November 10, 2002 No. 21 VCU upends Delaware, 3-0, in CAA Men's Soccer Finale
NEWARK, DE - McColm Cephas scored once and dished out an assist to lead No. 21 Virginia Commonwealth to a 3-0 victory over Delaware in a Colonial Athletic Association men's soccer match Sunday afternoon at Delaware Mini-Stadium. The win gives the Rams the No. 1 seed in the CAA conference championships, while Delaware falls to 2-12-4 overall and 0-7-2 in their inaugural season competing in the CAA. The game was the season finale of the 2002 season for the Blue Hens. Matthew Delicate opened the scoring in the 19th minute when he one-touched a pass from 15-yards out past Blue Hen goalkeeper Kyle Haynes into the lower left corner of the net. Cory Greiner made a nice touch pass to pick up the primary assist on the play, while Cephas picked up the secondary assist. The scored remained 1-0, until Cephas one-timed a cross from Kofi Acheampong into the lower right-corner at 66:03. Obie Gravely added an insurance goal in the final minute of play when he blasted a shot from 25-yards out into the upper left-corner at 89:05. Haynes made five saves in a losing effort for the Blue Hens. Saul Montero made one save to pick up his sixth shutout of the season for VCU. Steve Ankiel played the final 8:20 in net for the Rams and did not record a save. The Rams outshot the Blue Hens 11-1, and held a 12-0 advantage in corner kicks. Before the game, Delaware honored their three seniors, Mike Honeysett, Mike Marino and Jeff Martell, who played in their final game as a member of the Fightin' Blue Hen men's soccer team.
