NEWARK, DE -- Sophomore forward Mike Honeysett scored the game's only goal at the 27:02 mark of the first half and sophomore goalkeeper Alex McGroarty posted the shutout in only his second career start as the University of Delaware upended Navy 1-0 in men's soccer action Tuesday at Delaware Field. Honeysett, a sophomore from Mechanicsburg, PA (Cumberland Valley HS), netted his team-high third goal of the season from 10 yards out midway through the first half and the score held up as the Blue Hens (2-10) snapped a six-game losing streak with their first win since a 2-1 victory over Temple Sept. 13. McGroarty (Quaker Valley/Sewickley, PA), thrust into the starting role with starter Nick Konawalik out for the year with a neck injury, came up big, posting nine saves for his first career shutout. Navy outshot the Hens 15-10. "We are thrilled with this win," said Delaware head coach Marc Samonisky. "We have been playing so much better over the last few games, especially defensively. It's nice to see that the hard work has earned us a win. Navy is a good team that has been playing well. We just hope we can continue to keep getting better." The Midshipmen, ranked No. 5 in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America South Atlantic Region poll, dropped their second straight to fall to 9-2-1. Leading scorer Brye Gerhardt, who entered the game with nine goals, was held to just two shots. Honeysett, who scored his third game-winning goal of his career, had six of the Blue Hens' 10 shots on goal. The Hens defeated Navy for the first time in nine all-time meetings. Delaware will host Hofstra Friday and Drexel Sunday in two America East conference games this weekend. AGATE: Navy............0.......0........-
