Early Goal Lifts Towson to CAA Win over Delaware

Josh Brugger (2) had two shots on goal

NEWARK,DE -- Randy Tolson scored just five minutes into the game and Machel Millwood converted a penalty kick in the second half to pace Towson University to a 2-0 Colonial Athletic Association men's soccer victory over the University of Delaware Friday afternoon at the Delaware Mini-Stadium.

Towson, which won its second straight game and improved to 4-1-1 in its last six outings, improved to 8-4-2 (3-1-1 CAA) while the Blue Hens lost for the fourth time in their last five games to fall to 2-9-3, 0-4-1 CAA.

The Tigers got all the offense they would need just five minutes and 17 seconds into the contest when Tolson took a crossing pass from Kevin Corradini and scored past Delaware goalkeeper Kyle Haynes (three saves) in the top right corner.

Towson made it 2-0 10 minutes into the second half when Millwood, the leading scorer in the CAA, scored his ninth goal of the season off a penalty shot, beating Haynes to the bottom right of the net. Millwood received the penalty shot after being dragged down in the box.

Towson outshot the Blue Hens 10-8 but Delaware had a 7-4 advantage in corner kicks. Towson's Andy Hicks posted three saves.

Josh Brugger, Mike Honeysett, and Ryan Edwards each had two shots on goal to pace the Blue Hens.

Delaware will return to action Nov. 1 at James Madison while the Tigers next play at George Mason Nov. 1.
