Brian Shepanski
NEWARK,DE-- Brian Shepanski scored two goals as the University of Delaware defeated Monmouth University, 5-2 in men's soccer action Wednesday night at Delaware Mini-Stadium.

Delaware's five goals were its most scored in a game since it scored six in a 6-0 win over Maryland-Eastern Shore in 1993, a span of 149 games. The Blue Hens' win improves their season record to 3-3 as the Hens have won back-to-back games for the first time since 1999.

Shepanski, a senior from Glen Mills, PA(Garnet Valley), started the scoring four minutes into play, taking a Mike Honeysett pass and kicking it past the Hawk goalie. Six minutes later Eric Carlson scored his second goal of the season off a Dan Keane crossing pass.

The Hens scored their third straight goal when Honeysett then scored off an Adam Flanigan corner kick. Five minutes after Monmouth added a score, Shepanski put in his second score, taking the rebound shot off Keane's shot off the post. The Delaware five-goal first half conmenced with a Jeff Skinner goal, assisted by a Stephan Mangat cross.

The Hawks' back-up goalie, Frank Gullace, shutdown the Delaware offfense in the second half, recording three saves. Joe Sellito and Anthony Viscariello scored the two goals for Monmouth (3-4-1).

Blue Hen freshman goalie Kyle Haynes (St. Michael's, MD/ St. Michael's) stopped five shots to record his third win of the season.
