I had a feeling that the Hens would find a transfer to fill JP Ward spot. The Hens have signed Yale grad transfer Cory Capri as the new QB on attack. Capri played at John Glenn HS on Long Island before PGing at the Hill School where he had 21 points in just 5 games. He spent three years at Yale and ...

Delaware lacrosse ended its season on a pretty depressing note with a no-show game against Towson on Saturday. I have read several reviews about the game and most people point to the OT game against Fairfield as the reason the “worn-down” Hens got run off the field by the Tigers in the CAA finale. T...

Head down to Towson Cluck. Should be able to find some good crabs and crab cakes. The team’s quality of play seemed to drop after the season ending injury to Joe Speers in the Stony game in Newark. It is not only Speers. I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but the Hens played without their other top LS...

BTW, all the talk about Delaware joining another conference presumes that these conferences are looking to add teams. Most are not. The A10 has a perfect number of six teams. It is perfect because they can schedule all of their out of conference games early and then settle into purely conference pla...

What lax conference is worse than the CAA? The MAAC, ASUN and America East are all worse than the CAA. The CAA has had two teams that have made the final four and five that have won NCAA tourney games (Delaware, Towson, Drexel, Stony Brook and Hofstra). No MAAC or ASUN has ever won an NCAA game and...

It’s tough to figure out what is going to happen when the Hens meet up with the Towson Tigers this Friday evening at the Tub in Newark. Delaware has absolutely nothing to gain in this game unless they consider winning the CAA regular season for the fourth consecutive year something. I am not sure I...

The playoff game was a lot of fun last year. Hope we have the same result. 10am tailgate for anyone interested. Usually have a UD op-up tent, but I'll have to look at the wind forecast... If not, follow your nose or give me a PM. I was impressed with the number of Stony fans, and their women's team...

There is an old expression that an injured animal is more dangerous than a healthy one. Well, over the next two weeks the Hens will be facing two teams that are figuratively “injured animals” in Stony Brook and Drexel. Each of these teams had high expectations for this season, but after struggling o...

It was great to have Matt Montgomery back on defense. He did a great job keeping Bryce Ford in check. The Hens helping defense completely smothered the Stags in the second half holding them to just one goal. They barely got off shots in the second half as the Hens constantly threw double teams at th...

This Saturday the Hens head up to swanky Rafferty Field to face the 5-5 Fairfield Stags in a critical CAA matchup. Delaware has beaten the Stags in six straight games going back to 2018 when Ben DeLuca took over the program. However, a couple of those games were scary close including the 2022 game w...

The Blue Hens are 6-2 versus Hofstra since DeLuca took over at UD. However, both of those losses were brutal for the Hens. In 2021 Delaware was 7-1 in conference and 10-2 overall when they faced Hofstra in the first round of the CAAs at Hofstra (for some reason) when they lost a 10-9 heartbreaker. H...

Hens got killed by penalties (Cuse went 4 for 7 and it could have been worse if not for Ellington standing on his head) and an anemic second half offensive performance. Interestingly, they hit almost every metric I listed for success in this game. Faceoff goal 40% - they hit 39% (close) Nearly pefec...

History This Saturday afternoon Hen’s sophomore Brendan Powers will head down to Chantilly Virginia to avenge the back-to-back losses that his dad Randy suffered at the hands of his hometown Syracuse Orangemen in 1985 and 1986. Syracuse’s Tim Nelson, Brad Kotz, Todd Curry and Co. beat the Hens in b...
