Hens Clinch CAA Playoff Home Game with 7-6
Men's Lacrosse Victory at
Drexel
Date:
April 23, 2005
PHILADELPHIA
-- The University of Delaware used a
big second quarter to overcome an early
4-0 deficit and later scored three
straight goals in the second half to
clinch a key 7-6 Colonial Athletic
Association men's lacrosse victory over
host Drexel under heavy rain conditions
Saturday afternoon.
The Blue
Hens (9-4, 4-1 CAA) won their second
straight game and were winners for the
fifth time in their last six games to
clinch a home berth in the upcoming CAA
semifinals May 4. Delaware, which will
host a home post-season game for the first
time since 2000, can clinch its first-ever
CAA regular season title if Towson defeats
Hofstra later Saturday evening.
Should
Hofstra defeat Towson, the Hens would be
the No. 2 seed. The semifinal winners will
advance to the CAA championship May 7 at
the highest remaining seed. The CAA
champion will earn an automatic berth into
the NCAA Tournament.
Delaware
freshman midfielder Vincent Giordano, this
week's CAA Rookie of the Week, and Andy
Hipple (right) each scored two goals while
Dave Powers had a goal and an assist and
Joe Trentzsch dished out a career-high
three assists. Trentzsch had a 13-game
goal-scoring streak snapped but scored a
point for the 15th straight game since
last season. Sophomore Alex Smith, the
national leader in faceoffs, won 13 of 16
faceoffs to pace the Hens, who outshot
Drexel 38-23.
Drexel
(8-5, 1-4 CAA) lost its second straight
game and fell for the fourth time in its
last five games. Delaware, which had
defeated Drexel 23 straight times before
losing each of the three meetings, downed
the Dragons for the first time since 2001.
Each of the last five meetings between the
two teams have been decided by four goals
or less.
Six
different Drexel players scored a goal
with Greg Dougherty also adding an assist.
Goalkeeper Bruce Bickford posted 11 saves
in goal.
Drexel
jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead with Devin
Regan capping the game-opening 4-0 run
with a goal with 7:12 left in the first
half. But the Hens came right back to tie
the game as Dan Deckelbaum got Delaware on
the board with a goal with 4:58 left in
the half followed by goals from Giordano
and Powers just 41 seconds apart. Marty
Kupprion scored just his fifth goal of the
season on a man-up opportunity with 59
seconds left in the stanza to tie the game
at 4-4 at intermission.
The
Dragons regained the lead with 4:44 left
in the third period on a goal by Yoni
Cohen, but the Hens answered with another
pivotal run, scoring three straight goals,
including goals by Giordano and Hipple
just 23 seconds apart in the final minute
of the stanza. Hipple's second goal of the
game with 5:07 left to play upped the Hen
lead to 7-5 and proved to be the
game-winner. Drexel's Chris O'Connor cut
the lead to one at 7-6 with a goal with
2:54 remaining, but Delaware held off the
charge to clinch the win.
