Sept. 2, 1999 Old Dominion 3, Delaware 2
NEWARK, DE - Old Dominion scored three times in a span of 2:41 midway through the second half to surge past Delaware, 3-2, in men's soccer action at Delaware Mini-Stadium. The Blue Hens took a 1-0 lead in the first half and dominated play for the first 55 minutes. Rob MacLeod scored at 37:42 to give the Hens the lead. Delaware missed on several opportunities early in the second half that could have extended that lead. Old Dominion took advantage of Delaware's missed opportunities when Michael Tooley, Spiros Blackburn and Jimmy Tanner tallied goals at the 21:12, 22:22 and 23:53 marks of the second half. Tooley beat Delaware keeper David Owens to a loose ball to tie the score. Blackburn scored 70 seconds later on a head ball to give the Monarchs the lead. Then, just 91 seconds later, Tanner tapped home a feed from Carlos Mendes to make it 3-1. Delaware rallied to within one with 5:25 remaining on a goal by Brian Shepanski. Shepanski beat Chuck Connelly to the near post to make it a 3-2 game. However, the Blue Hens could not connect on two good opportunities late to tie the game. The game was marred by 10 yellow cards and two ejections. Delaware held a 10-9 advantage in shots. Delaware will head on the road over the weekend to the James Madison Tournament.
