HEMPSTEAD, NY -- Senior forward Dennis O'Connell scored twice as Delaware defeated Hofstra, 4-1, Friday in men's soccer action.

The Trumbull, CT native broke a scoreless tie at 33:32 with a goal on a breakaway for his first score of the season to give Delaware a lead it would never relinquish.

Rob MacLeod followed with a goal at 38:14 to give Delaware a 2-0 lead. The senior from Livingston, NJ scored his third goal of the season when he knocked a loose ball in front of the net past Hofstra goalkeeper Russell McCormack.

The Blue Hens (3-7-1, 1-1-0) extended the lead to 3-0 just 2:29 into the second half on Seth Duhl's first goal of the season.

Hofstra (6-6-0, 1-2-0) got on the board with 6:07 remaining on Hughroy Daley's unassisted goal.

However, O'Connell scored again with just 14 seconds remaining on a headball off of a Dan Keane pass.

Nick Konawalik had six saves in net for Delaware. McCormack had three saves for Hofstra. Hofstra had a 9-8 advantage in shots.

The Blue Hens will host Drexel Sunday at 1 p.m.
