off at 0-1.
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
Delaware will travel to Charleston for an away match at 1 p.m. on Saturday.
