Hofstra 3/23
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...

Re: Syracuse 3/16
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...

Syracuse 3/16
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...

Re: Monmouth 2024
From Inside Lacrosse: 20. Delaware Kevin’s Vote: 20 The Blue Hens handled their first conference matchup of the season, defeating Monmouth 16-7 in the early game on Saturday. For how much love JP Ward and Mike Robinson get offensively, Delaware fans have to love the midfield production and promise....

Re: Monmouth 2024
Good news, Cam was back today and had a nice game. Bad news, Logan Premtaj and Jason Kolar were not dressed. Good news, OJ Morris had the game of his life. Bad news, the Hens turned the ball over a ton. Good news, they won despite 17 turnovers. And extremely good news, Brendan Powers and John McCurr...

Re: Monmouth 2024
LI Lax, Thanks again for your fine scouting report for Monmouth. Any idea how long UD will be with out Cam Acchione and Drew Lenkaitis? I have no idea. Cam could be back this week. No idea what his injury was last week. He played the entire game against Penn, so I assume he was injured in practice....

Re: Michigan 3/2
As mentioned earlier, the failure to clear the ball killed the Hens on Saturday. You can't miss 7 clears and expect to win against a top 15 team like Michigan. On the other side, Michigan was a perfect 22 for 22 on clears. All the other stats were pretty even except for faceoffs. Interestingly, Loga...

Re: Michigan 3/2
LI Lax, Thanks for the always insightful scouting report. How good are the UM Goalies? Both of their goalies are fairly mediocre. Through five games they have given up just a touch under 11 goals a game. Hunter Taylor has a .532 save percentage and back up Shane Carr is at 33%. Interestingly, in la...

Michigan 3/2
Tomorrow the Delaware Blue Hens meet up with the Michigan Wolverines for the 7th time. UD and the Big Blue have split the first six matchups with the cumulative score adding up to 66-69 in favor of Michigan. In last year’s game the Hens had all the momentum early and looked upstoppable with a 9-4 le...
Re: Penn 2/24
Not handwringing LILax, just supposing. I agree, this team is young in many aspects but quite competitive and fun to watch. At Penn, the team evened the possessions by winning the turnover battle. Just imagining how could it could be if we did better at face offs these days. There is some possibili...
Re: Penn 2/24
All of the hand wringing over this loss to Penn is a little bit much. Hens have been very good at overcoming possession differentials over the last couple of years. They had Tyler Barbarich who was well above .500 and Jake Hervada who battled injuries but finished his career at .500, so it has not b...
Re: Penn 2/24
Delaware losing a close game 11-10 to Penn is not the end of the world. They had a few critical things work against them. First, Virginia transfer Mac Eldridge was back from injury at FOGO and absolutely dominated the Hens winning 15 of 19 draws (Penn won 18 of 24 overall). Second, Penn goalie Emmet...
Penn 2/24
Delaware hasn’t really been tested this year with easy victories over Lafayette and St. John’s. But the season will start in earnest this Saturday afternoon at Franklin Field when they Hens face a talented Penn Quakers squad for the first time since 2000 when the Hens topped the Quakers 12-6 in Newa...
